Whatever floats your boat. Then don't. I do not see the problem. You are concerned about what others think. I do not give a fuck. I cannot help you.
You're not providing enough information. For example, those relatives of your that you're talking about...they live on the same street, in another city, in another state or in another country ??? Do you talk to them only on the telephone or do they come by your home several times per month ??? You close to them or you actually treat them like friends ??? Remember one thing about "super competitive" people...they are not going to ask you were your income is coming from and the exception ones that do...don't tell them. Keep your mouth shut. It won't matter to them because they are still going to be "super competitive". Yet, if you're that one that's "super competitive" too...you'll probably flaunt what you have and that may be the reason why you're thinking to much about hiding your wealth after letting the secret out. Also, if they're on your spouse side of the family...don't tell them shit and tell your spouse its none of their business even if they drop by for a surprise visit and they say wow...nice house, nice car and your kids go to private school... Don't explain anything especially if they start asking questions about your wealth. People with money biggest problem is that they specifically talk about the money they have. They do not know how to keep their mouth shut. That's the best way to be in stealth mode about your wealth although its strange that you refer to it as "stealth mode fashion" as if you have a history of flaunting money. Simply, live your life the way you want and don't invite over the "super competitive" family members. Easy to do if they don't live in the same city, state or country as you. A lot harder to do if they live on the same street or within a 30 minute driving distance. Yet, if they don't even live in the same city as you do...you're wasting too much time & energy with this. P.S. Never quit your job especially during a Pandemic and especially if its the source of your healthcare benefits and insurance policy. You're doing ok the way things are with your income source...don't fuck it up...leave it as is. It's a Pandemic and shit can change very quickly for you in a bad way the very next day. wrbtrader
A few minutes of trading makes more than corporate jobs - could you give an example of 2 or 3 trades you've taken recently that have led to big gains? Not including obvious setups like JKS. Thanks .. As far as the thread topic, always own what you are. So yes you've been blessed to be in a position, you can spend it in investments as well as important causes like sustainable agriculture and ecological preservation. But don't waste it over petty family squabbles and putting on a facade of "struggling". Stealth wealth people I know drive cars like Genesis G90, don't advertise vacations and experiences on social media but are open about them when discussing in person, and aren't making decisions based on pleasing others. Life is a lifestyle and lifestyle is the kind of person you are, so now that you're in a position to live the best version of yourself, do so! To challenge youreslf intellectually, do so in a new environment and you can still trade/manage business!
I spent years studying, in part to avoid the real world of work. I couldn't hide anymore after I hit my mid 30s so I decided to work just enough to finance my relocation to other parts of the world. My college and childhood friends thought I was crazy and knew I was poor, but my wealth were my life experiences. After living in nearly a dozen countries and in my early 40s I finally settled down, got married, had a child, a home and long term employment. Within 5 years I was making a 6 figure income and to the astonishment of all those close to me, I became respectable. Of course, by then, most of my friends who'd stayed put had accumulated; nice houses, nice cars, nice vacations... I was definitely the catch up friend who'd spent the life of a cicada, while they deserved their ant life's hard work. Then we moved again, away from the US craziness and Trump's world. And months later covid hit, and my employment chances withered. Out of desperation, I decided to start trading 10% of the proceeds from the sale of our Bay Area home, truly dissatisfied with the 6-10% returns I was offered. When I managed 100% returns within a week, I decided to push the envelope and invest more, then all, into the market and to date I'm still close to 100% return. In 8 short months I've become wealthier than I ever expected and have no reasons to hide it from anyone any more than I had reasons to hide that I barely had any money for years. It is was it is. I've learned over the years not to set expectations, which are the first step to disappointment. This year is almost over, let's see what next year brings us. I'm going to continue to be who I am regardless of the circumstances.
Boohoo.... my life is hard. I make more money in half an hour than my bitchy sister does in a year. What should I do?
glad you moved out of the usa stay there. you're a lucky privileged fool who hit the real estate lotto and now the trading lotto. BUT you are going to wake up one day and realize you don't know how you made your wealth and the market has changed. you're what we call a bull market genius.....
Fully cognizant of this. My executive wife is appalled at how much money I made is such a short time. I tell her not to quit her job because next year could be very different!
I want to clarify what I meant. I make more trading in a day(which can be as short as a few minutes to a few hours) than what most corporate jobs would make in a day or month. Since I'm a daytrader I think in terms of daily profits. But I can see one day it happening where it can be more than some jobs in a year. Maybe not a c-level exec job. haha. I'm NOT a cars guy. So no way for people to tell.
