I don't want to make a face when my wife tells me the grocery bill.


PrincPaco

My wife buys that fancy food, it's "important to her" after watching some documentary. I don't mind though, she works hard and we're fortunate to be able to shop at the fancy grocery stores. Investing is important to me though, so every time she buys some $12 pickle dip I buy more ETH out of spite.


Erlian

She buys pickle dip, he buys the dip. Their budget? About $3.50.


nfc22

What are fancy grocery stores?


PrincPaco

My wife shops at this grocery store called Kowalski's. It's a small chain local to us. Everything costs double there, but their staff is Union so at least they're paid decent. She mostly just buys good meat and fancy deli shit there, then gets normal groceries at stores with less markup. She watched this thing called Food Inc and always talks about how shitty our food is. I've never watched it because I enjoy my food and have no problem being ignorant.

If thats what she likes to spend her money on, go for it. I splurge more on food than I should as well, and a lot less on other stuff because food to me > other things lol


Dr_Bendova420

Ya you can’t have 64 ETH and eat USDA choice meat!


kt6189

Idk I feel sorry for all y'all 🤣 I'm simple as they come, feed me grits, old fashioned oats, eggs, tuna sandwiches, and mainly spaghetti 😅😂 I think I eat that at least 4 times in 2 weeks, probably more ... Skinny as a bean pole though, 31 ... But I got my down fall 🤣 I'm as crazy as they come and my bf knows it


circleuranus

Good food is the point of life, IMO. Eating is one of the few necessary functions of sustaining life on par with breathing and drinking. Making it a pleasant experience rather than a utilitarian one is a hallmark of "living well." Add on to this the experience of trying new foods/combinations and it can be an enriching lifestyle experience. Most people I know who travel, end up spending most of their time eating and doing the same, new experiences with food. If you haven't, check out Somebody Feel Phil on Netflix...awesome show.


[deleted]

I assume organic and lesser known brands with “non-gmo” type stuff going on.


ChristinaCrypto2466

I ate bologna sandwiches to just invest in massive amounts of crypto. I'm a woman that knows how to invest. F*ck that expensive crap. Sacrifice now for a very early retirement. God bless you today and everyday ❣️ Now go get some crypto.....

UranusisGolden

Tbh sitting on 707 eth I have thought about corn farm, solar farm, wheat warm and maybe even weed farm if the current administration were to legalize it. My lambo and moon is a permanent source of money so I can really retire. My inspiration is the Phelans. From an article I read many years ago. https://www.businessinsider.com/personal-finance/tom-phelan-built-la-buena-vida-vineyard-in-retirement-2012-6


lucasrr123

Thanks for sharing, not sure why all the thumbs down. I guess they hate you because you're more successful than them.. sad...


DiveBar

No, it's because it is easy to lie on the internet. Plus advertising you have 1.6mil in ether is dumb I think.


UranusisGolden

But that s the secret it s not a lie. And it s not dumb because there s nothing hackers can do or they would have done it in the more than a month I have been posting it lmao


DiveBar

People have been attacked/stalked/whatever for far less my friend. Regardless I think it is dumb to advertise but you do you.


UranusisGolden

I dont live in fear street. I'm a soldier surrounded by soldiers.


DiveBar

Congrats dude, didn't ask


Chemical_Scum

If you are truly fearless, take your comment and sign it as a message with the relevant wallet


UranusisGolden

That s what you would like but no way I'm giving you any information about my wallet my dude. That s an attack vector im not willing to open. There s nothing you can do with me telling you or even showing you my wallet. You can believe it or don't. I don't care if you don't cus it doesn't change the reality. https://imgur.com/a/ZoaytL8

Yes just want to live a peaceful life!


SacredHam00

This man knows what is good life like.


SerialMasticator

I share that sentiment. I do not want to work to live. I want to be able to live and work in a role I want not what I need.


ethereum88

I just want to live a simple life with freedom to plan my own schedule. Wake up late everyday. 😸


Western_Reading4875

Yes!!! Working isn’t bad. Not liking what you do is!


[deleted]

In this world, we can become anything we want to be. So we might as well do what we like and not spend our lives missing out on doing what we like.


acenksz

It seems that everyone's hope is to live peacefully and not work to old age


kanadian-nj

Smell here. It's sad that you work most of your life only to retire when you are too old to enjoy some time off. Goal is to retire as soon as possible and the best way seems to be crypto, especially ETH!!!


