Are you locking in, /g/?There’s only 4.5 years left to get rich, you know…this also means that there are only 4.5 years left for (most) of you to secure a 7/10 Asian girlfriend who is half your age

Analog watches in the post smartphone era seem like they're only for show and if you're "flexing" that's a huge red flag. Especially when it's a man trying to act natural the same way insta thots do. Oopsie I guess my sleeve hiked up at the perfect angle ha ha.I need someone with performance but not someone performative.

>>108641820>half your ageI am not a pedo like you though
>>108641820You can't create anything really new with those tools.
>>108641947Using proprietary tools for everything is also huge red flag.

>>108641917It's just old people falling further and further behind. They saw it happen when they were younger, said "it'll never happen to me" but sure enough. KEK
>>108641820That's the wrong lesson to learn. It's really: the guy that controls the money, listen to him very carefully and do what he wants. Even if it makes no sense. Get your own money, as much as you can, and save 75% of it.Every time you save up $25,000, invest it in an ETF and forget you have it. Drive used but nice cars, wear nice but inexpensive clothes, and buy all your gear on ebay. Never, ever take on debt for any reason. Pay 100% upfront for everything. Learn to cook well and cook your own food, the best, healthiest food you can find. Lift weights and do moderate cardio.When you're in the game ten years you'll have enough saved that you can take shots at building things.
>>108641917>what's wrong with this? none of the production software runs on their development computersThat's actually a real problem, it makes debugging and developing way harder than it should be.There's a rant video somewhere from when George Hotz was working at X/Twitter for a bit and lamenting all of their micro-services. When he worked at Facebook he was able to run the entirety of Facebook.com from his laptop. The real stack that was the exact same as what ran in production.Of course, these days you just vibe code your fix with hundreds and thousands in token costs and hope for the best. It doesn't matter that nothing can even run on your laptop.
>>108641858Bussdown to replace Excel
>>108642122Poorfag advice. You don't get rich by investing in just ETFs. Ebay is full of scammers. Entrepreneurs frequently take out loans. Paying upfront for everything and cooking your own food all the time have opportunity costs.
>>108642122>When you're in the game ten years you'll have enough saved that you can take shots at building things.And burn all your "savings" on some retarded business idea, instead of just getting some VC cucks to pay for your techbro lifestyle for a few years.10/10 plan, anon.

>>108642230Please, Look at VOO over 5 years, that's just S&P 500. Easy money. My main workstation was off Ebay in the $300s (Intel 11700k). Only needed a nvme and has been extremely solid running Ubuntu. Learning to cook seals the deal for getting pussy (or dick in your case) and prevents you from getting fat.>>108642231The idea is you do not "build things" you do what the person who controls the money wants (not usually your boss in small companies). You get the VC cucks to pay for your savings/wealth buildup.When the time comes to "build things", you'll probably have several servers gathering dust along with a pile of perfectly good laptops nobody asked for back. You can build anything you want because you are independent, have savings, and can keep things extremely lean.When VCs get rich, you get very little. They're literally selling *you*. If you want to make actual money, you have to start it and then sell it to a VC who can't start shit.
Even though the concept of a 16 year old asian girlfriend seems alluring, I think there are some unavoidable logistical and social challenges that difficult the proposition
>>108642360I recommend a 25 year old Asian that just looks 16.

>>108642520Do you understand how stupid that sounds? Let's say you've got $250,000 in the bank and you and a buddy spend $250 on a Wyoming LLC, say $1000 on domain names and hosting for two years and what's left over for AI, and a few hundred in gear on ebay, who fucking cares? Some people spend $1500 on a case of wine.Then "just start building bro", if you pull something valuable off, you can make a lot of money very quickly. Or, you can pivot into lucrative consulting contracts. There's many ways to do it. But to make real money you need to be the equity owner, not some VC faggot (until you sell it or get paid to cede control).

