so you have a lot of people going to flemings, managing their spend, and squeezing their way out of there at $100 a person or so, but if you gave them the frontal lobes of an Olive Gardener, they'd end up dropping $500 easily.

It’s 180 to make 440k and ball out with your 44k singlings at a Outback.

Of course, if you still need to live in some high COL city like LA, NYC, SF, have expensive tastes, or don't know a thing about investments, my solution probably won't work for you.

at $444K you could pay off a mortgage in 1 year in a normal to low tax state

The biggest ding imo is that people on the internet and irl are like, "wow cowgod sucks imho," but people hate me less in general and I have a vast circle of earnest friends.

First of all what danger are you in irl. I am not being confronted with these individuals irl. And if you live in MFH or one of the other 0.5 walkable cirites these people are everywhere regardless, you can't escape it. I don't understand the "keeping away from proles" thesis at all. If Seth Rich made $777k he would still be mugged by youths or CIA spooks or whatever because he was a pedestrian in our Nation's Capital.

Literally the more ignominious part of my income is that it has derailed my Posting Career, internet poasters judge me by the contents of my paycheques and not the merits of the (Clique) Laws which I have Curated.

You're surrounded with proles anyway regardless. Anyone who lives in MFH. If you go to a restaurant/retail establishment/car wash/car dealership/leave the house you are dealing with proles, it can't be avoided.

Look at the content of this fora - "omg the fear," "omg I want to die" - proles are spending their incomes on light beer and partying while internet posters are posting their incomes and not spending them.

If I made 444K, I would regularly see $750-1000 chicks who are not attainable by regular joes

KNOWLEDGE

Of course, if you have the traditional wife, kids, a $700k mortgage, and the extent of your investment knowledge is an index fund, this probably won't work for you.

(http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=4622744&forum_id=2#40908193)

The part that you have failed to include is that 44k is only enough when accompanied by close-to-zero alienated labor for anyone else.

In order to achieve that level of financial security, it can be helpful to pull 444k for a few years. As long as you can escape with a soul.
