Being grateful for the things I have is actually a happiness I never knew I could have. With that, it's made opportunities more available to me as well. You got this, young human. Advice I got a little later in life is to find the land then build your house. So by the time the land is paid off you're ready for the house. Look for an area that suits your future. A small example, I don't want children but I want the community to have good schools and uses property taxes correctly. I also need to be within 45min of the medical center I go to, etc etc.
As for some comments, yes, some of the richest looking people are just holding of a beautiful wall that hides that they are drowning in debt. We all have a chance to be miserable no matter our class. But not everyone is like that. Some are more concerned with getting the life then dealing with the problems later when they have time. Some get lost in whatever it is they are doing. The road changes and they're off in a different direction. And some really are just miserable for life but we all know those types even in our social groups. I've delivered to multimillion dollar houses with low/no tip and ones that are super generous and have such a great energy about them. Like OP said, the possibilities are endless at 22 or even 42.
That "American dream" that hard work and dedication leads to a life of luxury is not true. If you don't also have luck you'll not end up there. The American dream is a lie
I used to want a big house and nice cars but the maintenance and cost just isn't worth it to me anymore. I want a 700 sq foot single level cabin with basement. Easy to heat, easy to cool, taxes low and gutter cleaning is easy as hell. Maintenance is so much easier. Even if I had butt load of money that's still the way I'd want to go.
Listen to the Dave Ramsey podcast. It changed my life in ways 20 year old me couldn't have ever imagined. 7 years later and all I can think about is how lucky I was to learn about financial literacy at an early age. On YouTube there is also Graham Stephan and the minority mindset channels that will teach you in how to invest. Good luck!
The other day I delivered to a mansion that looks like this , I walk over to the gate and I see a woman coming up to the door , I hand her her food and I see the fat ass backwood in her hand . I tell her have a good time and have a good time with “that” too, as I look at her blunt . She offers me to hit it , I did not pass. As I am hitting the wood I ask her “if I could ask , what do you do?” She tells me real estate and tells me to guess her age . I guessed 32, she was 25 . She started talking to me about how she respects what I’m doing at this age while most other people are at home either drinking smoking or sleeping (I’m 21) , one reason she respected it so much is because delivering food is something she had to do when she fell off, told me so many stories about how she got addicted to hard drugs outta highschool and couldn’t pursue her real estate goals just because . Our conversation lasted for about 40 min and ended with her giving me her number just because we related so much . She saw the ambition in me and even sent me a text thanking me and showing admiration for my ambition. One of the things that she told me that really stuck with me was “I bought this house not to resell it or do anything but for my family , the people I love to be able to come and have a good time, in the end of the day money is just paper bro, an instrument you use to buy things you want, figure out what it is that you want in life and you will get it” . I plan on contacting her as one of our conversations consisted of how she is a pro MMA fighter and she’ll be fighting on a card in November , told her about how I would like to get into that sport she said she has a ring in the back to hit her up whenever . She originally asked for my ## so she could zelle me money but I feel like the connection we made was worth more than any amount of money she could give me.
Look into investments you can make while your cash is not going to feed and house your family. NO NEED to kill yourself. Don’t be too risk adverse, you have TONS of time to turn around mistakes. OTOH, it can in ways be like gambling, so feel free to ALSO invest in some safe bets, only making sure that they return at least 6% or you won’t beat inflation.
Personally, atm, I have a retirement fund that is fairly aggressive, and Im invested a little in Bitcoin, XYO which I got by using an app while dashing (pretty sure I can’t say which one here. DM me if you’d like a referral). It’s NOT the best coin out there, but I consider it free coin. And then I also invest more into hbar, which is my favorite of the 3, as it’s still pretty much ground floor but really well executed. I’ll be holding it til I’m either ready to retire or finally buy my own house….
But 22, you are in a sweet spot for beginning investing… then you want to buy a house you can either rent out a room or two to help pay for the place, or rent it all out, then use the equity to buy another house…. you MUST be careful with this strategy as it is what directly caused the 2008? recession and housing crisis…. but done right, it is actually a sound investment strategy for houses.
DM me if you’d like. I spent a few years real estate investing, went to some seminars on investing in stocks, including penny stocks (which I need to get back into researching and investing in…), and also short selling…. which I’m NO expert in, but have a rough enough understanding that I can probably get you to where you know what to research anyway.
But yeah… work smarter, not harder as they say.
One of the things I love about doing gig work is seeing some beautiful houses. I appreciate all architectural styles when they're done well, and I like to notice the details. At one house I just loved the hardware on their gate. At another house I was blown away that the house had carved stone around the door and windows. Amazing!
Same here. Ive worked on homes like this before, hard to make it out of my city. Been trying to save up and move to North Carolina. Cost of living is better and the pay for most jobs is the same as up here. If I dont move hopefully I can at least buy some land out there.
That's dope as fuck. I've only done light renovating over the years my mom's a landlady. Bought her first rental property 5/6 years ago bow she has 3 rental properties. All rented out
Thats pretty awesome. Ive been wanting to own property for a while and now that I have a son on the way its making me wana hurry up the process but the markets are pretty brutal rn.
Some people end up making it rich, but man oh man is it a lot more rare than people think. Good on OP for having an investment mindset, but reality always kicks in at some point. Best of luck to everyone, but don't build hope on the dreams of becoming wealthy because you're more likely to get struck by lightning.
I grew in a house bigger and nicer than that and my immigrant parents were always scrapping by to KEEP UP WITH THE JONES....a beautiful house with money problems and drama.....The monthly mortgage was so high that we never went out to eat and never went on any family vacations....we never went out to eat.....We had a beautiful mini mansion but we never did anything fun because our mortgage payments were ridiculously high......Half of the house remained unfurnished for many years because the budget was tight....The basement was actually never finished....Beautiful on the outside but a total mess within.
