[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] Just a reminder that wealth and income can be two very different things. We have never had a large income, but we were very lucky in picking out stocks decades ago and we are now wealthy. It took a while for those stocks to increase in value, so in our 30s we only had a few million. We are not retired, but it's true that we don't take jobs to get a paycheck. We work on what we find interesting. [/quote] Picking stocks and crypto is just winning lotteries. Presumably you made big bets so had a safety net if they went south — for most of us the income we make goes to student loans and mortgages and daycare, and 401k which doesn’t let you buy individual stocks. [/quote]
