Gentlemen, I've noticed a serious problem on this board.
The constant larping about "buying lambos" and spending your hard-earned money on frivolous purchases is nigger-tier behaviour. You know who blows their money on dumb shit? You guessed it. Niggers.
Who in their right mind, when they earn their first million, would spend that money on a $100M Rolex, a $300M car, drugs, and other stupid shit until they ultimately put themselves into debt?
If you can't manage your fucking money after earning it you deserve to be poor. Invest it in something else. Take your money and grow it. Start a fucking business. The crypto bubble is a once in a lifetime opportunity that gives us financial power over everything we despise. Put your fucking money to fucking use and grow your wealth instead of being fucking shitskins and blowing it on trivial shit for your own vanity. Don't be a fucking nigger, Veeky Forums.
I cannot stress this enough. Wealth is determined by how much money you keep, not how much you make. A lambo is not a fucking asset, it's a toy that depreciates in value. Invest in assets and not liabilities that are going to cost you money in the long run.
General wealth discussion. AMA.

I'd buy a house in the hills or further down the coast so it's cheaper & get a self sustaining garden set up so i only have to maintain the garden once all the plants have started growing, get some chickens for eggs too so my shopping requirements are minimal
then i'd quit work and never work again
Andrew Wright
>earn a million >spend 100 million on a rolex >spend 300 million on cars
are you stupid opie
Jaxon Sanders
M stands for thousand you fucking ape.
Kevin White
He's right. Don't buy a lambo, just rent one
Jose Lee
buy an overpriced piece of shit in shitville for no good reason when you could buy a big ass farm and do anything you want while doing the world a favor organic farming. Ull never amount to shyt user. You have to lose everything first like i did.
Oliver Parker
you mean white trash cracka
Asher Phillips
Even niggers realize this now. Jay Z's "Fuck living rich and dying broke" line is famous in the black community nowadays.
That said I completely agree and Veeky Forums should have a ETF investment sticky for people that want to cash-out and grow wealth organically.
Elijah Hughes
Better than what the other retards plan to do on this board.
Jonathan Martinez
Smart man. Purchasing goods that will only depreciate over time is a poor move if you barely are in the millions. Get a Ferrari when you are filthy rich, not just "I have two million dollars" rich.
You need to take that million, liquidate part of it, pay off any and all debts, get a nice small place or an apartment, then invest, invest, INVEST. Now that you have a few hundred thousand to invest, diversify your portfolio. Get that big money. The goal shouldn't be 1 million or 2 million, the goal should be Goldman Sachs calling you up because you are one of the largest share holders. Get the long money, and turn your family name into royalty.
Luis Gonzalez
No it doesn't you fucking brainlet. K stands for thousand.
Nathan Cooper
Let me make it first before you tell me how to spend it.
Blake Ramirez
no, M is a roman numeral for 1000 we use the K abbreviation, fucktard.
Hunter Johnson
Good to see someone else with basic financial sense. A few million is not a lot of money and should not be spent to finance a life you can't afford.
Joshua Taylor
I mean... what would I do...
Property Shares in big companies like Microsoft, Alphaber, Amazon etc. Index Fund investment...
What else?
Jordan Carter
"K" is a colloquial way of writing one thousand. M is latin for mille (as in millenium = thousand?)

