You'll have to give some context. What did hella mean? How many months of your current spend rate do you have in the bank?

    First off, the pay for a tenured mail carrier is plenty for me, and I feel like I have a full life.

    I take martial arts classes, yoga classes, have nice apartment, eat what I want, have a decent car, etc.

    I really don’t want anything, except ridiculous things no one can afford, like sure I’d be up for buying a Cathedral and converting it to a $20m house.

    ——

    Liquid 3 years (savings plus liquid investments). 2 years in IRA. Set to inherit somewhere between 20-40 years worth.

    I just have to work to make ends meet, let my investments mature, and eventually inherit.

    It feels weird because I love my parents, but it’s something to plan around nonetheless.

I continue a tech career making 200k+ a year and you try to sell me making 100k or less probably for the next 20 years as a win? Nah I love money to much and hella money is like 10m+ where I would chose something that in the next decades would make me so much less. Also no trajectory in career path. I'm happy it works for you but I wouldn't like that. On the other hand I have my big corpo wageslave job and my little own company and almost no free time sadly. I hope to have made enough money and can retire early at some point until then I grind.

    I’m on track to retire at 45. I don’t have to do a job I hate until then.

    I walk around all the time anyway, to any destination within the city. I have a car and still do this.

    To each their own.
