Why do you people have $300k to start with?  That’s like.. my end state goal.  I’d pay off my house and everything else is gravy.  If I had 2.1 million dollars, I’d retire right now and live the rest of my life in unspeakable ecstasy.

And yet, I’m sure this guy is going to end up as loss porn in a year or whatever.

Why, God?  WHY!?

That's what you say, but once you hit 300k you will want 2m.  Once you hit 2m, you will want 10m so you can get Bank XYZ Private Wealth Management and have client meetings with hot interns with your RM

As someone who started out grinding a normal job and now making an absolutely stupid amount of money (from my day job, I am still just as regarded as you and lose it in the markets)... You will always find reasons to want more and more.
