>>20983135>>20983144Klaus is close, except my mom died 21 years ago and I just loaned my dad 35k.
Instead let me tell you a useful story about my grammy and my grampy.
Both were hard working folks with very different investment strategies. Grampy had arthritis and couldnt do much with his life, so spent much of his time trying to day trade his life savings and lost hundreds of thousands of dollars chasing precious metal moons and shit.
My grammy on the other hand, was not stricken with athritis, and worked hard up until the day she was murdered outside her home. She had a different investment strategy of investing a portion of her income with a firm she trusted, and forgetting about it entirely and living her life. When she died her portfolio was worth several millions.
I do give myself some credit though! My family wasn't really wealthy until about about ten years ago, and even then we are on the lower end of the one %. I was a kid then, and dealt with tragedies like seeing my mom wheeled out on a tarp, and came very close to ruining my life several times. But I worked hard on myself and got through all my bull shit trauma so that when the day came that I had to watch over this shit, I would be ready and not a spoiled child. I never asked my family for shit growing up, they basically forced me to go to college when I was content literally being a doomer hobo after high school. Now I am committed to growing the wealth I have and become one of the SUPER rich. Takes money to make money you know?
