Hypothetical stock gains >>>> real gambling losses y'all.

Not sure why you'd be happy to blow $ when one of your other terrible ideas is to buy a house and you have no $ but $ seems extremely important to you (hypothetical money moreso).

If you were real, you would focus any extra cash on that terrible house idea.
Who needs cash when you have credit cards and keep getting more and more lines of credit? He can just charge the house.
Again, please quote where my logic suggests this. Stop making #### up about me for laughs.
I'm not laughing at all. It's really not funny.

 
You guys really have no clue about my life, so just for a minute stop casting judgment on me. If I wanted to move out, I could move out tomorrow. If I wanted to buy a new car, I could buy one tomorrow. $300 won't make or break me.

I've said from the get-go that things really get cooking when I start trading on margin; things start cooking when I can reinvest my WAG stock into other stock selections of mine. By next month, I should have $3,000 in my portfolio.

Please reserve your judgment of me and most importantly, stop making things up about me. It's annoying, I'm happy to socialize with you guys but you pervert the facts and project a life that isn't even true for myself. I'm not an idiot, I'm actually in a fairly decent spot in my life.
Love the "If I wanted to" schtick.

:lmao:

A credit card is a liability, you learn that day 1 in Accounting.
I've got a pre-approved credit card for $1,500 sitting on my desk.
So what? That means I think it's an asset? All that means is that I've got a $1,500 credit card sitting on my desk. You realize I need 4 lines of credit established for a year to get an FHA loan? You realize once I get promoted at work, I'll have an extra $900 a month compared to now? I could literally max that card out tomorrow and not worry about it, knowing that in the future I'll be making enough money to completely pay the card off in two months.

That was the point, not that I somehow thought creating additional liabilities someone creates an asset.
You will have extra to spend because you are a mooch. Not because you are some kind of financial savant. Further do you read what you post? You posted that as part of the reason you weren't worried about losing 300.00 . So you were saying, in case English is your second language, that somehow having something that will charge you interest made up for losing that 300.00. Seriously try keeping up.

We have no clue about life? Dude, we've been living it a lot longer than you. And as you said multiple times this thread We're more successful than you because we're older. And we're here giving our knowledge to you so you don't make the same mistakes we made and you respond by saying we know nothing? That's arrogance dude.

You could afford to move out? Not likely. Maybe if you're just renting a walk-in closet in the slums, but comfortably? Not at all. You gotta look past the rent. You got water, electricity, internet, gas, garbage (depending on where you live) bills you gotta pay as well. You'd get some renter's insurance if you were smart, so you probably won't. Then you gotta eat, go down to the laundromat to do laundry, buy all the crap you need for a house.

New car? Please. Cheapest cars are around $15k. You sell of your stock, you finance 12k. So you're probably looking at $240 per month just in payments. Now you gotta get insurance (can't stay on Mommy & daddy's forever) Surprisingly, 22 year old male pot heads are pretty high up there in the risk category. I'd be shocked if you can find anything for less than $100 a month. Realistically, you're looking at at least $140 a month.. And you now you got upkeep on the car. Oil changes, tires, brakes, Xmile checkups, tags.

Son, you'd be living pay check to paycheck, maxing out those credit cards in no time.

You should bet all your money and then you could buy two cars, if you wanted to. You could move out twice if you wanted to. Don't listen to the haters, they're just jealous of your associates degree and Walgreens job making 11.50 an hour.

 
You guys understand that I'm only 22 years old and in two-years I'm probably going to be pretty well off...? Right...? Right...? This is all a matter of time not some type of fundamental lack of logic on my part.

I make $1,600 a month:

$1,600.

25% of that goes into Walgreens Stock @ a 10% discount.

$400 x 1.1 = $440

$1,640

I pay about $200 in surefire bills each month...

$1,440.

That's how much I have leftover to buy food and piss around with...

