i have $100,000 USD in savings... what now? i thought things would feel different once i hit this milestone, but everything feels exactly the same. do i have to hit 1m before it starts to feel different?
>>82701872you need to suck my dick. that's the only thing that can fill the hole in your heart
>>82701872That's too much for savings, invest some of that shit or inflation will take you for a ride.
>>82701872>what now?Make more money because that ain't even enough for a house$100k is like 5-years worth of income, way too little
>>82701892i'm not so sure about that...>>82701894it already is. sorry if that wasn't clear. i meant that the amount of money i have accrued ("saved") has reached 100k. it's in a mix of vanguard growth, vanguard 500, and a target retirement fund. weighted more towards the growth currently because it's still early on in my career>>82701896is there even any point of buying a house as a single individual? genuinely asking
>>82701872In 2025, a person would need on the order of $200 to $500 billion (USD) to effectively buy everything they could reasonably want for the rest of their life, with a huge safety margin for surprises and future innovations.If I had to pick one number, I'd lean ~$300 billion as a plausible "buy-everything-you-reasonably-desire" threshold.

>>82701910>is there even any point of buying a house as a single individualyour own cave where you can do whatever you want and bring whoever you wantinstead of being restricted to a single room, now you have the whole house hurray!
>>82701924no one dangerous is coming into my apartment for me to have to worry about that >>82701925my apartment already has multiple rooms, and whenever something breaks i can just call maintenance to fix it and when i come home from work everything is magically better with no effort on my part
>>82701940OK I mean if the right to shoot people to death isn't appealing, then yeah maybe apartment life is right for you. Housing for yourself is a liability, not an investment.
>>82701940>my apartment already has multiple roomsOh you have your own place already? Then keep at it, man, you're doing alright alreadyIf you're looking for property, never buy apartments/condos unless you plan on renting it outAlways go for landed houses
>>82701872it never feel different, money never gives meaning, it just changes the problems that you have.
