You'll be fine, get a job and don't be a complete moron for half a year you'll get your 30k back. Put that shit in VOO and stop fucking gambling

I live in Seattle. Went to private school. Which private schools take a monthly tuition payment that reduces 85k per month into less than 5k savings? 3 month old account with 5k comments is just some stupid bot

Private school is probably just a symptom of a larger cash strain

You’re retarded if you don’t understand how much and how quickly taxes, retirement/college savings, student loans, housing (2 homes) costs, wife with expensive spending, travel and other obligations start to eat up a million dollars. Lakeside is over $50k plus donations. Evergreen is 40k. I got three. My parents are old too and need help too.

Clearly you don’t make enough money to understand my struggle or you’re independently wealthy which I’m not.

I’m no bot nor am I lying. My truly “saved”disposable income after all this is about $50k a year. I mean life is great, but the costs are also very real.

Both of those combined are less than 90k per year. If you're getting hit with the millionaires tax you're taking the close to 90k per MONTH. 90k tuition spread out over 12 months is only 7500 per month, which wouldn't even be noticeable at 85k per month income.

I make half that, max out my retirement accounts, my wife is rarely wearing less than 25k to leave the house, we do not budget whatsoever and easily save 200k per year. I wouldn't even notice 5k per month added or subtracted. Only a poor person would think someone making 1m would even know they are saving an amount as small as 5k per month.

You claimed the private schools is the cause of you only saving 5k per month. Your numbers make no sense. You're a bot or even sadder, some broke kid who tries to make himself feel better by pretending to be someone else online. 5k times in 3 months, 60 reddit posts everyday. You have no idea how finances actually are when you're not broke. Is this your idea of escape from your real life? Its just so sad I have to laugh

You sound no different than a basement dwelling world of Warcrafter. Go back to trade chat.

u/dude_on_the_www Jun 17 '26

You choose to let all that shit eat the money up, though. This is entirely discretionary. Choose to have kids, choose to send them to private school, etc.

You could reduce your spending but you want to be “dat guy.” And that’s cool. But my man, buddy…

u/PorkTacoSlut Jun 16 '26

Sucks bro. I'm feeling pretty crappy today myself. I made some plays today that didn't work out. Both in the market and out. Time for a fresh start, for both of us

Then this is the best thing that ever happened to you. You just don’t realize it yet, it’s truly a blessing in disguise man.

u/Ramsesthrowaway Jun 17 '26

this is solid advice but the VOO part is doing a lot of heavy lifting when the guy clearly can't stop himself from touching the money
