Can send u my feet and you give me moneySpecific questions only. All my replies will be actionable.
Do you have a job? If yeah which one?Because you're doing it the default way.
Hourly wage and salary = linear.
Wealth = non-linear.
Linear systems lose to nonlinear systems over long horizons.
Compounding edge, speed of capital deployment, cost minimisation, high earnings and tax relocation mean everything.
It's not a trope. Make your money work for you. Investing early may seem futile because you don't see capital growth fast enough. But early, tax efficient investing will make you wealthy and stable in your future.
Try to automate as many things as you can. 1) in work, you get your time back, and you learn coding/technical skils. 2) Your investment contributions (if they're automated every week or month, you'll never miss an investment.
Compounding is the 8th wonder of the world. You want to keep a 3-6 month bursary/emergency fund, land a high earning job, keep expenses super low, and rapidly deploy capital back into investments. Just the SPX, NDX, MSCI World.. whatever. If you're a UScel. You can buy the VOO for 0.03% expense per year.
Then think about your biggest expenses. House/accommodation.. Living at home? Great, save and invest. Renting? Stay frugal, use the excess to invest.
Weigh up the pros and cons of saving for a downpayment and paying a mortgage, versus renting. Renting may seem like it's throwing money into the ether; and it is if you have a low wage. So career max and go after a higher paying job like your life depends on it. Once you have that, the rental expense will be absorbed in your income and will be MANAGEABLE.
The problem is you don't own assets. Stocks are the best ROE assets. So stack-em. Diversify in the NASDAQ and/or S&P500 and you'll be fine. Regular contribution is what counts to most. As much as you can afford.
Don't spend huge money recklessly. Goes without saying. Try to stop going out clubbing if you're past the age of like 23. You're coping and wasting more money than you care to admit.
You may have have predators in your loop.
- Employers extracting surplus.
- Rent, debt, interest, fees, subscriptions, lifestyle creep.
- Parents / peers telling you what “responsible” looks like (house, car, safe job) because that keeps you predictable, not rich.
You don’t realise how rigged it actually is.
- r > g: return on capital (r) tends to beat wage growth (g) over time. That means “people who already have capital” mathematically pull away from “people selling time,” even if the second group works harder. This is observed globally, not theory.
- So if you start with nothing and play the wage game straight, you’re in a race you are supposed to lose.
All these words to tell us what everybody already knows "just invest in the sp500 long term and stop buying lattes and paying for Netflix to get rich brah!", you didn't even talk about leverage and how to use debt in your favor which is basically a prerequisite to build any substantial amount of wealth in todays ageBecause you're doing it the default way.

hes a prof traderDo you have a job? If yeah which one?
you pretty much are diversified if you're in an index. the thread is about long term capital compounding. why the fuck would you use leverage?? that's an illusion..All these words to tell us what everybody already knows "just invest in the sp500 long term and stop buying lattes and paying for Netflix to get rich brah!", you didn't even talk about leverage and how to use debt in your favor which is basically a prerequisite to build any substantial amount of wealth in todays age
Also cage specifically at this line "Diversify in the NASDAQ and/or S&P500 and you'll be fine" chatgpt did you dirty lol, but if anyone actually thinks that just by being invested in either of these indexes you are diversified they should pick up a dictionary and look up the definition of the word.
I’m gonna do the exact opposite of what you say and get richyou pretty much are diversified if you're in an index. the thread is about long term capital compounding. why the fuck would you use leverage?? that's an illusion..
also chatgpt wrote none of this. if you want to diversify further buy MSCI world or managed futures... This is for youngcels. The SPX is still a diversified portfolio, maybe not geographically, but it works and has great returns compared to single stock portfolios.

Go with whatever you want to do long term. Leave a company if your upside is capped. Just aim to scale your salary and become more skilful. As I said, 9-5 working is just linear pay. Inflation and opportunity cost eat into your wealth growth potential over time.A job on the medical specialty of my choice in a country with worse salary and taxes or a specialty that's maybe not my first choice + longer residency in a country with higher salaries and lower taxes (Switzerland)?
An issue is you’re all just zoomers wanting to get rich quick. This thread is more for those who realise they’ll have to work and put in effort in their life
I just don't know.Possibility of economy collapsing in the next 10-15 years?