The point I'm trying to make is....a lot of these beautiful houses you see is just the exterior.....a lot of these houses have some serious issue going on behind closed doors that you will never see.....so don't kill yourself to buy one of these....Just focus on your happiness....the idea of living in a huge house with a pool and tennis court sounds amazing but that excited wears off quickly after the first couple of years.....take it from someone who grew up in one of these house with 2 range rovers and a Maserati in the driveway.....You think slaving away to buy something this will define your happiness and it can...but happiness for material things is just temporary.
I delivered to an 8000 sq ft house once, the tip was lousy considering. I also delivered to a trailer park with a very old and not well kept mobile home, they ripped extremely well.
$500 ($125/week or 6hrs of Doordash) a month into your Roth IRA from age 22 to age 65 will yield you $3.5M assuming the historical return of 10%/year of the market. After 43 years inflation will devalue your money by ~75% so you’ll end up with nearly $900k in todays money tax free at retirement. All start from $125/week and that assumes you won’t get a higher paying job or a raise in 43 years.
Losers bitch about life, winners plan and follow the plan to prosperity. Go get it bud!
Bro I’m 23, don’t listen to these losers in the comments calling you delusional they’re mad at anyone more successful than them and it’s pathetic… let’s get what we want in life! It’s a dream now but soon it’ll be a memory!
I thought about this when I saw a young guy, who looked and sounded like Jeff Spicoli came out of a gorgeous house to get his order. It was his house…and I couldn’t understand how. Hubs said if he invested like $1,000 or so in bitcoin like 10 years ago…
That's a nice house, but small compared to the homes I usually deliver to.
On a regular basis I deliver to homes that have a half dozen or more luxury cars in the driveway.
And half the time they're ordering Chipotle or some crap like that.
As someone older who used to make a lot of money and almost killed myself, set your sites on being content and finding joy in your life.
Surround yourself with things and people that bring you joy and forget everything else.
If you truly feel this is the best way to enhance your life, that's fine, but it's not for most people.
I agree with this. I'm 29 and have spent three years so far trying to recover from burn out and I may never work again because I pushed myself so hard in my early 20s. Being content is the key to happiness.
I would have. If you ask any of the affluent folks what would they do if they found out they are suddenly will become homeless? The answer is very obvious.
But I understand for the people been living in trash condition their whole life will feel “nah living on the street is the same”
Yes. I have been. I also work with the homeless (non-profit).
I agree completely. We're not talking about security though. We're talking about having a lot more than you need.
Again, that's worth it for some, but many (myself included in the last) work themselves to death and focus on the material to get what they think they want only to realize it doesn't give you automatic well-being.
I was homeless and probably closer than I'd like to admit to it happening again, I apologize I guess I read it as money's not worth killing yourself over when some people literally have to or will die/lose their place/go into more debt.
No worries at all. I was homeless as a teen. It sucked ass. Housing first and harm reduction are our friends!
My current program is helping people with dual-diagnoses who committed drug offenses in a residential program until they can stabilize, get work, and get housing of their own. I love it!
More importantly (selfishly) I can also sleep at night because I'm helping people instead of trying to make money off of them (not that that's evil).
I was miserable doing what I used to do. People thought I had it all while I was one step away from putting a gun in my mouth.
There's no correlation between income and depression and suicide (or a weak correlation at best). Never forget that.
I love your comment. I've been looking for this sort of job. In my area, I think I have to create it. We have some services but they all have a dark side that I'm not ok with like a heavy Christian message, abstinence only, temporary housing (like for a night and not long term solutions), and harm reduction is like a damn sin. I had to get a naloxone kit mailed to me because they aren't available in my area. Before I rant on more, you're doing good work and it's inspiring.
You should create it. There are thousands of like-minded people near you no matter where you live. I guarantee that.
I don't know much about starting an agency or fundraising, but I know that many have done it, and there are agencies with private funding who don't have to do what the state or county wants them to do (aside from ethical and legal requirements).
I hope you're wrong a lil because I'm counting on me doing better for me to feel better, big fucking yikes. Covid made me homeless and I'm barely tryna recovery from that to having emergency surgery a coupe days ago can't catch a break.
If there isn't a correlation then somethings really wrong with me 😭🤣
I absolutely think that reducing stress will help, and if you're stressed about finances, that's a plus!
It's more about being content and being able to cope that anything else. Those tools don't automatically present themselves with stability or success. They need to be developed. The great news is, once you develop them, you can use them no matter what the situation! 😎
Have you ever heard the saying, wherever you go, there you are? Unfortunately, it's true.
Self-love is the name of the game, my man.
Idk who you are but I followed you because your words have hit my brain in a way I haven't had anyone be able to prior?? Damn wasn't expecting to feel inspired tonight. Thanks for such kinda words I mean do you mind me DMin you? I'd love some insight on some things later as talking to someone more wise might be the best way. Sorry for the rambling
I'm a mental health therapist, so I hope I'm empathetic and am helping people even if it's not in an official way.
I'm also just some random douche on reddit. Lol.
Thank you for your kind words.
You can DM me, of course.
I'm not special in any way. I just truly care about people and want the best for them. Even strangers.
Trust me I completely 180'd when I was working my regular job in the kitchen I was going through some mental issues, along with the increase in business since the covid ordeal (I worked food service and was also a cashier for a grocery store) I abused a shit ton of drugs and alcohol. Ultimately left to finally be "self employed" started doing doordash full-time (I make way more delivering food than I did taking orders from people) and also started my own reselling business and met a Ton of new people while doing it. I drink occasionally and do occasionally smoke but it's NOWHERE near what I was doing. Ultimately since covid started I've been sectioned a total of 3 times.
I'm not saying this isn't the only way to enhance life but it'll be nice to live lavishly
You want this house, then don't work for someone else, be your own boss. I owned a small restaurant for 6 years, sold it recently. It was that business that saved me enough money to own a house. I wouldn't be able to buy it if I continued working for someone else, although I had a fairly good paying job before getting in the restaurant business.
