i can't even spend €50 on a kettle without thinking about how in 20 years that's €350i just want to know i will always have a house and food and electricity
>>62669885Have you tried making more money?
350 Euros isn't going to make a difference when houses are 10 years salary.

>>62669885Come to America. Live with me, fren.
>>62669946Opposite day today? Incel mentality is not living in the moment and having nice things
>>62669885>can't even spend €50 on a kettle without thinking about how in 20 years that's €350yeah that's how inflation works. buy the kettle now, sell it in 20 years for 250, you basically only paid a third of that to use the kettle
>steal the kettle>sell it for 50 euro>wait 20 years>buy a new kettle for 350 euro

News about the grading company (a newcomer in the industry i felt like trying) who is lowkey trolling me, or is lacking a bit in competence. Few days ago i was telling you they contacted me after months to tell me they couldn't grade a tiny obol worth several Ks i sent their way.I reached back to them to ask for a "certificate of counterfeiting" i could present to the cops to fill a complain against the seller.And today they answered me that upon closer inspection (?? you are fucking grading coins lol), the coin seemed genuine but their lack of expertise on this specific issue wasn't high enough to slab the coin. But they issued me an authenticity certificate digitally instead... wtf.I felt something was wrong when they initially told me the coin wasn't legit, i'm just an amateur but i've handled ancients every day for years now and the coin didn't raise any red flag when i had it in hand.Next time i'll stick to reputed graders, even if it's 3x the price i don't want to deal with this shit, i accused the seller over a nothingburger most likely.(addendum : the "uncertain" mention is about the mint, archeologist think of Tarsos but the coin is R4 so the rarity make it hard to figure out for sure)
>>62669885>i just want to know i will always have a house and food and electricityThis is the real scourge of investing, the desire for safety. My go to example is Bernie Madoff, running the largest Ponzi scheme in history, by promising lower returns than the S&P - but with reduced volatility. That was the fucking Ponzi, a ponzi of reliability and security.You want security, the cost you pay to sate that feeling is absurdly high. You are better off just riding with waves and have confidence that you can always bounce back no matter how hard you get stomped into the ground.
>>62669892Clearly you missed the part where OP said>€
>>62669892>making money in political dictatorshipsKEKTry making above78k in the netherlands and see what happens.49.9% is taking away immediately since you don't need that much money but the gov does!Not even including all the other taxes and trying to save money? that's a 36% tax for the white germanic race fellow men, trust us!
>>62669885You have poor man's mentality, you need to change it first
>>62669885In 20 years, 350 will be 35 in today's money. Buy the fucking kettle and get over yourself.
>>62669885i lived like this for 15 years amassed 2 mil and had half of it stolen anywaydont be like me
>>62669885There are no guarantees in life anon. Be wise with your money but cherish your human relationships as a form of social insurance.You only have 22,000 days left in your life probably. Possibly less! Any one of those days you could have an accident and die. Learn to value your time and comfort more highly/appropriately.
>>62669885>in 20 years that's €350Your compound interest mindset make absolutely full of STEM mindset.Lmao you must be fucking poor like 99.999% of all the STEM retard incels who think themselves are fucking high quality human being and smart and intelligent and outliars and full of confidence.
>>62675031>outliars
>>62675070There is a particular kind of STEM bro who mistakes technical competence for proof of being a superior human being. They collect degrees, coding skills, mathematical knowledge, job titles, or impressive-sounding credentials and then build an entire personality around the belief that these things automatically make them smarter, more valuable, and somehow above everyone else. They call themselves “high quality,” “high IQ,” “outliers,” “independent thinkers,” and “confident,” while often demonstrating very little self-awareness. The irony is that genuine intelligence usually comes with an awareness of how much remains unknown. Someone who is actually capable can distinguish between being knowledgeable in a narrow technical domain and being wise, socially perceptive, emotionally mature, or broadly intelligent. Knowing how to solve equations, build software, analyze data, or understand engineering systems does not magically grant someone superior judgment about relationships, society, morality, or human nature. The most exhausting version is the insecure guy who turns STEM into an identity and then uses that identity to compensate for everything else he feels inadequate about. He talks constantly about meritocracy, optimization, rationality, and “high-value” people, but becomes extremely emotional when reality fails to validate his imagined status. Every disagreement becomes evidence that other people are stupid. Every rejection becomes proof that women are shallow. Every social failure gets reframed as being “too intelligent” or “too different” for ordinary people to understand. Real confidence does not require repeatedly announcing that you are exceptional. Real intelligence does not need an audience constantly confirming
>>62675119He's making fun of your spelling mistake, schizo
>>62675149And he think he is smart to make fun of mistake making lmao
>>62670142You don't have nice things if you don't have a few hundred bucks.
>>62675257If you lack nice things for want of a few hundred $ you should logoff for the day and collect some aluminum cans
>>62675180>>62675119are you literally indian or is it a bit?
>>62670807True, but it gets a lot harder to maintain that confidence after getting stomped into the ground a number of times (but thats just life in general)
>>62672673>any one of those days you could have an accident and dieif only
>>62669885I was in that situation for a while in 2021 before I almost pulled it off with a weird dogRight now, things haven't changed much except that I now have two jobs, a pot.fun pot to check, three alts that probably won't give me anything, and a remake of that old dog. It's a little late to pull it off, but I think it's easier with two jobs