>>108641857Is there even a freefag means of accepting payment? Stripe takes so much of your money I don't get the appeal
>>108642617I'm not sure what you're trying to say. My suggestion is: get substantial savings first, *then* decide what amount of money makes sense to burn on chasing dreams. If you're saying $250k is chump change, well, I agree, I just wanted something realistic if you start from zero, or worse, with substantial student loan or credit card debt to pay off.
>>108642627you can self host a payment provider with tethered crypto ( USDT, USDC etc)
>>108642627just charge more, they take 2% if you price anything under $200USD
>>108641858ligma and suck on what?
>>108641820My Asian girlfriend is the same age as me. I didn't like the 18-28 year olds.
>>108642645> My suggestion is: get substantial savings first, *then* decide what amount of money makes sense to burn on chasing dreams.Why? Right now, anyone actually employed can afford to spend like $3k on the shit you're suggesting without quitting their day job or driving themselves into crippling debt. What's the point of waiting for "substantial savings" before you do it if you have an actually good idea?
>>108642669>My Asian girlfriendBait used to be believable.
>>108642669>My Asian girlfriend is the same age as me.Cringe. My asian girlfriends are all older than me.
>>108642722Because, by the numbers, your idea isn't good, you can't pull it off, and even if you could pull it off you'd run it into the ground due to mismanagement and inexperience. You are in a much stronger position when you own your living space and transportation outright, have a proven track record in life, and when losing every single cent of any longshot will mean nothing for your day to day life. If you don't own at least 25% equity it's just a job, work it, wagie.Many successful and lucrative small consulting shops are "failed" startups that pivoted. To have options you need to have your shit together, not be a 25 year old with $17k and spending $3k here or there on a moonshot.
>>108641820>you to secure a 7/10 Asian girlfrienda little generous don't you think
>>108642627>Is there even a freefag means of accepting payment?Monero, but freefags hate it because the lack of oversight means that even heckin nazis get to use it to make money
>>108642799It depends on who's doing the measuring. You don't want the ones that other Asians rate 7/10, you want the ones that they rate 5/10 but your dick rates diamonds/10.
>>108641820Imagine grinding in hopes of getting a 7/10 Asian. The point of Asian women is that lower quality White nerds can easily obtain them even if they're not rich.
>>1086418204.5 years is oddly specificanon, i hope you don't think 2030 is 4.5 years away
>>108642789>Because, by the numbers, your idea isn't good, you can't pull it offHow will having a bigger number in your savings account help you come up with better ideas?>you'd run it into the ground due to mismanagement and inexperience.Having a bigger number in your savings account won't help you get experience in running a business. Running a business will.>You are in a much stronger position when you own your living space and transportation outright, have a proven track record in lifeAccording to your own post the only investment you need is a couple thousand dollars and some old laptops from ebay. Why is all of that also necessary now?
>>108642974Most things fail or go sideways for a sustained period then fail. If everything went well all the time, there wouldn't be large tumultuous layoffs every other day it seems. A large part of knowing what to do is knowing what not to do. Learn what not to do on someone else's dime 100% of the time.Learn what to do on someone else's dime as well, but try to get some type of equity or incentive plan, however small. A large part of this is learning how to think, as dumb as that sounds. Understanding how market participants think, understanding how CEOs and boards think, understanding how high level business meetings work in practice, understanding subtlety. It's unbelievable how subtle some of this stuff is and how long it takes to read between some of the lines. The entire concept of value itself in any startup or venture is ephemeral. It's this amalgamation of current state, anticipated future state, market conditions, risks/hazards, and different types of risks and hazard.For example, you have market risk. What if this is a dumb idea and the market is not interested? You have execution risk, maybe there's a market, maybe not, but it doesn't matter if the team cannot execute. You have personnel risk, the possibility key people flake, walk away, get poached, or sabotage things. You have legal, regulatory, questions of structure, liquidity, organization, diligence of various types, and things that may never be said to you (how much do we have to pay you to go away?).1/
>>1086430602/Once you know kind of what you're doing, you have to actually do shit. You have to give those presentations, lead those teams, get those titles, stack that cash, get those incentives, walk the walk. Your first time through you won't be the big dog, you'll be someone who barely made it into the inside. Maybe you buy a house or something and get relatively comfy.At that point, compared to young retards, you could literally just do it on paper. That's what these VCs are doing. They're getting the structures in place to capture value for themselves. In OPs pic this means hiring those faggots and cringing when they Xhitter post like they know a single thing they're talking about. The VC could walk in, tell him to put his shit in a box and gtfo and nothing would skip a beat.I'm not saying be that faggot VC either, but you need to know what success means, and it means understanding them well enough to sell businesses to them.Again, it has nothing to do with the upfront money almost. It's really about understanding enough about a market, enough about a few secret tricks or inside baseball about the right way to do something that is not obvious, and understanding enough about how to position whatever you do that it brings you maximum upside. Look at that faggot Aaron Schwartz who built plebbit then got prosecuted and anheroed or whatever and now literally that piece of shit "site" is publicly traded. How convenient for everybody but him. Don't be him, be one of the anonymous guys nobody hears about that pocketed $17,524,000.00 and doesn't have to ever work again.
>>108643060Yeah, cool story, bro, but what does any of that have to do with savings, learning to cook or buying shit on ebay? >Understanding how market participants think, understanding how CEOs and boards think, understanding how high level business meetings work in practice, understanding subtlety. You're not going to understand any of that while working a low- or mid-level engineering job (which is all what most of /g/ is capable of).
>>108643121It means learn to cook because you'll get pussy (or in your case, dick) and you won't get fat. Save and invest because you *will* make money that way, and you will have a good, stable life.You probably won't "make it", which is fine because not everyone can. If you do want to attempt to "make it", all you'll *need* is a corporate structure, probably at first a LLC, and a few grand worth of shit. It will 99% be a waste because you won't in fact make it.When you do make it, and you get a few investors, a few employees, and get acqui-hired, congrats, you get $700,000 and the employees get a new job. Oh yeah, that $700k is on a three year cliff, see you at the office starting Monday at 9am for your own new mid level manager job in NewCorp. Wow, you fucking made it. Now what.Well, you just buy some shit off ebay, set up a new LLC, and get cracking and hopefully the next one is that $17,000,000, right?You need more of that mid level management shit than you'd think. Good luck faggot.