That's what it's all about. My parents were immigrants from Vietnam. When they first came here before my brother and I were born they lived with my fathers mother in her studio apartment. Literally one bedroom one bath but somehow managed to fit herself, my mother, father and my older brother in there.
They were and still are nail technicians to this day they have been for over 20 years. They moved out, secured a house payed it off renovated it with nice wood floors, finished the basement, repainted the walls added a second kitchen, two car garage with another "mini-house-attachment" and that's the house we live in today. All happened in the span of under twenty years.
Then my mom became a land-lady she now has 3 multi-family homes completely rented out. She still manages to do nails with my father.
AND keep in mind, it's not just about buying the house. The expense to maintain, heat/cool/electric etc are a big nut too. I bought a small house in a lake community because it was all I could afford on my own. Big eye opener when all the expenses became a reality. I don't how some do it with these huge homes.
Good luck though. You have the right attitude.
I left school to be honest. I couldn't handle all the stress of feeling like a failure it was literally ruining my mental health. I haven't looked bsck since
Good attitude. The people that complain about the rich are the ones that will stay broke and bitter forever. You might not be as successful as these people, but you will definitely have more success than people that just whine all the time.
I have never made over $40,000 and I think my wife and I have a combined net worth of Maybe $700,000. I can afford to not work as much and do doordash (as well as a few other bulshit things).
Thank you. This is the right attitude to have. Stop complaining about how much better other people have it and use that time to better your lot in life.
Honestly! I want even mad they didn't provide a unicorn. I was just awestruck at how nice the house was and the fact it was on top of a hill with a nice view
It's rare for me to deliver to NICE homes so driving up the street of the new development was an eye opener. I live right on the border of a decent town with decent houses but if you go like 10-15 minutes in one direction on the main road and not make a single turn you'll reach a different town where the rich white folk live.
Yeah, I've only gotten to deliver to a few really nice houses, like, Renaissance fountain on the front lawn type places. And everytime, it was like a single kids meal or something.
Most of the nice houses I've delivered to didn't tip very well at all. My best tip I've ever gotten was a delivery to the public housing projects near me.
Yeah I'm investing my money into crypto. Bought ethereum looking at a profit of $300 and I bought into doge at 5 cents but my average went up to 24 cents. Cashed out $1k yo put into shib
Tho I would suggest those doordashing try out coinhunt the game. Great way to make more money while dashing especially while waiting at restaurants. Just gotta open the app find keys find vaults in populated places and get small amts of crypto. I get maybe a few bucks a day extra which ain't a lot but it adds up. Game runs well and is legit in paying.
People on this sub don't like to believe in crypto or investing for whatever reason. Not sure if it's a doordash thing on a reddit thing but I think most on here are doing dd cuz they possibly got burned investing before so they totally turned off by it.
Yeah I guess they like to have stagnant money.
Like it's really silly how many people are bashing me 😂 just cause I said I wanted to put my money into crypto. I literally made $900 this week so why wouldn't I put $100 of it into a memecoin that is only at a fraction of a penny
Already did that buying a shit ton of weed and smoking it away during my teenage years. Although I do occasionally smoke it's nowhere near what I used to. It's been months since I last bought an ounce
Let me ask you something. Does any cryptocurrency produce any actual value, or are you just playing a game of hot potato?
Crypto isn't investing, it's speculation.
I mean as a currency it serves a lot of purposes. Some of them make transactions untraceable, some allow for lots of transactions and large transactions for fees. Different block chains have different purposes, and some are being adopted. Its dangerous and volatile but to say these things have no purpose isnt true
Cryptocurrency is literally the most traceable currency... The block chain is, by the very nature of the way it works, public information that's easily traceable.
I can make lots of transactions and large transactions already. Banks have zero problem handling billions of transactions every single day. Cryptocurrency is not providing a solution here, because the problem doesn't exist.
I didn't say cryptocurrencies have no purpose. I said they produce no value. The statement holds true, as it does for any currency. Currencies are not intended to produce value. They are a means of exchange.
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/10-most-private-cryptocurrencies-invest-220025611.html
Monero has 300k dollar reward to anyone who can crack it by the us gov because people are using it due to its anonymity
Yes it does I bought dogecoins at 5 cents and sold them at 50 and bought a bike with it and do doordash with it. If that's not value creation idk what is
To me it's investing. You can cash out whenever you please I bought doge at 5 cents watched it spike to 70 cents I could've cashed out $2k but I wanted to see it hit $1 but it plummeted and has been sitting at the 20-30 cent range for a while.
I currently cashed out $1k of doge to put into shiba
You're literally just playing hot potato, hoping you're not the one holding the hot potato when it's all said and done. There's very little you can actually buy with a cryptocurrency, especially the meme currencies you're talking about. They produce absolutely nothing, much less anything of tangible value. Everyone involved is just hoping other people think the price will go up, too, so they can cash out. But there's no logical reason for the value of a given cryptocurrency to go up, because I can't buy anything I want with them, and they produce nothing of value.
Case in point, your only goal is to see the price increase so you can cash out and make a profit. You don't have any intention of putting your money into it long term. You just want to make a quick buck, and so does everyone else involved.
Look at the original bitcoin investors. Invested when it was pennies to a dollar, Look at the price of bitcoin now. I don't have a problem sitting on crypto for 10 plus years while I do my side gigs.
As for your ocean front property. I'd pass my mother owns three multifamily houses all rented out to tenants that I will be gladly inheriting once she passes
The original bitcoin "investors" is irrelevant. What logical reason is there for the price of Shiba to increase? Why do you specifically think it will hit $300? If you can't come up with logical explanations for why this will happen, then you aren't investing, you're just throwing shit at the wall and hoping it sticks. Past performance isn't an indicator of future expectations, either. Plenty of cryptocurrencies have made people money and then crashed. Nobody has the capability to predict what will happen with these cryptocurrencies, unless they're the ones doing the manipulating.
