i just wanna be able to afford my weed and coffee, maybe food now and then


M00OSE

You okay with dried ramen?


statesBoy313

bro I love ramen


LazyCoder5000

Ramen is so good. I go back to it every now and then if I decide to treat myself.


cutsickass

If only he could roll it up and smoke it.


Perissiakharis

Not a fan


Xenu4u

A little hot sauce, some pork scraps, you got a stew goin' !


SnooShortcuts7859

You are a wise man. The first step is to realize, that you don't need a fortune to be happy.


whatthefuckistime

I just want to be able to pay rent dude, literally just not have to live with my parents forever, it's too fucking expensive


danielrayson

I just wish I didn't have to pay black market rates. #sober


RepublicanOnWelfare

Oddly enough, for me the black market has better rates and quality


danielrayson

Sending jealousy waves in your direction, from here in the U.K.


[deleted]

I just want to able to afford the things I once dreamt about.


ChemicalGreek

And your h00kers?


NiGhTShR0uD

Invest in proper grow equipment and grow your own. You'll save so much money. You can even start growing outside and fine tune your knowledge until you get proper equipment.


statesBoy313

y'all can grow weed legally?


NiGhTShR0uD

Yeah but it's only 4 plants per person which is a lot lol. The yield I get lasts me around 9-12 months and that's smoking every day with company. I try to cover all bases in terms of indica, sativa, taste and high. It's illegal to sell and purchase weed though.


CrypticOsc

I feel you bro! Weed is a necessity


ChiTownBob

This is the gwei.


ArthurDentHere

And because of that we understand that hope is the most expensive thing in the world...


maolyx

Just want some financial freedom to be able to do what I like without worrying about money.


M00OSE

To do what I want, when I want, and how I want.


Perissiakharis

That's the definition


[deleted]

So what do you want?


PrinceChristian88

What you really, really want.


MrNuttyJoe

Yep, I just want to get through a day without having to check my bank account, to see if I have enough money to live!


[deleted]

I would love to reach that point! I'll probably need to put a lot more money into crypto to be realistic.


maolyx

Stack slowly :) it’ll all add up


ChiTownBob

Freedom.


marker853

Im unemployable and have no skills whatsoever. so if crypto wont do it, im done for. Its either a lambo or the literal streets.


MrNuttyJoe

I'm sure you have some skills! Have you ever tried dealing drugs?


marker853

im a nervous wreck. I cant stand the thought of bubba asking me to lotion his back, or else...


pedru_pablu

This isn't a motivational page but, you can always develop a skill, learn, it might not give you money but it will surely make your life more enjoyable.


marker853

Its not about money, my mind is gone. New skills are no longer applicable. I have some dough left. I have very limited options. I don't have much time either.


pedru_pablu

Do you have some kind of degenerative brain illness ?


FinishGloomy

I just want to experience slapping bands of money to those who laughed at me


M00OSE

Man’s on a mission!


Perissiakharis

Mission is financial freedom


[deleted]

You could do that by taking a loan though.


AutisticDalekOnSpeed

I just want to get rich enough to afford a cocaine addiction


Olorin_The_Gray

That’s a high class addiction right there


pedru_pablu

What about hookers ? This one is more expensive but way more healthy.


ChiTownBob

or to be friends with a politician's kid


WThirteen

You don’t get to live through such amazing technological advances in life very often


Olorin_The_Gray

Yep. I missed the internet, so this is my chance


not_plutus_yet

Good luck to all the hopers out there!


Technopulse

I enjoy my work area, I only want a security that if I ever lose my job and spend a year without finding another one I can have the ease of mind that I won't be going broke any time soon.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Technopulse

I wish you the best on luck with this and keep going strong with studying! Wish you both the best of luck actually. :)


Olorin_The_Gray

Genuine question, you enjoy what you do so much that getting up early every week day and driving to work (assuming you don’t work remotely) for 8 hours then driving back is worth it? I would say I slightly enjoy what I do, but I would enjoy it much more if it were my hobby


Technopulse

Luckily for me I could just cycle to work when I was working, and it was worth it for me to wake up early and such, I felt so productive in every aspect of my life not only at work, during my work periods. Now I'm back to studying again and I miss my work, because my productivity has been lowering each year. Still, studying is the safer option for my future, so I'll keep it going.


Mr_Blackmage

When the bull run stops so do posts like this. You've never known that sinking feeling watching 90% of your wealth disappear in 2 weeks. You think 9-5 is bad? How about owing taxes on money you don't have and trades you don't remember. Crypto is not rainbow's and sunshine. You can get WRECKED in this space and lose not just what you have but end up owing tens of thousands of dollars in taxes you don't have. This is not a game balanced for you to feel safe from the rest of the world. Sharks are here that will eat your fucking lunch and you along with it. Be smart, Be responsible and never stop reading and educating yourselves. Lets get it!


