age - 36 married Tc: 180k net worth: 250k clearly not the AMA you see in blind.
Are you happy?
I guess so. We are trying to have a baby.
When my first kid was born I discovered a whole new meaning in my life. I'd never recommend having kids to solve problems... but I always wanted kids and I'm up to 3 munchkins and it's impossible to put into words how good it's been for me.
Where did you spend the most?
I wanted to do an AMA to see what kind of questions people would ask to person who hasn’t done much well
You have done well for yourself, I am sure. Don't compare yourself to all the brags and TC entitled folks here. They may have had all the good education, online resources, communities to help them be where they are. With little information about your journey and priorities, no one has the right to say you haven't done well. Also, ask all those folks you envy how happy in life they really are before you jump to conclusions. It's a Friday evening, so cheer up. You are doing great and it will get better if you keep at it. Cheers 🍻
You are doing better than 90% of America so don’t stress about it.
No i am not stressed. I see posts about people earning their first million before 30 and it makes me where i went wrong.
You really don’t know if it’s true what ppl say online.
Which city?
Austin
are you a SWE ?
SRE
How much would you need to be earning to feel like you're on track?
I have no math for that. Have lived life without thinking about TC, but now i am starting to realize if i made a mistake.
I don't think you made a mistake. 180 is fine. I'm your same age and I'm at about the same spot. We're way ahead of everyone else our age outside of the big tech cos.
Why are bragging?
I am not - clearly i haven’t achieved enough
You're living in a bubble. You're in the top 1% of the world and you think you don't have enough.