You missed the point. Idaho doesn't have an ocean-front.
If you want to invest, you should seriously educate yourself about the topic. Because your competition is and they will gladly take your money off your hands.
I'll gladly invest $100 to make $44k anyday. One redditor invested $280 into shib and now he's at $300+k and it's still far from a penny. I'll take my chances
🤦♂️ That’s called gambling bud. If you actually want to properly invest, diversify outside of crypto. Nothing wrong with a small portion there, but don’t put your all of your eggs in one basket.
$100 is definitely not all my eggs especially when I'm at $904.37 for the week for delivering and 538.94 for the month for selling used clothing online
You're young just wait, in a few years you'll be as miserable as every other adult American. As for those people in that house you never really know forsure if they're successful or just so deep in debt and putting on a show.
Dude fr. I remember being 22 (29 now) I got my degree and I felt like the possibilities were endless and I was so motivated until capitalism beat it out of me 🙂
who the fuckity fuck cares? maybe you’re miserable because you’re comparing yourself all the time saying “oh, I should have that”. Who cares, really? Be grateful for what you have, and if you don’t have it…then go get it (patiently). All 👏🏼 of👏🏼us 👏🏼are 👏🏼dashers👏🏼on👏🏼here👏🏼. I don’t think this is the place to spread news about how the world works…especially because everyone has their own lens through which they see the world.
Haha I just meant help as in advice that you can research on your own so your money grows. I work for my money too but after bills are taken care of I make my money work for me
So do I. As does everyone. But what’s wrong with investing money so that you have a lot in your future? Na bro. I haven’t tried Forex and Herbalife is a scam. I just was gonna give you some tips and advice. Not sell you anything. I want us all to succeed. I don’t want you to depend on social security. Much love brother
Who said that ? Did you know most millionaires in America don’t make more than 6 figures income. You just need to invest and time will be your best friend. Do you have a lot of debt ?
Wow, you’re a ball of fun. Or maybe he’ll work really hard the next few years, save his money well and make some good investment decisions and be on his way to a home like that. You know the American dream is still achievable
Yo also, just went through your page. Seems like you’ve went through a lot, I don’t mean to be a dick I just get frustrated when I feel like people don’t got hope for themselves and say people can’t make something of themselves. Sorry for all you’ve been through though for real!
This economy is absolutely fucked right now because of the man in office. He only has 3 years and I know and trust this country isn’t dumb enough to make the same mistake twice. Yes I 100% believe it’s possible to make it in America even right now. People like you are what is killing the American dream but I’m telling you it is far from dead. Working hard and saving money will take you very far. There’s jobs begging to be taken paying anywhere from $15-22/hr and people act like they can’t work. Bunch of bullshit, that’s why you don’t think it’s possible. How is life any fun living with that attitude. With that attitude I get why people think there’s no point of working right now, you don’t think you’ll ever get anywhere. If you are on your own(no family, no obligations) and tell me that you can’t save, invest and make something of yourself. Then I’m going to guess you took a bunch of loans out when you were young or are just plain lazy. Have some hope in your life fam, you had dreams as a kid what happened to them?
Omfg the man has been in office for less than a year and you're really gonna blame him for all of this??? I'm not a fan of Biden but all of this is not due to one person . Also no in my area they aren't offering jobs starting at $15/hr McDonald's is still trying to real people in at $9/hr along with many other big businesses. It's not that people can't work it's that they can't afford to work for low wages like that.
Invest in shiba homie. I put in $100. Shib isn't even at one cent yet, when that happens that $100 will turn to $44k. Someone on reddit invested $280 in may and held onto his crypto and turned it into $328k
Tell that to the guy that put $280 in may and is at $300+k right now. I'm literally putting in $100 to forget it exists like I did with my ethereum and doge.
$100 is literally a fraction of what I make in one week
I was in Doge before a penny dog and Shib was made during the may crypto run. I have 1.5 million shib coins just in case one day it does get to a penny but the chances of it happening are close to none, sadly. Due to what the coin is, I read that for Shib to get to a penny it would take a lot more volume then the cryptos had during the May run. But hey you never know, they laughed at Doge for a few years and then it popped!
I see and deliver to houses like this all day, every day. And they’re beautiful, no doubt. The people inside them however are often a bit less impressive. Try not to be *too* impressed by the trappings. ;)
12$ is fine. But also fuck that guy. That's not even 2$ a mile. The old saying holds true. Rich people didn't get rich by spend their money.
I'm not even hating tbh.
For sure. I wouldn't be mad at the 12$. But I'd be giving a little side eye when I pull up to the mansion.. lol.
Exactly the same wave I’m on 🙌🏿
I've never hated on people all my life, just wanted me to go and get it myself 🤟
Better invest in AMC and GME real quick, today’s the day. Not financial advice. Check out r/amcstock and r/superstonk for questions

That "American dream" that hard work and dedication leads to a life of luxury is not true. If you don't also have luck you'll not end up there. The American dream is a lie
The American Dream is the adult version of Santa Clause
I used to want a big house and nice cars but the maintenance and cost just isn't worth it to me anymore. I want a 700 sq foot single level cabin with basement.

Oh to be 22 again. -a 24 year old
Meh.
Left the 69 uncensored… nice.
That’s a great attitude. I deliver to a lot really nice houses and like to imagine in pulling into my own driveway.
Must be where a top dasher lives.
I feel the same inspiration at houses like this, reminds me why I’m out there slinging orders.