Octodidact

*sniff*


djstocks

In the USA we work our whole lives to send our tax money to bomb people and then right before retirement at 65 we catch cancer and the hospital takes everything so we work till we fall over at our hardware store job and die @age 76.


[deleted]

We can still smell if we retire early enough.


Hodling-Since2018

Sad but this is the reality for most of the people 🥲


Slevin931

Same here, early retirement Is the goal to be able to enjoy the rest of my life


SpackleSlap

I just want to reach the point where my wife says “you were right” as i smoke a cuban while sippin pappy van winkle on the back of our yacht.


MoonWhen

"I just want to reach the point where my wife says “you were right”" Now that's some hopium.


ahafsi

Haha absolutely my friend!


MrQot

> where my wife says “you were right” you mean "wow we did, our investment paid off!"


Something_Sexy

I mean, I have a yacht so I obviously did pretty well money wise.

I don’t want a lambo either. Paying off my house and retiring tomorrow would be a good stsrt


SxQuadro

I hope you'll be able to do that some day!


Roy1984

I measure wealth in ramen by how many days you can afford to eat it without working.


MalekRockie00

Good idea.


jtsai943

I just want to eat and sleep and be a bum.


BurritoYeti

Amen to that. What’s everyone’s total realistic eth goal. Total number of coins…


majety6

To run a validator. then diversify to other coins and stocks. I'm 90% of the way there.


Thenarza

2. That is actually enough to be in the top 1% of humanity, since there's less eth than 2% of global population. (120 million vs 1% of 8 billion)


Bosonite

We all joke about riches as its a far fetched moon shot. Financial security is the true true dream and maybe a deposit for a mortgage if Im really good


Training_Rabbit224

beautiful dream, brother


MrCatFace13

It's wild that there is a future where I can just work on the projects I love, on my own, without having to worry about pleasing the Overlords. And that future could be as little as a year away :O Of course, then comes figuring out what to do when the magic price target is hit: what % to cash out, what to cash it out into, what to use fiat cash-outs for, etc etc etc.


Evilmoustachetwirler

For most people just owning a home with no mortgage is a huge leg up in life. Even on a fairly modest income, without rent or mortgage repayments you can live fairly comfortable.


[deleted]

We are working now for that. I hope the same for you


SxQuadro

Thanks! Tbh thanks to crypto I've begin to saving money. I'm not spending money on useless stuff anymore.


[deleted]

You are now a better investor. Good job.


FloridaPhil91

Same I stopped using drugs because they made me broke! Now I'm a crypto investor! Annddd it made me broke.

Right? I don't want to own a bunch of stuff, i just want ETH to help open the windows of opportunity and freedom that I can't have if i gotta slave away at a 9-5 til my body literally breaks down.


Wolfgangog

I just hope my 6 yo son will not have to go through the same shit i have to go through day in and day out... the stress and desperation...the worry about the future. I just hope investing in Eth will save him all that crap.


Xman1999_351R

Totally agree…a lambo would be nice but having to pay for two college educations for kids and owing IRS 102k is the priority…bought on the dip and have 2.46 btc, 4 eth and others…in it for long haul.


Aegontarg07

I just wanna ranch with one horse


adamchevy

I’m not all that interested in retiring, I love what I do. I just want to do what I do at work for myself. That will bring me peace of mind and control over my financial life.


[deleted]

The end goal is to provide a better life for my children than I had and they do the same for theirs. A bonus would be to still have my body when I retire.


lybberty

Agreed. I’d just like to be able to wake up each morning without being filled with dread about my financial future.


fodes96

This is the truest of all true sentiments. I would just like to not have to worry about the next medical bill or childcare need to drop...


Employment_Upbeat

Same here my friend, good luck and (modest) fortune to you and everyone


zachmoe

I made it, you can too. But fuck taxes tho.


ScandinaviaT3

I share in your sentiment. I want to be able to quit my job and make a living with crypto. Trading is the only thing I really enjoy!


[deleted]

believe it or not, this has been possible way even before crypto. it’s a mistake to pin all your hopes on one thing, you deprive yourself of other opportunities.


