Just met up with a colleague who is worth 10M now due to his wife’s 20k investment in Tesla and his 10k investment in a friends startup. Two investments and they’re set. Meanwhile I grind away on PowerPoint number 10000000 😂

My husband comes from the land of the have and the have nots. He has a number of friends who are 2-3 generation oil/land money and every single one of them is having it out with their kin on their inheritance. It’s much different if you earn it yourself, you’re not jaded and coming from a place of privilege. Now, with that said your buddy and his wife earned it so I’m jealous AF. They’re making me feel like a real schmuck too!

You gotta remind us of our pitiful state?

I hear you. Hubby sold his Tesla and other stock that exploded in value when my office needed some money. We could really have used this for our retirement. I feel really bad about it