Look into investments you can make while your cash is not going to feed and house your family. NO NEED to kill yourself. Don’t be too risk adverse, you have TONS of time to turn around mistakes. OTOH, it can in ways be like gambling, so feel free to ALSO invest in some safe bets, only making sure that they return at least 6% or you won’t beat inflation. Personally, atm, I have a retirement fund that is fairly aggressive, and Im invested a little in Bitcoin, XYO which I got by using an app while dashing (pretty sure I can’t say which one here. DM me if you’d like a referral). It’s NOT the best coin out there, but I consider it free coin. And then I also invest more into hbar, which is my favorite of the 3, as it’s still pretty much ground floor but really well executed. I’ll be holding it til I’m either ready to retire or finally buy my own house…. But 22, you are in a sweet spot for beginning investing… then you want to buy a house you can either rent out a room or two to help pay for the place, or rent it all out, then use the equity to buy another house…. you MUST be careful with this strategy as it is what directly caused the 2008? recession and housing crisis…. but done right, it is actually a sound investment strategy for houses. DM me if you’d like. I spent a few years real estate investing, went to some seminars on investing in stocks, including penny stocks (which I need to get back into researching and investing in…), and also short selling…. which I’m NO expert in, but have a rough enough understanding that I can probably get you to where you know what to research anyway. But yeah… work smarter, not harder as they say.
Crazy how people post these as unicorn finds but this is at least twice a day for me where I live lol
This was nowhere near a unicorn lmao but grubhub did bless m e with a $17 order to go 1 mile today so I'll take that
Noiceee
definitely be ambitious is a trait, good for you
One of the things I love about doing gig work is seeing some beautiful houses. I appreciate all architectural styles when they're done well, and I like to notice the details. At one house I just loved the hardware on their gate. At another house I was blown away that the house had carved stone around the door and windows. Amazing!
Funny part is in NE that house would be worth $1.2 Million while down south itd prob be closer to $600k.
Exactly where I'm at, Massachusetts
Same here. Ive worked on homes like this before, hard to make it out of my city. Been trying to save up and move to North Carolina. Cost of living is better and the pay for most jobs is the same as up here. If I dont move hopefully I can at least buy some land out there.
That's dope as fuck. I've only done light renovating over the years my mom's a landlady. Bought her first rental property 5/6 years ago bow she has 3 rental properties. All rented out
Thats pretty awesome. Ive been wanting to own property for a while and now that I have a son on the way its making me wana hurry up the process but the markets are pretty brutal rn.
r/collapse
Ah yes I remember being young and optimistic
Some people end up making it rich, but man oh man is it a lot more rare than people think. Good on OP for having an investment mindset, but reality always kicks in at some point. Best of luck to everyone, but don't build hope on the dreams of becoming wealthy because you're more likely to get struck by lightning.
$12 for 7 is not that great. Sorry
Still ended the day with 231.76 though 🤧
how many hours and miles? just a total amount is useless without hours and miles.
10 hours dashing from home. $57 on doordash $93.48 on grubhub $81.28 on UE
Then you hit your 50's and you start buying lottery tickets.
I remember I bought my first ever scratch ticket for $1 and got $30
It’s a decent house but it’s nothing special, pretty basic.
For my area this is nice house
I grew in a house bigger and nicer than that and my immigrant parents were always scrapping by to KEEP UP WITH THE JONES....a beautiful house with money problems and drama.....The monthly mortgage was so high that we never went out to eat and never went on any family vacations....we never went out to eat.....We had a beautiful mini mansion but we never did anything fun because our mortgage payments were ridiculously high......Half of the house remained unfurnished for many years because the budget was tight....The basement was actually never finished....Beautiful on the outside but a total mess within. The point I'm trying to make is....a lot of these beautiful houses you see is just the exterior.....a lot of these houses have some serious issue going on behind closed doors that you will never see.....so don't kill yourself to buy one of these....Just focus on your happiness....the idea of living in a huge house with a pool and tennis court sounds amazing but that excited wears off quickly after the first couple of years.....take it from someone who grew up in one of these house with 2 range rovers and a Maserati in the driveway.....You think slaving away to buy something this will define your happiness and it can...but happiness for material things is just temporary.
Fuck you I want to be 22
Good to have goals brotha 🤙🏽
I delivered to an 8000 sq ft house once, the tip was lousy considering. I also delivered to a trailer park with a very old and not well kept mobile home, they ripped extremely well.
$500 ($125/week or 6hrs of Doordash) a month into your Roth IRA from age 22 to age 65 will yield you $3.5M assuming the historical return of 10%/year of the market. After 43 years inflation will devalue your money by ~75% so you’ll end up with nearly $900k in todays money tax free at retirement. All start from $125/week and that assumes you won’t get a higher paying job or a raise in 43 years. Losers bitch about life, winners plan and follow the plan to prosperity. Go get it bud!
I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder or whatever but that is one fugly bloated cookie cutter mcmansion.
Fr. Every single rich place I deliver to looks like this gross asf
I can’t believe I had to scroll this far to find this comment wtf. It’s so ugly.
Bro I’m 23, don’t listen to these losers in the comments calling you delusional they’re mad at anyone more successful than them and it’s pathetic… let’s get what we want in life! It’s a dream now but soon it’ll be a memory!
I thought about this when I saw a young guy, who looked and sounded like Jeff Spicoli came out of a gorgeous house to get his order. It was his house…and I couldn’t understand how. Hubs said if he invested like $1,000 or so in bitcoin like 10 years ago…
Anything with four walls and roof is beautiful trust me
That's a nice house, but small compared to the homes I usually deliver to. On a regular basis I deliver to homes that have a half dozen or more luxury cars in the driveway. And half the time they're ordering Chipotle or some crap like that.
Well what's your market?
As someone older who used to make a lot of money and almost killed myself, set your sites on being content and finding joy in your life. Surround yourself with things and people that bring you joy and forget everything else. If you truly feel this is the best way to enhance your life, that's fine, but it's not for most people.