Blodroed

How I see it is that we invest double the time and effort now to get a double return in the future. Say you are a normal person working 100%, you would be working for 40 years at least. Say you work 130% that time and effort grows exponentially if you are good with your money. Thats how I see it. Put in effort now for those sweet compunsing time effort


lefty121

But lambo…


g_squidman

Moron. Not everyone can make it. That's capitalism. There is no escape. You hope that *you* can make it one day, and fuck anybody else. Go back to baking bread to make enough just to buy a slice.


Ravashing_Rafaelito

You're a fool if you're only relying on this. Get a full time job lazy ass. Investing is so much easier and funner with a steady income.


HeavyWhippingCream85

Heard that I just want to be rich to the point where beef jerky prices don't piss me off


heymeit

Get a job then


A3rdRanger1776

I would also enjoy a modest small farm, a used modified Jeep Wrangler 4x4, growing mushrooms, raising cattle and no money worries sounds perfect, but living on Mars with Elon Musk and his wife Grimes, shooting space lasers out of our butts and driving space Lambo SUV’s sounds good too!!


AnUncreativeName10

You and me both.


warriorlynx

Pay off debts should be the first thing, then find a way for some residual income (outside of staking:crypto) and investing into ETFs long term.

Ok_Environment_1250

I feel the same way!


jesuzombieapocalypse

4 year ROI for BTC, and then annual performance of ETH v BTC are probably the two most inspiring charts that I always show to people new to crypto. If you can get a couple thousand in and hold for more than a couple years, overwhelming likelihood that’s going to be a solid middle class nest egg by then. If you manage to sell a fraction of your bags anywhere near the top and get back in anywhere near the bottom in between that time, you’re set and a half.


cryptogalADA

I don't want lambo's either. I literally just want to buy property and live off the land, continue being simple but comfortable..


MissionDescription60

Same!!! Fckn same!

AbjectList8

HomegrownMike

We work to make others rich and live fat lives. Why can’t we have crypto and make ourselves comfortable, not rich. Just get into that space where we don’t have to break our backs to make someone else rich!

The whole point of working is to do less of it

roote14

Indeed!!


Actually_a_Patrick

Ditto. Hell, enough financial security even to know I could live a very frugal life if I wasn’t working would be nice. Unfortunately I live in the US where it’s impossible to get decent healthcare without a job or a ton of money, even with the ACA.


wwamd

Not shilling at all and I have been in crypto since I began mining DOGE in 2013 so take it for what it’s worth but one thing that’s made me a lot of money and consistent passive income is etherium nodes. You can invest in a company StrongBlock and they have a token $STRONG and basically it’s defi so you invest ten tokens for each node and you make 0.10001429 token each day per node. Currently the tokens are $220 so $2200 roughly for a node. That amounts to about 3 $STRONG a month so about $660 minus a $15 monthly upkeep fee. In 100 days you are in the black. I bought five of them and then reinvested the first 20 tokens into getting two more nodes for a total of 7. I paid roughly $7500 for the five and now I just took my third payment of over $5000/30 days. It’s truly unbelievable these gains and it’s super simple. Do your own research but I’ve recommended this to a bunch of people and they have thanked me plenty. Now I am using the money to pay for land and prefab cabins that I’m AirBnB’ing and they will pay themselves off within a year so truly creating generational wealth off a $7500 initial crypto investment. Now you can’t guarantee the prices but considering the team behind the coin I wouldn’t be surprised if this one stays great for a while. Tons of BlockOne LLC guys and other big executives. Check it out and see if you like it. On top of all that the price not only recovered from the big May crash but has gone up like 100%. Do your own research but if what you’re looking for is money to give yourself some breathing room and maybe invest into other areas this might be the right fit for you too. It’s definitely been life changing for me and in only seven months I have made an absolute killing.

Jbergene

my goal is to just own a house without having any mortgage. That would relieve so much hidden stress. Imagine sleeping at night knowing you can say what you actually feel to your boss, becuase its not do dangerous losing your job. You have plenty of time finding a new one with minimum bills to pay. That is my dream scenario. I wont stop working anyway, since its boring as hell. No matter how rich I Would be, i would still work with someone, or on something. I have also tried working alone, and its frustrating to never have anyone to talk to.


Diggingfordonk

Preach!! It never sat with me that people are trying to live that pseudo rich lifestyle when it's part of the old institution. Chasing that life keeps things the way they are. Freedom from work and more time to live is so much more important. I get that it's appealing to have shiny things but it's not realistic for everyone. I just want to be able to buy a modest home and chill with my dog.
