Yo, TechLead, but can you teach me to code my life? You always teaching people to program computers, but what about their lives? We are essentially computers, and yet you will not acknowledge this truth. I'm just trolling, peace out.

Me too. Minimalism is lit

I have the same lifestyle, also as a multi-millionaire. However, I do spend money on surround sound and television, etc., to watch films with the quality of a movie theater.

Lmao

Multi-millionaire*

What's the point of being a millionaire if you don't spend on luxuries and all you do is save money all the time

Just because there are opportunities in the market doesn’t mean you should go in blindly. To understand the potential factors that contribute to your financial growth, I'll advise you to seek the help of a professional.

Bidet

I bought chinese toilet paper on line ebay it was a photo. I didnt know toilet paper came in more than one size! Mine was $15. 10 rolls. Shipping price only paper was free. Yea! Lol the paper had 5mn on each roll. I wondered how chinese must not use much wiping paper. No, ideas. The 10 rolls fit in a shoebox lid. :(

Search on Bidet toilet seats. Toilet paper can (and often does) leave little brownish balls. I am a Gentleman and few situations are more challenging than "doing it doggy style" with a woman and suddenly noticing a whiff of bowel, only to look down and see the dreaded brown balls. Medical fact: if a person does not overeat, gets plenty of fiber, water, and some exercise.... it sort of plops out with little to no odor and almost no residue, one square is enough.

I agree, imagine the time he must have taken to be at this level.

it depends on the environment, it depends what kind of 'partner' you're with, and it depends on what lifestyle you have (e.g. fashion designer instead of a programmer). expanding your perspectives, son.

buy a vr headset. no need to travel anymore

@@samsun01 If you are watching TechLead then you don't want to be a fashion designer. Am I right?

​@@casperr8349 the world of 'fashion' is not as one dimensional as what you read or watch on the internet, whether documentaries or 'investigative' pieces or from bloggers and vloggers. A lot of times, these 'internet content' is really outsiders trying to get in. Imran Amed from "Business of Fashion" is a good example of an outsider looking in from fashion in the beginning. He's a lot different now since 10 years ago because he's sort of an 'insider' now, having marinated some time in the fashion world. Just like in tech, a lot of things you can't just find in 'documentation' or manuals or reading reddit or stackoverflow (prior to that was "experts exchange" which actually had a lot of good contributions by tech people). Yes true you can solve a small subset of a problem on stack overflow but you still need to rely on your own problem solving and organisation skills to build up an entire maintainable system. A lot of nuances which you can't explain in articles or documentaries. You got to be immersed in fashion world to understand it. It's beyond "design patterns" in tech where you can catalogue it. But even "design patterns" in tech decay rapidly because things just keep changing and 'internet content' can't keep up. The word "design patterns" in tech is actually a borrowed term from architecture. Lots of cross pollination going on which you need to really be observing and thinking thoughtfully about on your own. In fashion, a lot of concepts are very similar to tech. Refactoring your code. Making your code easy to maintain or scale up. Efficiency in your code to fashion is how well your fabric quality is, how skilled you cut the fabric, etc. It's very technical in fabrics, more so than software. Software can be copied and paste, which is how programmers code for the past 2 decades (yes, it's not a new thing). "Fashion" fabric you can't do that. Yes "Fast fashion" is a lot different. Techlead has started a lot of businesses and succeeded. KZfaq venture is just one of his money making businesses. Don't forget that it has nothing to do with "tech". I was just talking about fabric, not even how fashion houses are really just the frontend side, a 'brand'. The factories and manufacturers are probably all Italian owned, making all the clothes -> the backend. Fashion designer is not the same as a stylist. It's similar to a software engineer to a programmer. Fashion is also about psychology. How you see yourself in this world. A mechanism to project your image into the real world. Offline. Online is trash. Tip of the ice berg, son. But the point is you got to think "outside" and hope you're lucky enough to delve outside of the tech world. Tech is easy, son.

@@casperr8349 sorry to answer your question, i've worked long enough in the tech industry to realise it's not worth the money to sacrifice your entire life in a small box staring at a screen with no emotions. yes, real world is complicated and stuff, but that's what life is about. i want to use tech to enhance my own life, but not be a slave to tech (as a programmer). i can't be a fashion designer because it takes talent and a certain mindset (similar to the criteria to be a tech person). but i'm a student of fashion and i try to enhance my life with fashion...through "TRIAL AND ERROR" through EXPERIMENTATION. No shortcuts.

Definitely agree.

I'm curious, then what are you saving for? Doesn't it become a mean in itself?