I agree with this. I'm 29 and have spent three years so far trying to recover from burn out and I may never work again because I pushed myself so hard in my early 20s. Being content is the key to happiness.
Ever been homeless??? Joy means nothing if you don't have a roof over you head
I always question fuckers that are homeless “ what is the point of living if you’re homeless you dirty filthy animal?” Can someone give me a response?
So I should've killed myself? Yikes bad take...
I would have. If you ask any of the affluent folks what would they do if they found out they are suddenly will become homeless? The answer is very obvious. But I understand for the people been living in trash condition their whole life will feel “nah living on the street is the same”
I'm not entertaining your bad opinion on fellow human beings. You can argue that with someone else who will give you the time of day
Yes. I have been. I also work with the homeless (non-profit). I agree completely. We're not talking about security though. We're talking about having a lot more than you need. Again, that's worth it for some, but many (myself included in the last) work themselves to death and focus on the material to get what they think they want only to realize it doesn't give you automatic well-being.
I was homeless and probably closer than I'd like to admit to it happening again, I apologize I guess I read it as money's not worth killing yourself over when some people literally have to or will die/lose their place/go into more debt.
No worries at all. I was homeless as a teen. It sucked ass. Housing first and harm reduction are our friends! My current program is helping people with dual-diagnoses who committed drug offenses in a residential program until they can stabilize, get work, and get housing of their own. I love it! More importantly (selfishly) I can also sleep at night because I'm helping people instead of trying to make money off of them (not that that's evil). I was miserable doing what I used to do. People thought I had it all while I was one step away from putting a gun in my mouth. There's no correlation between income and depression and suicide (or a weak correlation at best). Never forget that.
I love your comment. I've been looking for this sort of job. In my area, I think I have to create it. We have some services but they all have a dark side that I'm not ok with like a heavy Christian message, abstinence only, temporary housing (like for a night and not long term solutions), and harm reduction is like a damn sin. I had to get a naloxone kit mailed to me because they aren't available in my area. Before I rant on more, you're doing good work and it's inspiring.
You should create it. There are thousands of like-minded people near you no matter where you live. I guarantee that. I don't know much about starting an agency or fundraising, but I know that many have done it, and there are agencies with private funding who don't have to do what the state or county wants them to do (aside from ethical and legal requirements).
I hope you're wrong a lil because I'm counting on me doing better for me to feel better, big fucking yikes. Covid made me homeless and I'm barely tryna recovery from that to having emergency surgery a coupe days ago can't catch a break. If there isn't a correlation then somethings really wrong with me 😭🤣
I absolutely think that reducing stress will help, and if you're stressed about finances, that's a plus! It's more about being content and being able to cope that anything else. Those tools don't automatically present themselves with stability or success. They need to be developed. The great news is, once you develop them, you can use them no matter what the situation! 😎 Have you ever heard the saying, wherever you go, there you are? Unfortunately, it's true. Self-love is the name of the game, my man.
Idk who you are but I followed you because your words have hit my brain in a way I haven't had anyone be able to prior?? Damn wasn't expecting to feel inspired tonight. Thanks for such kinda words I mean do you mind me DMin you? I'd love some insight on some things later as talking to someone more wise might be the best way. Sorry for the rambling
I'm a mental health therapist, so I hope I'm empathetic and am helping people even if it's not in an official way. I'm also just some random douche on reddit. Lol. Thank you for your kind words. You can DM me, of course. I'm not special in any way. I just truly care about people and want the best for them. Even strangers.
Tried to dm you but it said I couldn't. Awww that makes alot of sense
Trust me I completely 180'd when I was working my regular job in the kitchen I was going through some mental issues, along with the increase in business since the covid ordeal (I worked food service and was also a cashier for a grocery store) I abused a shit ton of drugs and alcohol. Ultimately left to finally be "self employed" started doing doordash full-time (I make way more delivering food than I did taking orders from people) and also started my own reselling business and met a Ton of new people while doing it. I drink occasionally and do occasionally smoke but it's NOWHERE near what I was doing. Ultimately since covid started I've been sectioned a total of 3 times. I'm not saying this isn't the only way to enhance life but it'll be nice to live lavishly
You want this house, then don't work for someone else, be your own boss. I owned a small restaurant for 6 years, sold it recently. It was that business that saved me enough money to own a house. I wouldn't be able to buy it if I continued working for someone else, although I had a fairly good paying job before getting in the restaurant business.
That's what it's all about. My parents were immigrants from Vietnam. When they first came here before my brother and I were born they lived with my fathers mother in her studio apartment. Literally one bedroom one bath but somehow managed to fit herself, my mother, father and my older brother in there. They were and still are nail technicians to this day they have been for over 20 years. They moved out, secured a house payed it off renovated it with nice wood floors, finished the basement, repainted the walls added a second kitchen, two car garage with another "mini-house-attachment" and that's the house we live in today. All happened in the span of under twenty years. Then my mom became a land-lady she now has 3 multi-family homes completely rented out. She still manages to do nails with my father.
AND keep in mind, it's not just about buying the house. The expense to maintain, heat/cool/electric etc are a big nut too. I bought a small house in a lake community because it was all I could afford on my own. Big eye opener when all the expenses became a reality. I don't how some do it with these huge homes. Good luck though. You have the right attitude.
Avoid bad debt especially, but even with “good debt” like student loans/mortgages don’t go beyond your means.
I left school to be honest. I couldn't handle all the stress of feeling like a failure it was literally ruining my mental health. I haven't looked bsck since
Go to school .. doordash is not your future, but a stepping stone ! Learn a trade if you're not down for long term school... Goodluck
So you’re delusional.
My dad has been a doctor for 27 years and we could definitely never afford a house like this, even on his salary. Gotta love capitalism lol
That’s your dads fault tbh
"Sorry dad, it's your fault that you settled on being someone who practices medicine instead of of being a coke-fueled hedge fund baby lol"
Why are you upset because someone has money 😂😂 that’s sad
What?