 
You guys understand that I'm only 22 years old and in two-years I'm probably going to be pretty well off...? Right...? Right...? This is all a matter of time not some type of fundamental lack of logic on my part.
1) please define "well off"

2) please explain how you are paying for "college"

How much are you spending on going out to the bars and weed? I know you are getting your food and necessities paid for by your parents, but are they paying for your clothes and other luxuries? How long are you going to stay there?

You could win the PowerBall tomorrow and I'd still be betting against this statement.

You consider a job making $17/hour to be considered "well off"?

Do you have a car? Car insurance? An apartment? Groceries for that apartment? Electricity for that apartment?

Em, that amount of money is nothing. Nothing. And I'm not being mean. I'm telling you that $1400 is nothing when you finally enter the real world. Stop gambling. And that means on stocks as well. Or at least do this for me: Take half of your "play around" money and put it in the bank. A savings account. The rest, screw around with it all you want. But at least put half in the bank.

 
Em,

So seeing as you're about to graduate with you r associates degree, you must already be applying to four year institutions. Please enlighten us on which Universities are in the running to have you as a distinguished alum. And which are you leaning towards, if you haven't already chosen one.

 
Well, I have:

$5,934 in Student Loans from my time at Olivet.

$5,430 in Student Loans from my time at Baker.

I assume I'll end up with about $12,000 in loans from Baker College. So by the end of the year, I'll have bout $17,000 - 18,000 in Student Loans. It might be less, I haven't thoroughly ran the numbers. This is the high-end estimate. It's probably closer to $15,000 - 16,000.

At my current trajectory, I should have about $6,000 - 7,000 I my stock portfolio so that knocks the student loans down to about 10K.

However, I plan on going to a University in 2015 for my Bachelors in Business Administration. So those loans will get deferred even further. At that time, I should be either promoted at Walgreens or have found a job making at least $17.00 an hour. Which is about $35,000 a year; a number that dwarfs my current loan amounts.

All things aside, by the end of the year I should have:

$6000 - 7000 in stock (maybe more, maybe less)

$5000 - 6000 saved up (after paying my credit cards off)

If I don't have enough saved up to pay off my student loans by the end of this year, it'll be damn close to where working over the Summer of 2015 will most assuredly pay them off.

I should be well on my way to finishing my Bachelors in about 2-years. $17.00 an hour is assuming I don't find a better job than being an Assistant Manager at Walgreens.

I'm 22 and I make more than three times what you make. :shrug:

 
I think I've asked this before, but you ignored it like you have all my posts. But what do your parents think of all this? Are they supportive of you? Seems like most parents would encourage their kids to become an adult and not stay at home well into their 20's smoking weed and blowing all their money on gambling.

My guess is they feel sorry for you due to your obvious personality disorder.

No...actually, you won't be.

Because you don't seem to understand anything about money.

I fully understand that, lol. But let's break it down:

$1640

-$45 phone

-$45 insurance

$1,550

-$100 gas

$1,450

I could rent a ####ty apartment for like $550 bucks. I could split a ####ty apartment with a friend for like $300 per person.

I am actively trying to get promoted at work. I'm moving to overnights at a store closer to my home and will likely see a .75 increase in pay which equates to about an extra $120 a month. I would work a week on, a week off. The Community Leader, District Manager, and a few Store Managers really like me. They're trying to fast track me to an Assistant Manager position by next Spring.

I plan on getting the position and moving to either Florida or Chicago to finish my Bachelor's Degree.

Ive been out of my parent's house since the day I went to college.

Half of that time in college I was better off than he while paying for my own car and rent and all that.

That while going to school and working part time.

Of course...I wasn't a gambling, crap stock playing, pothead.

Good for you man, you're not me. I'm working my way up the ladder at Walgreens and getting educated in the meantime; I'll catch you at the finish line. There's not a lot of opportunity for me out here unless I want to work in a factory.

I was just thinking that at 22 I was making more than double what he is and that was in 1996 dollars.