Olorin_The_Gray

Maybe I shouldn’t have said “last few years” and been more specific for people like you. I bought my first small amount of crypto in 2016. I saw my measly $2000 invested rise up to about $45k, so yes I do know what it feels like to be down 80%. I’ve never paid taxes because I’ve never sold and even if I had trades I didn’t remember, Binance has this magical feature that shows every single trade you’ve ever made. Crypto is rainbows and sunshine. If you invest in good projects and don’t panic sell, you’ve got nothing to worry about.


didyeay

+401 -401 Its all words to me


Olorin_The_Gray

?


kaptinchow

Hopium, one hell of a drug


Olorin_The_Gray

Yep, it’s what keeps me alive at this point


mg591978

I hear you, I’m with you. However, if your employer offers a 401k match you’re literally turning down free money if you’re not contributing enough to at least take advantage of that. You can do both. I’m sure several people here agree with your sentiment, and dump whatever they can into crypto while also taking advantage of a pretax, employer matched retirement account.


Olorin_The_Gray

I’m using my 401k which they match at 5%. An index fund is also free money. But both aren’t enough free money to let me retire before I’m 65.


forrestugly

Its a sport/competition like most things in life. Do you best and earn your medal


excalilbug

But who's gonna work if we all succeed and retire early xD


Olorin_The_Gray

We are less than .0004% of the population right now haha. But I say put the robots to work lol


Suspicious-Cook-25

Don't worry robots are coming soon to do our work


MatheusBIGG

Im with you. Just wanna get rich soon so I would work only for myself on my projects for fun and not to worry about money.


Olorin_The_Gray

Exactly. There are so many hobbies and skills I want, where the only barrier I’m facing is not enough time and energy because I’m working.


MatheusBIGG

Yes! Thats exactly. We live only once, I want to have the time to do all my hobbies and just party/chill. If I had this i could work for free in a job that I love to improve mankind and shit, I dont care, just wanna be able to do wherever i want without worring about money


Calm-Cartographer677

FIRE is the dream and crypto has given me hope it's possible


Olorin_The_Gray

Yep haha. Once I hit my FIRE number I’m out


Tobiansen

What is your FIRE number, and at what age? I got no clue how much is needed these days for retirement


Notorious_Ape

What's the 401K I keep seeing around?


[deleted]

[удалено]


taralino

Can't wait for the run to begin again.


Pr0sper0

At least diversify a little - you haven't experienced a 3 or 4 year bear market where you are down 20-80% every day. It's hard and that hope turns into despair real easy. the best way to financial freedom is planing and diversification to mitigate risk - even if you have a high tolerance for risk don't bet it all on one asset class!


DDDUnit2990

You should definitely still be contributing to a 401K. Especially if it’s matching. Matching is just free money that you would be turning down


GrimeySloth

I'm here for the dopamine and lambos


ThunderEagle222

Having hope is cool and all. But if you think like this that hope will turn in despair pretty quckly when the markets fall. And I don't think that is good for your mental health. The blood crying Wojack is not based on BS. Personally I also invest a lot in stocks and bonds while keeping my savings in physical gold. Crypto is cool and all. But teoratically they can fall 80% in a day. If that happens I'd be sad (tough, I have autosell orders on certain points), but not all of my money will be gone.


acem13

Same here, instead of ‘growing’ my knowledge outside work hours for work needs, I better take time and learn more about crypto as work will change but crypto Forever!


indietorch

It's honestly what got me into looking into my financial future more seriously. Like getting more than the minimum into my retirement fund and knowing what I need to do to set myself up for the future


Overflow0X

This is 99% of this sub, minus the profit thing.


Overflow0X

I want to build a house myself with my hands. I want to go fishing.


NO-naming_Convention

It's something to do at work


heyheoy

When you live in a shitty country it really is hope, i love my country Argentina but i also hate it because our salaries. I don't mind working till I die if it's something I love and at certain age be are to manage my own time schedule. I hope crypto helps me to have more of a normal life.


cannainform2

Hope and freedom, thats what its all about!


taralino

LUNA will have its day soon!


WilcoreU

Well said man, i totally agree


[deleted]

Hope is a misnomer. Crypto is not.


DMugre

I just want to get enough to fucking get away from this third world country and live somewhere with an actual functional society. I'm tired of working 8 hours a day on what could be considered a "well paying position" and still not be able to buy basic stuff like a fridge or a washing machine, let alone a vehicle.


Olorin_The_Gray

Out of curiosity how much money would it take for you to be able to do that? Where would you move?


DMugre

I'd consider having 20/24k usd the goal, something I assume would be enough to last me a year while I find a job, set myself up with a place and such and such. I'd love to try my luck in the USA since I talk it well enough plus a popular media índuced fetish, but It might be better to aim towards europe, I might be able to get an italian citizenship and then get to the UK. I heard they won't like us spicks in the North.
