    In my 40s:

    • Bought a home last year, still not paid off.
    • home isn’t far from the beach but, due to the previous tsunamis, there’s not much to do there near where I live.
    • make more than 6 figures (but not in USD and not 6 figures in USD after conversion).
    • I am the chef. And the gardener.
    • Fuck tesla (I have a kei car (going somewhere with wife or buying farm supplies), motorcycle, and pedal-assist ebikes)

    On a related note, if I become super rich, one of the first things I’ll do is not buy a bigger house or a fancy car. I’ll hire a personal chef to cook healthy, delicious meals. Not having to cook everyday is a big luxury.

    Why would anyone believe any of this attainable for the average person in the best economy? A personal chef? Common, this has to be some right wing satire.

      Why are you assuming everyone who works for Apple is making bank?

      Besides, the only realistic way to achieve any of those things, beside the Tesla, is to have a rich family. Even on a six figure salary.

      Besides the Tesla, none of these are easily achievable by a non-executive working at Apple at age 33.

      P R I O R I T I E S

      Most of that list is attainable if you make good money like that person likely does… and choose to prioritize those things.

        Paid off home, and car, and servants, in your early thirties?

        Not really, no. Not unless you somehow made six figures from age 20 30

        Is that title font you used available in the latest update because I only have bold, italic, autos delete S and two tepees with a fireman climbing up and down, respectively?

          All I did was use CAPS and spaces. My client doesnt show it in a different font. I am using the latest Thunder client. I will check tesseract later.