@@OceansoulP the more i save, the more interest my savings can kick off in the future, if and when i retire.

its more about economical freedom and being free, owning alot of material stuff just give you headache and become restricted if you like to travel and move places. best place to have money is on stocks and crypto

@@OceansoulP...I feel good seeing the amount of $$ in my accounts & don't feel the need to waste it on foolishness

Not always. I wouldn't call it logical to try to reconcile with a woman who phonies a police report to have me arrested in front of our child.

Real talk. That’s the biggest irony of ‘making it’

My theory is that we only desire these things, these outward displays of wealth, because we don't believe we are worthy; we seek validation from others - NOT because we are attention whores - but because we honestly are not yet convinced of our worth, our successfulness. We need to hear it from others - people who are impartial observers; people. THEN, when we DO become successful, we begin to actually believe our positive assessments of ourselves, of our worthiness. So we don't need external validation like we did in the past.

You certainly don't become a millionaire by crazy spending. Don't confuse a self-made millionaire to the one that inherited it all. They are quite the opposite.

@@parahumanoid I agree with you. It would be so strange and out of a character for millionaire to not make money from what he/she is doing. People think if you have several millions of dollars you can no longer worry about money. Are they serious? Even if we forget that 1-2 millions of dollars is a price of ok looking LA house :D You can be multimillionaire today, but how old are you? 60? 65? 75? Is your house is completely yours? Are you completely alone? (or you have at least 1-2 people you are deeply care about?) Do you want to live on 20 thousands dollars a year or less for the rest of your life? If one of the answers is no - several millions of dollars is not enough if you want to continue living in U.S. or any other first world country. Unless you are one of those thing that I mentioned above (alone, live in third world country, probably in a van, consumer debt free, don't splurge money etc. etc. etc.) Hundreds of thousands and even up to several millions in your account only means that you will not immediately die if you stop working.

@@parahumanoid Correct. Fidelity Investments had a study that 88% of millionaires are self made.

5 scary motel stories (as a millionaire)

Good guy to listen to when you have to restructure.... was worried about him not having magic in his life- then I saw his dog !

I made billions on the stocks on GTA 5, no cheats, just saving and loading, which is a huge advantage obviously over real life but I didn't use cheat codes.

Exactly. I have the body of brad pitt in fightclub. I worked hard for it, but now any clothes look good on me, and my confidence means clothing doesnt even matter anyway. The women are throwing themselves at me and i love it 😊

@@FIyingDumpling Like mine. I HAVE my wife and kids. AND I'm worth over a million. AND I keep people safe from the most dangerous psychiatric patients in my State of Work. If I didn't have wife or kids,I would live in a condo or 3 bedroom house. As it is, I live on a 2 acre property with citrus farms all around, next to a resaca cut off the Rio Grande, with a 40 foot saltwater swimming pool, 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms. But my mortgage is only $260k, and it cost me $368k. I don't eat sushi, though the ocean is only 30 minutes away (Laguna Madre). Tradeoffs.

Speak for yourself 😂

You only keep the memories

Daily Yoga sessons

The most important difference is the financial independence. If you are FI, you have a lot more freedom to choose how you live your life and use your time. Instead of going to a job you may not be passionate about, you can pursue something more meaningful. This is by far the most important aspect. I discuss these in more detail in my video on FIRE.

The "becoming" part takes time and changes a person inside out. Same with studying for and getting a higher​ degree or getting into peak shape. It's the journey that is WAY more important than the final destination. Just my observation but the people who embark on the FIRE journey are some of the most level headed and calm people around. Once you have enough money for your functional lifestyle and your retirement covered, the additional money really makes very little sense.

@@WW-to5rc I tend to lean towards trying to build the lifestyle you want sooner than later, but might stick it out for 5-10 years to get the independence. It's a very difficult trade off! I'm lucky I don't have to make it (I enjoy software engineering).

Cope

@@main_stream_media_is_a_joke Totally agree with that. The process is much more important than the outcome. The outcome is usually a byproduct of the process. However, with a jackpot lottery win, there isn’t much of a process. You buy a ticket, you choose your numbers, and you sit there and hope they come up. If they do, you are in dreamland. The ecstasy and euphoria of a big win has you jumping with joy. You have a honeymoon period afterwards as well where you are on cloud nine. But over time, you acclimatise, you become desensitised to your situation, and things gradually revert back to normal on a psychological level - and maybe even on a financial level if you’ve decided to be incredibly lavish. This is why you have happy poor people and depressed rich people. Relativity is everything.

That's false security, unless your property has been fully paid up.

@@kp2718 Over 40 years, $60 per month adds up to ~300k assuming the same return as the S&P 500 for the past 40 years. This is more than most people have saved for their retirement. For a 20-25 year old, it only takes coming up with a couple hundred per month to likely be a millionaire by retirement. Every little bit counts.

You could try using your current situation to your advantage. Start with something simple, like "7 things I stopped buying (as a broke)". KZfaq saw stranger careers than that. There's always a way out, man.
