Shoes, coffee, music, sporting events, clothes, phones/tech etc...it's not the cup it's the premise.

 

Coffee has been this weird Boogeyman since the Great Recession.

Can't afford rent? StOp BuYiNg COfFeE

It's weird how the whole world went with this hive mind thought that people's budgets are ruined because of coffee.

Well everybody is making their choices during their life, so it is up to him. In my opinion, I don't like to live like him in the future. I'm now 18 y.o. and I am always looking for how to make money as a teenager option on the internet. I am trying to find a good option for myself and earn them more money as possible to get a good bank and invest in something like cryptocurrency/stocks to don't have financial problems in the future. If you got good advice for me to, feel free to share your opinion.

Looking at today's landscape, cryptocurrency is not an investment.  It's more of a gamble/guessing game as there is nothing to explain price fluctuations other than being able to get other people to pay you.

Stocks, funds, or other company-based securities fluctuate based on profit/loss/margin/dividend/other measurable items that quantify why one stock is worth what it is/isn't vs another.

You're young, so stocks/funds in the market is the best long-term play for you to make maximum long-term money with a minimum level of risk compared to new-fangled things like crypto where only a few people are making coin.

This is true.

The one thing that I would tell myself (financially) looking back, was start investing in the market early and often, don't worry about the ups and downs, you aren't going to pull it out for 20-40 years.

I'd hate to guess how much more money I'd be worth, but it's probably North of 1/2 million more had I invested regularly and without much restraint.

Max out your 401.  If you don't have one, get a SEPP.  In addition try to throw as much toward a Roth IRA as possible and don't look at it but a couple times per year.

If you start at 18 years old with $0 investments to start....      if you aren't able to do anything else, this is what you could end up with: 

if you can afford to put $100 a month away with an annualized rate of return of 7%....

you'll have $400,000 by the time you're 65.    (making it $200/m increases this to $800k)

And that's without increasing your monthly contribution, or having a diversified portfolio where that % could be larger than 7%... or having a 401(k) with matching contributions from your employer.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
