Not rich, but definitely more well off. As a one off thing, bought myself a scratch ticket and almost won somewhere around $20,000. Luck almost shined on me.
Slim chance, but for my first and only scratch ticket, being only one away from winning is pretty cool in my book.
One parent had a growing business when I was super young, they brought home well into the 6 figures. However two things happened 1: the internet started getting bigger so that started to hurt their business and 2: the 2008 housing crash happened and for a business that worked with banks on mortgages (I was too young to fully understand what the business did) it was fatal. Then we were dirt poor! The family never really recovered but after many years we did manage to get on our feet, then a parent died and shit went down hill again lmao.
I could’ve grown up a rich kid, instead I grew up with a family oats pot for meals. Though I’m probably a healthier grounded human for it.
There has to be more to the story than that. Your parents probably didn’t disclose to you the other hardships they faced, whether they were self induced or not
2: the 2008 housing crash happened
My dad’s 50 year-old roofing business never fully recovered either, which is partly why I hate our government and how it works for the wealthy.
He now drives for DoorDash, at age 80, using my car. The alternative is starvation.
Well, isn’t it exciting? We may just witness a second crash! /S
But for real, it’s getting really bad again, it doesn’t seem sustainable and I honestly expected something to crack by now, but it hasn’t. The longer it gets delayed the worse it’s gonna be
There will be, no doubt.
The thing with crypto is to just add small amounts over time, so when those spikes happen you can take advantage. It’s pointless to try and time it.
My finger was hovering over the “buy” button for $10000 worth of Bitcoin when one Bitcoin cost $50.
