And at that point, your investments would be making $100k+ a year by themselves just staying invested in the market.
Invest it into what stocks?

That's the literal million dollar question.

Do your research, make a best guess, you'll either retire by 40 or waste a bunch of money you'd have only spent on booze and frivolous chit off Amazon anyway.

Lob it all into AT&T now you get a 7% dividend + however much it goes up (honestly value it at 50, 60% increase there).

According to this thread my options are stocks or g4p lol

But tbh, I do have options to land a higher paying, better office job. I'm just feeling not good about the whole office job thing right now

It's possible I just work for a chitty company

find a side hustle.

Flipping gym equipment was a big one not long ago but more people have caught on.

I do know guys that are doing really well flipping appliances - often not doing more than picking them up, putting a coat of paint on them, and then selling them for $50-100 profit in a manner of days

That's not a bad idea flipping things if you want to hustle

I want to work smart though, not hard. I only want to work hard about chit I like doing

Going back to 40 at least, there's a 25% upside. I personally value it at around 50, with the dividend, lack of debt, market share and move into streaming. If it was valued like other fking stocks you're probably looking at over 100.

OP I really feel for you, srs.

Some may call it whining, but it's only whining if you continue to complain without taking action. You are undervalued, and underpaid in your current position, we've established that is a fact. Now is the time to search for an employer that appreciates your talents. Polish that resume and start shot gunning out applications right now.

We can't do anything for you aside from offer suggestions and encouragement which is more than what I've gotten when dealing with 9-5 wagie hell.

Thanks brother. You're a good man srs

I think you're right, it is time to start shooting out applications again. There are definitely better roles available

Best of luck with your endeavors too. We're all gonna make it brah. On r/c