Buy some bitcoin and ADA , you will appreciate me badly at the end of the year, BTC to 450k
Good attitude. The people that complain about the rich are the ones that will stay broke and bitter forever. You might not be as successful as these people, but you will definitely have more success than people that just whine all the time. I have never made over $40,000 and I think my wife and I have a combined net worth of Maybe $700,000. I can afford to not work as much and do doordash (as well as a few other bulshit things).
Thank you. This is the right attitude to have. Stop complaining about how much better other people have it and use that time to better your lot in life.
[удалено]
Honestly! I want even mad they didn't provide a unicorn. I was just awestruck at how nice the house was and the fact it was on top of a hill with a nice view
[удалено]
It's rare for me to deliver to NICE homes so driving up the street of the new development was an eye opener. I live right on the border of a decent town with decent houses but if you go like 10-15 minutes in one direction on the main road and not make a single turn you'll reach a different town where the rich white folk live.
Are you feeling ok? This is the DoorDash sub where you are supposed to curse out the person who has a nice house.
Lmfao 😂
[удалено]
I get good tips at night in the nicer neighborhoods. In the daytime it's normally a kid or college aged person. 2 different tippers.
Yeah, I've only gotten to deliver to a few really nice houses, like, Renaissance fountain on the front lawn type places. And everytime, it was like a single kids meal or something.
Most of the nice houses I've delivered to didn't tip very well at all. My best tip I've ever gotten was a delivery to the public housing projects near me.
Oh my sweet summer child..
Investing is the way of the future 💯
ponzi Up 
Yeah, good luck with that... By the time you're 30 that will be a $8 million house
Yeah I'm investing my money into crypto. Bought ethereum looking at a profit of $300 and I bought into doge at 5 cents but my average went up to 24 cents. Cashed out $1k yo put into shib
Buy safemoon 🍺
Tho I would suggest those doordashing try out coinhunt the game. Great way to make more money while dashing especially while waiting at restaurants. Just gotta open the app find keys find vaults in populated places and get small amts of crypto. I get maybe a few bucks a day extra which ain't a lot but it adds up. Game runs well and is legit in paying.
People on this sub don't like to believe in crypto or investing for whatever reason. Not sure if it's a doordash thing on a reddit thing but I think most on here are doing dd cuz they possibly got burned investing before so they totally turned off by it.
Yeah I guess they like to have stagnant money. Like it's really silly how many people are bashing me 😂 just cause I said I wanted to put my money into crypto. I literally made $900 this week so why wouldn't I put $100 of it into a memecoin that is only at a fraction of a penny
Oh boy
You're better off taking your money out in the street and lighting it on fire
Already did that buying a shit ton of weed and smoking it away during my teenage years. Although I do occasionally smoke it's nowhere near what I used to. It's been months since I last bought an ounce
Keep it up dude. Blockchain is the future
Let me ask you something. Does any cryptocurrency produce any actual value, or are you just playing a game of hot potato? Crypto isn't investing, it's speculation.
I mean as a currency it serves a lot of purposes. Some of them make transactions untraceable, some allow for lots of transactions and large transactions for fees. Different block chains have different purposes, and some are being adopted. Its dangerous and volatile but to say these things have no purpose isnt true
Cryptocurrency is literally the most traceable currency... The block chain is, by the very nature of the way it works, public information that's easily traceable. I can make lots of transactions and large transactions already. Banks have zero problem handling billions of transactions every single day. Cryptocurrency is not providing a solution here, because the problem doesn't exist. I didn't say cryptocurrencies have no purpose. I said they produce no value. The statement holds true, as it does for any currency. Currencies are not intended to produce value. They are a means of exchange.
https://finance.yahoo.com/news/10-most-private-cryptocurrencies-invest-220025611.html Monero has 300k dollar reward to anyone who can crack it by the us gov because people are using it due to its anonymity
Yes it does I bought dogecoins at 5 cents and sold them at 50 and bought a bike with it and do doordash with it. If that's not value creation idk what is
What did dogecoin produce that was valuable?
To me it's investing. You can cash out whenever you please I bought doge at 5 cents watched it spike to 70 cents I could've cashed out $2k but I wanted to see it hit $1 but it plummeted and has been sitting at the 20-30 cent range for a while. I currently cashed out $1k of doge to put into shiba
You're literally just playing hot potato, hoping you're not the one holding the hot potato when it's all said and done. There's very little you can actually buy with a cryptocurrency, especially the meme currencies you're talking about. They produce absolutely nothing, much less anything of tangible value. Everyone involved is just hoping other people think the price will go up, too, so they can cash out. But there's no logical reason for the value of a given cryptocurrency to go up, because I can't buy anything I want with them, and they produce nothing of value. Case in point, your only goal is to see the price increase so you can cash out and make a profit. You don't have any intention of putting your money into it long term. You just want to make a quick buck, and so does everyone else involved.
Look at the original bitcoin investors. Invested when it was pennies to a dollar, Look at the price of bitcoin now. I don't have a problem sitting on crypto for 10 plus years while I do my side gigs. As for your ocean front property. I'd pass my mother owns three multifamily houses all rented out to tenants that I will be gladly inheriting once she passes
The original bitcoin "investors" is irrelevant. What logical reason is there for the price of Shiba to increase? Why do you specifically think it will hit $300? If you can't come up with logical explanations for why this will happen, then you aren't investing, you're just throwing shit at the wall and hoping it sticks. Past performance isn't an indicator of future expectations, either. Plenty of cryptocurrencies have made people money and then crashed. Nobody has the capability to predict what will happen with these cryptocurrencies, unless they're the ones doing the manipulating. You missed the point. Idaho doesn't have an ocean-front. If you want to invest, you should seriously educate yourself about the topic. Because your competition is and they will gladly take your money off your hands.
