Always poor in my whole life. Have to support 7 people and single income. I’ve been working my ass off for the past 10 years, still my bank balance is $10K. Some stupid stocks worth 30K. Feels like a loser sometimes, nothing at all otherwise. No light or signs of getting rich in future. Was thinking to buy a iphone for past 8 years, couldn’t. Feels it’s way expensive. TC: $150K
7 people?
He is an Indian. It’s common when an oldest brother supports everyone in the family.
That’s BS
Wealth in life is not always about dollar sign. If you are supporting family that wealth too.
You're an hero. Keep it up, you're gonna find a way to make it happen
Bay Area? You should be making a lot more than 150k if you want to support 7 people. Or, tell some of those people that you can’t support them anymore. Are they taking advantage of you, thinking you’re some kind of Silicon Valley tech millionaire? If they genuinely care about you, they will understand if you can’t support them anymore.
On H1. When i ask for more TC i got nothing more than rejections.
H1 shouldn’t affect TC so much. Try changing companies if you can.
are you at least able to save some towards retirement?
Yea. 30K. But no hopes getting that money. Cause todays life expectancies are very low. If you are lucky you will cross 60
that’s a bit of a grim outlook. maybe you could talk to someone. like a therapist. I even see a therapist.
I bow to you. You are a hero. But you are also an idiot. That is because you posted your pain here, in a forum that is known to be emotionally retrdd, full of trolls, full of people who claim they are poor because they Earn only 300k a year and are just 20 something. People who never had to wait for the father to bring the bread home before any one could eat anything. Showing war wounds in such places will only bring you grief.
Just wanted to let it go anonymously
Sure, do it, as long as you are able to accept the hurt ppl are gonna give u. I have no respect for this forum. I have seen posts where someone is contemplating suicide and ppl are mocking him/her. I have seen posts where someone is sharing how their mother died and the us insurance didn't help, and ppl have mocked them and made fun.
^maybe in India but in most developed countries it’s in the low 80s. You’re not gonna live that long though if you’re always this pessimistic
You can buy one off craigslist cheap :). You’re also helping 7 people. Good for you. Life is expensive though. Sucks
Given an example of iphone. There are a lot of things i want to buy for myself and I couldn’t, just because i feel im poor, not worth that etc
Don’t think! Just buy it bro. How come you have to support many for 10 years
