Give some of it to poor people. Being disabled in this country sucks.

Rivalarrival ,

Much easier to give it to some rich people. They've got money disposal services all over the place.

Use the money to lobby politicans to pass social assistance for the disabled

PunnyName , (edited )

And give some money to the disabled, since they need it faster than that.

Buy a house and stop mooching off your parents?

Nah uh

Guest_User ,

Why do you assume they live with their parents?

Blackmist ,

Because they have spare money, and only mentioned spending money on frivolous shit, rather than food, rent and bills.

It goes without saying. If he was in my country I would assume he is paid 2500€ a month and only pays 500$ for rent so there is plenty left

I bought a house and my parents moved back in with me.

pixeltree ,

There's an incredible gap between having 10's of thousands of dollars from a couple years of working a job with low expenses and a habit of not spending money and buying a fucking house lol

I've been in this situation.

Get married to a single mom and you'll be broke again in less than a year and in debt the next. That's the quickest way to lose all of your money.

Ugh plz don't

Single family cruise costs as much as everything OP purchased put together.

Didn't go the single mom route, but a wife and kids takes care of the free time and money problem.

holy hell. I'll never afford

We are sunsetting Google House in accordance with our wider goal of shutting down everything. You will be evicted on march 2nd, 2024 and all buildings will be demolished between march 31 and june 1st. Thank you for being with us for this project!

Why god?

We launched Google House 7 years ago as an attempt to make shareholders think we are still capable of doing something useful. As we focus on making new short-lived products to perpetuate this lie, we no longer have the resources to maintain our rent collection system.

What will you do with the land?

We didn't think this far but the current plan is to leave them as gravel sanctuaries.

frunch ,

Gravel sanctuaries 🤣

But you said I purchased the house? I paid $300,000 for the house and now you say you can take it back???

Gambling is a great wallet drainer 👍

Keep gambling. The secret is that the house always wins it back eventually.

Gacha games are better. At least you get something 👍👍

intensely_human ,

Got?

DoomBot5 ,

Vacations, where every trip costs like a mid range gaming pc.

Mongostein ,

Well, life keeps kicking me in the balls and I currently need about $5000 to get back on track thanks.

I've broken my PC, Phone, and chair and have been trying to save money to get them fixed for the last 4 months and every time I get extra money something sets me back.

Most recently? Covid. Gotta use saved money to survive while not getting paid. Things are real fuckin neato.

intensely_human ,

Somebody’s got all my devices hacked and I don’t have the money to replace them. I’ll implement some basic security shit but I really think they’ve got my shit rooted.

Unfortunately, this same jackass uses his billions to subtly influence every company I have to route me into shit work and make me fail. For example right now I work retail, and the sequences of customers that show up and waste my time is too non-random to believe. Again and again, the moment one non-buying customer finally relents and let’s me go, the next one shows up within five seconds.

So I can’t get ahead to get the money to get my devices un-hacked. It sucks.

A long time ago, before he made the money, I remember we had a debate about whether a billionaire could prevent an ordinary person from succeeding. I argued that they couldn’t, that our society is a free one and that a rich person targeting a poor person couldn’t result in that poor person being unable to succeed.

Now he’s showing me wrong. And I don’t think he’s going to let up.

Invest it until you can quit job. The old people call that retiring.

DudeImMacGyver ,

Retiring isn't real, it's just an old legend...

Did you guys hear something?

  • Save an emergency fund of 6-12 months of expenses. You never know when the rug will get pulled out from under you.
  • Pay off all debts.
  • Save at least 15% of income into retirement accounts (not counting any matches).
  • Give to charity or random internet persons.
  • Buy a house.
  • Pay it off.
  • Max all retirement accounts, invest in some mutual funds, give more.
spujb ,

consider also investing in your community. find local organizations or mutual aid networks, help friends out and in general find ways to build other people up so that they can be there for you if you ever fall on hard times.
