I can't agree with you more on the point about young financial influencers almost inevitably hiding the wealth they came from.
A friend of mine comes from money, not F-you money, but money that allows a then 20-something and her husband to buy a 5 bedroom house in a nice suburb of Denver for all-cash and then start buying other homes as an investment. A little while ago she accidentally left her purse on the Denver light rail with $4000 in cash her dad gave her "just because."
She got divorced and is now exclusively looking to date other people who are interested in "investing" but has had little luck. They turn out to be creeps and/or pathological liars.
There was this one dude who did legitimately come from humble beginnings but makes his money running a database that leads predatory lenders to vulnerable folks with underwater mortgages.
Sorry man, it wasn't the database. Typically she doesn't care where the money comes from. From what she told me it was the fact that you moved from a penthouse to a lower-floor apartment and got a roommate that turned her off.
There’s this very weird conservative idea that the dearth of one income households is by choice. Almost all of my friends with kids would have a parent stay at home if they could afford it.
A SAH parent, more than a pool, a luxury car, or any other status symbol is the greatest sign of wealth to me now.
Having a trad-wife around does sound pretty sick though. Just get a secret vasectomy and you get all the upside of a clean, well run household and elaborate home cooked meals without the downside of 10 kids.
Vince, not to go all comic nerd on you butttttt…. :pushes up glasses, checks wedgie-proof pre-scored underwear, takes hit off of inhaler: It’s likely that RDJ will fulfill the role that Kang would have taken to set up Secret Wars, a Marvel crossover that reset the comics universe and will be used to integrate the Fantastic Four, the X-Men, and the Spider-verse into the MCU proper.
Though I'm sure I'm getting duped by some other lifestyle scam, the idea of living in the country gives me hives, so I can view them with some objectivity. I remember someone pointing out Nara Smith, whose face you'd recognize even if you don't recognize the name, has a $10k stove in her kitchen.
Yeah, farming is all fun and games until you have to actually make money at it without having 6 million dollars in start up funding to buy a quarter section.
I can't believe Vince didn't highlight and talk about this part of the article, "The children appear to look after each other quite well too — there are so many that they seem to have become an almost self-sustaining entity. Still, Daniel says, Neeleman sometimes gets so ill from exhaustion that she can’t get out of bed for a week."
There’s a real sinister, fashy undertone to these trad influencers. Let’s just say there aren’t a whole lot of people who have rhythm or religious services on Saturday in the bunch.
The most upsetting part of that article was that the wife sometimes has to take to her bed for a week out of sheer exhaustion! YOU'VE GOT MONEY, HIRE THE POOR WOMAN SOME HELP.

So yeah, great people all around.
I should have never told her about my database.

That sounds awfully close to F-you money :-)
Is Mark Wahlberg still praying for the pardon from his Attempted Murder conviction?

"Mark Wahlberg, dudes who urge us to “stay prayed up” in between massive doses of protein and exhortations to stop jacking off."
As a man's man I macro dose protein AND jack off. Your move, Wahlberg.

I think about this tweet every time I see these people.

Thank you for the recipe! I'll be trying it out this week