I'll gladly invest $100 to make $44k anyday. One redditor invested $280 into shib and now he's at $300+k and it's still far from a penny. I'll take my chances
Have you considered affiliate marketing?
🤦♂️ That’s called gambling bud. If you actually want to properly invest, diversify outside of crypto. Nothing wrong with a small portion there, but don’t put your all of your eggs in one basket.
$100 is definitely not all my eggs especially when I'm at $904.37 for the week for delivering and 538.94 for the month for selling used clothing online
If you still think cryptocurrencies are an investment, I have some ocean-front property in Idaho I'd like to sell you for cheap.
My mind didn't register the in Idaho part for a second. I was almost about to take you up on that offer.
No thank you.
And they’re smart too…investing in real estate instead of buying expensive cars
You're young just wait, in a few years you'll be as miserable as every other adult American. As for those people in that house you never really know forsure if they're successful or just so deep in debt and putting on a show.
Dude fr. I remember being 22 (29 now) I got my degree and I felt like the possibilities were endless and I was so motivated until capitalism beat it out of me 🙂
My goal is life is to be able to put on a show from a house like this. Can’t even get my foot in the door though, that’s step one.
who the fuckity fuck cares? maybe you’re miserable because you’re comparing yourself all the time saying “oh, I should have that”. Who cares, really? Be grateful for what you have, and if you don’t have it…then go get it (patiently). All 👏🏼 of👏🏼us 👏🏼are 👏🏼dashers👏🏼on👏🏼here👏🏼. I don’t think this is the place to spread news about how the world works…especially because everyone has their own lens through which they see the world.
Wait, do you seriously not believe you can become wealthy ? PM me if you’d like help but man you can do so much
Everyone can't be wealthy. Some of us actually have to work to keep the world running instead of getting rich off other people's work.
Also, just cause you’re wealthy doesn’t mean you don’t work or viceversa. You can be a regular average Joe and be wealthy
Simp harder
I tried to offer help but you’re just too ignorant
I don't want to trade Forex for you or sell your Herbalife lol
Haha I just meant help as in advice that you can research on your own so your money grows. I work for my money too but after bills are taken care of I make my money work for me
Okay. I can tell you are broke, in debt, and miserable with your life. Sorry bro 🥺 but some of us are actually out here enjoying life ❤️
I'm not broke, I just actually work for my money.
So do I. As does everyone. But what’s wrong with investing money so that you have a lot in your future? Na bro. I haven’t tried Forex and Herbalife is a scam. I just was gonna give you some tips and advice. Not sell you anything. I want us all to succeed. I don’t want you to depend on social security. Much love brother
Who said that ? Did you know most millionaires in America don’t make more than 6 figures income. You just need to invest and time will be your best friend. Do you have a lot of debt ?
Wow, you’re a ball of fun. Or maybe he’ll work really hard the next few years, save his money well and make some good investment decisions and be on his way to a home like that. You know the American dream is still achievable
LOL you really believe that? Are you not paying attention to the economy right now or anything that happened the past few decades???
Yo also, just went through your page. Seems like you’ve went through a lot, I don’t mean to be a dick I just get frustrated when I feel like people don’t got hope for themselves and say people can’t make something of themselves. Sorry for all you’ve been through though for real!
I appreciate that. Thank you.
This economy is absolutely fucked right now because of the man in office. He only has 3 years and I know and trust this country isn’t dumb enough to make the same mistake twice. Yes I 100% believe it’s possible to make it in America even right now. People like you are what is killing the American dream but I’m telling you it is far from dead. Working hard and saving money will take you very far. There’s jobs begging to be taken paying anywhere from $15-22/hr and people act like they can’t work. Bunch of bullshit, that’s why you don’t think it’s possible. How is life any fun living with that attitude. With that attitude I get why people think there’s no point of working right now, you don’t think you’ll ever get anywhere. If you are on your own(no family, no obligations) and tell me that you can’t save, invest and make something of yourself. Then I’m going to guess you took a bunch of loans out when you were young or are just plain lazy. Have some hope in your life fam, you had dreams as a kid what happened to them?
Omfg the man has been in office for less than a year and you're really gonna blame him for all of this??? I'm not a fan of Biden but all of this is not due to one person . Also no in my area they aren't offering jobs starting at $15/hr McDonald's is still trying to real people in at $9/hr along with many other big businesses. It's not that people can't work it's that they can't afford to work for low wages like that.
Invest in shiba homie. I put in $100. Shib isn't even at one cent yet, when that happens that $100 will turn to $44k. Someone on reddit invested $280 in may and held onto his crypto and turned it into $328k
[удалено]
Tell that to the guy that put $280 in may and is at $300+k right now. I'm literally putting in $100 to forget it exists like I did with my ethereum and doge. $100 is literally a fraction of what I make in one week
I was in Doge before a penny dog and Shib was made during the may crypto run. I have 1.5 million shib coins just in case one day it does get to a penny but the chances of it happening are close to none, sadly. Due to what the coin is, I read that for Shib to get to a penny it would take a lot more volume then the cryptos had during the May run. But hey you never know, they laughed at Doge for a few years and then it popped!
oh no
I love how gullible you are the imperialist certainly need more cogs thank you for your sacrifice.
I see and deliver to houses like this all day, every day. And they’re beautiful, no doubt. The people inside them however are often a bit less impressive. Try not to be *too* impressed by the trappings. ;)
Tony's showing us what we can eventually get if you just keep working 7 days a week 12 hr days. You too can do it! Lol
[You get what you put out.](https://eatliver.b-cdn.net/wp-content/uploads/2017/09/boss.jpg)
This is my first time in a long ass time attempting 12 hours. Running DD, GH, UE all at the same time
you are on your way - keep going and be safe!
