My next goal is to save and invest $50,000 by the end of this year. Need to play catch up on retirement funds.

canfidel · 2018-02-16T14:49:26+00:00

The only way from here on is forward. Well done you!

I saw a study somewhere that 5 years after a divorce, the ex-husband is typically in better shape financially than the ex-wife. Not every couple, obviously, but on average.

Congratulations, this takes determination, proves that without a parasite who increasingly consumes you can easily achieve such goals. Now, instead of setting negative goals to reach zero, it's time to set positive goals and reach wealth and retire early. I personally day trade crypto though not every day and usually for less then a hour, but there are many ways to earn wealth.

I can use some help. How did you do that?

RadicalAsceticMonk · 2018-02-16T16:14:44+00:00

Nice. That's responsible usage of credit. Congrats!

TryDoingSomethingNew · 2018-02-16T16:00:28+00:00

Good for you! I just paid off my first of 2 cards yesterday (I sold an expensive item on eBay to help, then a large portion of my paycheck).

One more balance paid off and I'll be debt-free. That's my goal.

And learn about alt crypto coin mining and other ways to make money online.

I'm sure it's greatly possible because I'm not married and not like so many people who think I'm "supposed to be" paying a huge mortgage etc. I live below my means.

Thermotastic42 · 2018-02-16T16:24:16+00:00

I'm happy to not have a credit card or a car payment. The mortgage on my home is the only debt i have.

2018-02-16T15:42:11+00:00

Congrats- What you make is yours! You already have to give your wealth away to the govt, you don't have to split it 3 ways and get nothing in return.

Anthlenv · 2018-02-16T15:45:54+00:00

I’m trying to do the same myself! Out of curiosity how much did you try to set aside each month? I don’t make as much as you I think but I’m around 18k in debt.

2QuietDude · 2018-02-16T15:50:53+00:00

Nice job and no easy task

Justintruedopee · 2018-02-16T16:04:54+00:00

Im in debt too since i put everything on crypto. Waiting for a new ath lol

MGTOWstic · 2018-02-16T16:19:17+00:00

This data is BEAUTIFUL!

SkyloRen66 · 2018-02-16T16:21:23+00:00

Good job!

Watchingcluturefade · 2018-02-16T19:04:00+00:00

Congratu-fucking-lations! Well done man, seriously, well done.

This is a major accomplishment that too many people do not respect and understand what you had to do to get to that spot. Well done on the self control and the will to enact your goal and get yourself to where you are.

I have no doubt that you will be able to save $50k now, with that work ethic nothing is impossible.

If you do not own a house I would recommend buying something as your next goal, whether or not real estate is a good investment as to investment purposes is another conversation.

But buying my house has ended up being the best long term investment ever because of the mere fact that rent keeps going up and up and up and up. My house now is worth 200k more than it was when I bought it, still have a mortgage of $2,600 but if you look up rentals around my area, my same house is renting for about $4,000 now.

Again, buying rental properties is hard work, can be or can't be a good investment, but that is another conversation. Owning the house you live in will save you what could be millions over the years.

But I digress.....

CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR ACHIEVEMENT!!!!!

iBatheInYourTears · 2018-02-16T16:24:47+00:00

Awesome man, awesome! I know eliminating debt, and more specifically credit card debt is the best feeling. Now you can focus on building a huge savings and investing portfolio.

Johnny_Wins · 2018-02-16T16:40:53+00:00

Congratulations. Discipline above all else.

GetrichonIMP · 2018-02-16T17:12:55+00:00

I did this with 30k this year on my visa. Was buying crypto with it and paid it off in december :D

NewLife_2017 · 2018-02-16T18:58:26+00:00

Awesome man!

I have knocked off a massive amount already since 9/1 and will only have my car and house by April 1. This is with a sluggish start too!

Its amazing when you really look at what you need vs. want, plus cut out all the BS with women, how much extra you can really have! I will actually have money for new experiences instead of "stuff"

TheAccidentOf85 · 2018-02-16T19:04:20+00:00

If you are young you can afford to take risk. For me personally in my 20s I’d be even more stocks but I have a bigger risk appetite.

Afab67 · 2018-02-16T20:40:42+00:00

Check you out! Well done!

kaczan3 · 2018-02-16T21:12:59+00:00

This look like the graph of how much time I spend with women.

mgtowliberdade · 2018-02-16T22:24:59+00:00

If you did that here, Brazil, this debt would be essentially unpayable, unless you got a loan.

Interest for rolling over payments on credit cards is 333% on average, in a 2.75% inflation country.

thetrueassman · 2018-02-16T23:03:39+00:00

Awesome congrats man

thathikingguy · 2018-02-17T00:16:41+00:00

_Insidious_ · 2018-02-17T09:20:10+00:00

Biggest part of it is constraining/controlling the spending. You can go broke (or be stuck living "hand to mouth") no matter WHAT your income.

It depends... I do actually see "brand new" as being a leas potentially "justifiable" (and logical/rational) in certain specific scenarios:

Only in that specific context... and not in any way that you haven't already admitted yourself!

;=)

BOOYAH!
