    Don’t even bother with that guy. He’s so right, that you said things you didn’t. He knows you better than you know yourself. Goal posts moving so far they need a new zip code.

    And if you made 3million a year you’d make the same complaint.

    The issue is your personal offense that life requires money. You’re welcome to go become Amish if you want. But I don’t think you’ll make that choice.

      not sure why the downvotes, seriously…anyone who legitimately worries about “preserving their capital” (ie. investment) has already won the game, compared to the overwhelming majority of the world.

      most people would be lucky to buy/pay off one home, then pass it onto their kids while covering the inheritance taxes.

        because most lemmy people are well-off IT types whose identity is ‘if i’m not a billionaire i’m struggling’