Landon Cooper
I'd import a cute south american twink and make him my bf (wife). That's all I want. Or maybe a russian one. Not sure yet.
Jace Moore
I work in finance. We use M.
Jackson Murphy
I’m almost certain it’s just a meme. I wouldn’t actually buy a Lamborghini unless I had several million dollars.
Andrew Sanchez
Then how do you abbreviate for million at your super-totally-not-LARP finance job?
Nathan Brown
Even then you're fucking retarded. Several million is what? $4? $10? A lamborghini starts at $200,000. Even if you had $10 million and bought the cheapest lambo that is 2% of your money. Add insurance, maintenance, and other costs on such an expensive sports car and you'd be approaching 10% of your net worth.
Don't be a nigger.
Blake Scott
You realize you need roughly $30MM to be considered a small player in the big circles?
Gabriel Brooks
One million is a thousand thousand, so you'd write MM.
Anthony Gomez
Yep, I am having so much fun seeing all those fucks talking about Lambo this, Rolex that and a speed-boat on top. Yeah, you'll be poor soon enough.
Going to split my proceeds into one part crypto I'll never sell, one part real estate fund shares and one part a nice flat or house to live in. Passive income and reduced costs for living, baby.
Nathan Russell
You use the 'MM' suffix. $10MM is 10,000,000.
Cooper Richardson
I would normally assume this is trolling. But I've been on Veeky Forums long enough to know these people are real.
Why the fuck has the average IQ on this board dropped below 3 digits?
Lucas Jones
now the newfags even want to take lamboland from me wth
Grayson Sanders
Reading the replies on this thread, I am now truly convinced that people are inherently destined to either be poor or make money.
If you are not born with the skill necessary to retain wealth and you lack a BASIC understanding of how to manage your money, you are going to end up where you started. It's a comforting fact knowing not just any retard can make it.
People see a 10 followed by six zeroes and think they're set for life. If you live to be even only 60 with that money that's around $160,000 a year before taxes. BEFORE TAXES. Do you see people who make $160,000 a year spending money on dumb shit?
No.

I am with you 100%. I will be starting soon in crypto with anywhere from 2-5 ETH seeking a few actually useful and reliable long holds (12-24 months) and play with the remaining 25% diversified in risky short term trying to grow my egg.
Once the money goes in, that's it. It's gone forever. Thats the way I see it. Its so much mucking around cashing out. I will never be seeing that value in fiat again, I am prepared for that money to go into the system for over a decade before we can even begin to use crypto on normal everyday purchases and even then I will continue to live frugally as I do now.
I am among the shittiest living people on this board, but, I am used to it and I dont live beyond my means. I wash like a china man every night saving on the hot water bill knowing that in the future, it will have all been worth it.
pic related is how I visualize it. I hope more people here start to think like us.

I commend you. Living well within your means and even below that develops grit and character. Look at the richest men in the world. Warren Buffett, Bill Gates. They all live within their means.
Buffett drives himself to work every day in a sedan and drinks coke and eats fast food.
All the world's wealthiest families that survived generations know this. They know that in order to retain wealth one must have grit. The Rockefellers give their kids a $20 week allowance or something and make them work manual jobs.
Aiden Wood
>Do you see people who make $160,000 a year spending money on dumb shit? Boats, jetskis, new high end suvs every year. 160k a year is pretty much the normie sweet spot for spending all your money on dumb shit

Hey, I see that you left your tripcode on. Here at Veeky Forums.org we strive to help each other in the community to make quality posts and content. You see a tripcode isn't necessary unless it's relevant to identify you in the thread, otherwise it only distracts from the discussion.
Thank you for your understanding and we hope we can make Veeky Forums a beautiful place for all.
Julian Brooks
There's no one recipe for making wealth. Invest in assets, then take profits from those assets and KEEP REINVESTING THEM.
There's an excellent chart depicting how the working class, middle class, and upper class earn and spend their money. I don't have it on me but it highlights my point perfectly.
Number one rule is don't live beyond your means.

I'd buy an large apartment in the city centre, top end computer and a home gym.
Oliver Rodriguez
ETF have the highest profitmargins right now. Investment fuds like Blackstone actually make LESS money than ETF's despite asking a fee and being managed by industry experts.
These companies will all slowly die as ETFs outperformed them.
Make sure to take an ETF with 100% stocks though. No bullshit ETF with treasury bonds or equity like gold bullion.
Carson Parker
Glad to help, user. A boat is one of the most expensive liabilities one could own. The yearly upkeep for any boat is 20% of its original price.
Christian Rogers
Whats with all these rich old dudes with constitutions of the terminator? Trump and Buffett eat like shit, drink the sugary jew every day, sleep like 5 hours a night and are going strong well past their expiration date.
What's the secret?

James Hernandez
Have you tried struggling to get your mind straight?
Literally get dropped off for two weeks in a big city with $500 in your pocket. You'll understand your true worth after that.

