Do you think Hamas has the right to keep hostages?
I used to learn everything I could about things like real estate investing and project ideas to create more monthly income aside from my 9-5. Now i just shove money into a brokerage and play video games. anyone had a similr experiencr and snapped out of it? tc 180k (low COL area) edit: wife also makes 6 figures so theres extra incentive to be lazy.
U need a higher goal...
OP, I am also in same boat. I think a lot about these stuff but too lazy to do. DM me and we can exchange notes about our procastination stories and ways to overcome
Are you in Indy?

Hop on meth
Wait until you get the wake-up call where the equity markets lose more than 50% in a week, like they did in 2001 and 2008
And then what? Do nothing for a few years and see that your positions are way higher before the crash?

If you can utilize the time being happy with your family instead of being 'lazy', all that TC talk by others don't matter man. Life is not all about TC as these guys make out to be. What matters more is even at 180k you're probably saving a good amount of money while being able to enjoy life. Live in the present instead of blindly chasing money and advice from strangers on Blind.
That’s one of the things I actually appreciate about the Bay; you’re surrounded by hungry, ambitious people who are pushing themselves to the limits to see how much they can accomplish. It’s hard to get complacent when you see everyone around you moving up and getting shit done. If I was back in the Midwest, I doubt I’d have the same level of drive that I do living out here. Not that one lifestyle is better than the other, it’s just a matter of personal preference.
Not everyone in the bay is like that. I know lots of folks who are making good tc and just coasting.

A bit too early to relax given your tc. I’d be like you if making a million past ten years
My tc will never be super high but it’s about the same as 400k in SF, and my wife makes 6 figures so we do really well. But you’re right I don’t want to relax.... just can’t seem to snap out of it.
I don’t believe in cost of living adjustments. You either make 400k or not. If you have enough to retire then relax, otherwise it’s unwise
