I went into Anaphylactic shock @12:30 after a wasp sting on my ear. My epipen and 911 saved me. Went to hospital. After 2 bags of saline I was discharged. I have never been this close to death. I'm the richest MF on the planet right now.

A friend of mine gave me his Epi pen right before he died. He couldn’t speak but he was adamant that I take it.

I sold 300k shares of SLI at just under $12 average in 2021 and haven't spent a dime (other than taxes). Just re-invested it. Nothing life changing except a little more security and earlier early retirement if I choose.

Yes. Rich, to me, is $20 million at my age (early 60’s).

Why in the world would you keep that much in checking? Keep 6 months of expenses liquid and invest the rest. You are leaving a lot of $ on the table.

I bought back in at $6.75 during Blue Orca short attack. Stopped the drop with a $250k buy to shove it up their arse. Thought I got a BARGAIN.

the richest poster don't post on the OT and they never post about their wealth. I know of at least 2 that are worth over $100 million. That's rich. One may be worth close to a $billion or more when the his dad and aunt kick the bucket unless they give a shite ton to charity.

Yes but there are levels to this shite. I’m currently level 4.


Level 1. Paycheck-to-paycheck (<$10k): You are conscious of every dollar you spend. This includes people with crippling debt.

Level 2. Grocery freedom ($10k–$100k): You can buy what you want at the grocery store without worrying about your finances.

Level 3. Restaurant freedom ($100k–$1M): You can eat what you want at restaurants.

Level 4. Travel freedom ($1M–$10M): You travel when and where you want.

Level 5. House freedom ($10M–$100M): You can afford your dream home with little impact on your overall finances.

Level 6. Impact freedom ($100M+): You can use money to have a profound impact on the lives of others (e.g., buy businesses, engage in large-scale philanthropy, etc.)."

This bracket needs to be broken down a little. I'm at the lower end. Maybe I'm cheap but I don't feel like I can afford the home of my dreams. I dream big. There's a big arse difference between $10million and $20 million. $20 million don't get you a private jet. $100 million does.

I keep that much in cash. Am I full of shite? He may be truthful. It's the OT.
