>Lived with my parents during university cause I was poor >graduated with Art history degree >starting salary 24k >4 years after graduating I made my first million
Still can't believe it myself. Anyways I don't have more than 200k in my account at any given moment because I'm also investing it in property but I've got two flats in London worth about 2MM each and a string of smaller properties in Manchester.
If you actually care/need proof I can post a pic of my bank statement, I spent £30k last month on myself and I don't pay rent, I can't drive, and I'm single.

>he thinks 220,000 is a lot of money >calling people poor with only 220,000

Got any advice for someone looking to get into forex trading? I've got a little bit of cash and I'm tired of being fucking poor.

Okay, so here's Veeky Forums wisdom in three sentences, which I fully endorse:
>get a high-paying position that you will enjoy (if you need it), not to compare yourself with others but to change the world (if you can); >save up a lot of money, don't waste your capital on frivolous fetishes and useless services; >invest it all in low-cost index funds, following the simple but incredibly efficient "lazy portfolio" model.
You can literally leave Veeky Forums forever and be sure you'll reach financial success, if you follow these three instructions and nothing else.

No matter how much money you have user, someone's laughing at how pathetic it is. It's an endless cycle unless you're a rothschild. So getting uppity because on the global scale you're 1 percentile higher than OP is just as pathetic as OP being snooty with his 200k.

Well by the time I was graduating everyone was already hitting me with that "lib arts enjoy being poor meme" and all my friends desperately began applying to do PhDs, well I was a really good student but more importantly (I guess) was I had a good "eye" for art and good people skills, so my professor recommended me his friend who owned a high end art gallery in New York. From there I started small with absolutely shit pay in a loft to making bank in commissions within a few years. What really propelled me though was becoming friends with my clients who started inviting me to dinner parties etc and helped me then meet new clients. In the art world all these people care about is being "ahead of the trend" so by the age of 29 I made my first mill in a fiscal year. It wasn't 1 mill gbp which annoyed me (because I'm British) but by 31 I'd sorted that. Since then I've invested most of my earnings into property and Bitcoin (inb4 people insult me) of which I have just over 1k. In fact one of the best decisions I think I've made is renting out one of the student flats I have in Manchester in Bitcoin. Obvs there are measures that must be taken due to legal limitations, but it was worth it as I've had this guy living there 2 years now paying me .75 BTC a week.

At some point (once you get in the deep 7 digits IMO), you give zero hoots about what the others have.
You're just doing your thing, they're doing theirs. It's not a race. Also no one (no one who's relevant) is impressed by your money. Try to impress by doing interesting things with it instead.