This is not related to finance, but I truly believe (and have some scientific knowledge to back it up) that the key to a long life is happiness. There's a reason why countries like Italy and Greece live the longest lives. They drink wine every day, have strong family life, and are laid back. This is not a good formula for a stable economy, but definitely one for a long, happy life.
Dominic Hughes
I bet they eat better than you think.
Obviously buffet is going to TRY cola since he spent billions on shares. Also the smarter you are the less sleep you need. I've seen people operate off of four hours normally.
Adrian Taylor
I have roughly half a mil and live in a 300eur/month apartment eating free college food. Who here /nevercashedout/?
Gavin Kelly
Even if you were to make a million in Bitcoin, would you even cash out to be able to use it?
Nathaniel Russell
Id buy a house outright for 300k, spend 50k on a new car, money for kids future 100k, 50k back into crypto, the rest in the bank.
Dominic Reed
No dude Buffett actually eats like a kid. McDicks every single day for breakfast. Here's a direct quote from him about coke: >No, Buffett explained, “If I eat 2700 calories a day, a quarter of that is Coca-Cola. I drink at least five 12-ounce servings. I do it everyday.”
Thomas Morris
I'm 25 and already own one of the biggest gelato suppliers in the city, and am the importer and distributor of one of the biggest sunglass brand. I'm quite successful for my age, and I was justifying my possible extravagant purchase as dumb money. Dumb money = dumb purchases. But I should be more humble. I should put that money to employ more people to shoulder their family's well being. Im gonna make dumb money smart again guys. Instead of buying a yatc, I'm gonna go into riskier businesses that employ more people.
Adrian Davis
>As long as you buy the house outright and don't get a (((mortgage))). A mortgage is literally financing a liability. You are acquiring something you cannot afford and paying the (((banks))) extra money to do so.
Rich get richer, poor get poorer.
Ethan Wilson
That sounds ridiculous, I don't believe. Buffet has a lot to gain by telling a story that drinking cola is normal.
Maybe he does, idk. But you have to understand that a person at this level has everything planned down to a handshake. You think he just says random stuff on the news and endorses Mc.Donalds for free?
Logan Jenkins
Dumbass, these people are leasing the cars, not buying them
Cooper Rogers
This guy () is right. Watch the HBO documentary on Buffett.
Dominic Cook
Well, as bad as it may sound, those things are pretty much assets. Obviously if you buy a new lambo, you lose 50% of its value as soon as you drive 1km. Not worth and also the reason why literally most retards, if they ever make it, will unmake it very quickly.
A rolex however is a solid investment. A house is strong as well, especially multiple houses in different regions, either for rent or speculation. Antique cars are awesome as well. It is just important that you switch your imaginary internet cryptomoney to some real assets to secure it once in a while. It is stupid to have 300 BTC lying around if you have nothing else of value. Just make cryptomoney and transfer it into useful assets - easily set for life.
Joshua Ward
Agreed
Kayden Smith
It's not necessarily about financial intelligence. It's about being able to adapt and learn to new circumstances. Everyone with general intelligence should be able to learn the financial basics in less than a month. Once you made a fortune you shouldn't move fast but with patience. Move when you understand what you have to do and how everything works.

Well right now we all have to move at warp speed to keep up with crypto. I guess the transition once you've made it might not be as easy as some people think.
Jace Gonzalez
No worries OP. Us niggers have no money to spend and thus no potential to earn anything.
Thomas Foster
Personally, I think living in excess makes you no more than a hedonistic animal. Nothing wrong with pleasure but too much of a good thing gets boring anyways. Buying luxury items is a waste when you can invest it in something better whether it be your own wealth or humanity.
I'm on track to making 8 figs by the end of this year and after that I will devote a lot of it for philanthropy. I definitely want to start my own foundation and contribute to causes I believe in.
Having values and ideals is what separates men from beasts.
Luke Jackson

Jack Wright
... in Latin?
Today, in high society, we speak English. k is thousand, M is million and you likely speak with a decimal.
Hunter Hernandez
Whilst I think you're getting a bit buttflustered over a meme, wealth cultivation and just as important ASSET PROTECTION is a severely under discussed topic on this board IMO. As the trillions start to pour into the crypto space in the coming years you're going to find average Veeky Forumstards bags climbing from 10-500K into the 10-500MM range. EVERYONE should be researching offshore LLCs and trust law. EVERYONE should be eying off another passport. EVERYONE needs to have a plan to reduce their liability. EVERYONE needs to learn how to appear poor on paper. Then you can have a lambo, but it's just leased by a Belize LLC from a company in the Caymans. The only thing you should own is the cash in your pocket, your private crypto keys and the control of the offshore trusts that ultimately manage head up you physical asset portfolio.

