Same here to be honest. I wish I had $23,492 in the bank. I wouldn't be getting presidential suits and booking the room next door for my wife's friend. I'd have them both at the crib butt ass naked performing circus acts. But not everyone is a closer.
6 months worth of bills has been suggested as a decent minimum cushion, $20k is by no means an amount to brag about. With an unexpected career speed bump, that $$$ would disappear with a quickness.
Yes I'm avoiding this one. I made my point and took down personal info. The suite only cost us $150 for the night. It's all about who you know. The amenities were free too, again who you know.
And what I posted was liquid cash outside of investments. One of my investment accts is well over 100k and growing. 2nd is just under 100k should go over next year. Wife's is around 50k. I track it all in one spreadsheet like a lunatic. Future involves downsizing current house and buying something cheaper so we can get beach or mountain retreat next. When I retire I will have 2 or more places, as many as 4. None extravagant of course but I will have options.
Time to go work on the garage since it's going to need to host another car soon. I really need some car storage or a house with a bigger garage.
Have fun and don't judge a guy just because he prefers cargo shorts, Rangers t shirts, cheap tacos and cash cars for hobby cars. I grew up dirt poor and I can say my kids won't experience that unless they are stupid.
I actually enjoy Laser's car posts. Good on him for turning things around in short order. I hope he is having as much fun as possible. The hostility towards his posts is largely misdirected jealousy. Anyone can do it.