>and turn your family name into royalty.
Who gives a fuck about this narcissistic shit? I saw an ad in the city the other day that said "Why have a business when you could have an Empire?"
What sort of narcissistic retard does this appeal to? Who needs a fucking empire? Why is being so much of a megalomaniacal fuckwit that you even WANT an empire considered a good thing?
The Earth is dying. Our paleolithic brains are incapable of the sort of collective action required to save our own descendants from annihilation. Who gives a flying fuck if you have an "empire" when the Earth dies? Just get a farm in the middle of fucking nowhere so you can take psychedelics in peace, and hope you die before everyone else inevitably does.
Brody Price
Something else I would like to add to OP is that the very same attitude is holding back crypto utilization in their intended usecases. Speculation is rampant in nearly every facet of crypto outside of the professional circles that actually engineer cryptotechnology.
I'm totally fine with the currencies and fund tokens etc being discussed purely in financial context, they are ACTUALLY just financial vehicles and meant to be traded and/or profited from. But we also have these same speculators and profiteers thoroughly infesting the utility projects, which are NOT intended to be currencies at all. Projects which are only held back by speculators and traders pumping and dumping, consequently killing public confidence and willingness to research the backgrounds and implications of the solutions these projects intend to bring forth.
It just makes me cringe when looking up the Slack/Telegram/Discord of tokens for dev updates and there's literally 95% price speculation, lambo dreams and salivating over moon missions. These same people then start badmouthing the projects when they are the ones that get dumped on with inane shit like "worst ICO I've had, coulda just held my ETH for mad gains". Jesus christ, I couldn't give less of a damn your profiteering bit you in the ass. Get the fuck out and let the project realize it's vision.
Can't imagine how demoralizing it must be to post updates for a community, whose only response is "lmao 10$ soon and then I'm selling everything". These people are publicly, openly declaring their abandonment of the project for a set price point. Just sad.

Jordan Moore
>muh grit >muh frugality Lmao at you poor faggots, there's a big difference between being a big spender and a fucking retard that blows all his money. It's all about planning. Invest wisely and you can do whatever the fuck you want. You have no fucking idea how the wealthiest people in the world actually live, they spend money like it's nothing because the money they have locked away makes more then they could ever spend. People like you don't get to see it because you're nowhere around to see it. Your stories mean nothing.
Only an unaware peasant hoards money for its own sake, money is simply a tool to make you happy, that's all it is. A tool. Simply use it well.
Elijah Wright
Your glorious blonde grandchildren can blame minorities all they like when the Earth is unable to create food any more. It won't save them.

Why not have an empire when you can be the immortal emperor? There's a non-zero chance that our generation will conquer mortality. At the very least we are on track to have 100+ year good quality lifespans, assuming you don't fuck up terribly along the way. Crypto is but the first step in a long journey for me. I hope some of you share my sentiment.

Don't confuse those "when Lambo??" literal retarded dimwits with weightful investors. They are just the sheep that gets milked by the big boys. However, the are the majority of idiots who spam communication channels because they hope their pocket money pulls a x100, which is still not so much in the end. In the end those people don't really matter regarding development, advancement in technology and significant price increase. Don't overestimate their influence on cryptos.

I'm not advocating hoarding wealth. I'm advocating spending it wisely. If you make $10MM a year, then it is completely acceptable to spend $500M on leisure.
I'm advocating for proper money management.
Also, you're retarded if you don't think what I said is true. Degradation begins when people become too comfy. It's why societies collapse. Once you start spending money like the Vanderbilts on Park Avenue mansions every three blocks, expensive cars, drugs, you are bound to fail. Those kids had no grit. They were born with everything handed to them on a silver platter and imploded as a result.

Lamboland isn't a thing, it's an idea.
For some lamboland is 10 Million, a yacht and a mansion.
For some lamboland is buying a 2 bedroom apartment in a nice neighbourhood outright.
For others lamboland is simply having financial security to not worry about the day to day things life has.
Christopher Perry
M stands for thousand. If you do the math, 1oMM is ten million. This is how it's written. I'm not going to simplify it for you just because you're uneducated. Using "K" as notation is simply colloquial notation.
