Has your financial situation changed since 2007?

[jennifer_bloom]

When I was younger, I could work 3 days part time and have enough money for a video game console and 10 driving lessons cost me 3 days of work at an entry level job. Now things cost more money. I used to pay $23 after tax and tip for sushi at a buffet and now it’s $36 for the same service. My friend said all her friends have graduate degrees and yet they live with their family cause inflation is raising the price of property for both owners and renters. When I was 18, rent was 1/5th what it is now.

In 2007 I started my career & my financial situation was like a roller coaster & it’s had its ups as well as downs & now knock on wood I live comfortably. Everything is going up & it will always go up & what things cost in the past you’ll never see again.

You are paying $36.00 for sushi at buffet after tax & a tip & is the buffet all you can eat?

[anna0983773]

Haha,. How long have you been working at this current one. Do you use any other dating apps of you can tell me your number where we can go to have a chat.

[Static_In_The_Attic]

@anna0983773 I’ve been on the job for sixteen years & as for dating I prefer offline dating & with all honesty I don’t do online dating apps & any bullshit like that. No LDR’s or GD’s!

[joeND]

You picked a tough yeah to innvesst in stocks , you were down 50% I bet by 3/3/09

[jennifer_bloom]

Yes it's all you can eat. I eat a lot of sushi so I lose money if I do a pay per item deal.

[anna0983773]

Right. I just think I'm rarely on here if at all and it's certainly better if you have use of the app.

[anna0983773]

@joeND What are you investing in.

[AnusNdaPainus]

By at least an extra 40k a year

[anna0983773]

40k a year what do you do for a living. Or do you run your own business of some kind.

[AnusNdaPainus]

@anna0983773 im just a simple electrician ma’am
Very high in demand job I was set for life at 19.

[anna0983773]

[joeND]

[joeND]

@anna0983773 wow

[anna0983773]

@joeND Thank you. Where are you from. I'm from Spain. Can you tell me your whatsapp number where we can go to chat.

[richardcory]

Over time my income has increased somewhat faster than inflation. Recently a job change gave me a big boost so I'm considerably better off than in 2007

[anna0983773]

Did you have your work cut out for you at the time of the epidemic.

[richardcory]

@anna0983773 I was able to do some of my work from home, but I prefer working in the office.

[anna0983773]

Haha,. Do you work on a computer. , how long have you been working at this current one. Do you use any other dating apps of you can tell me your number where we can go to have a chat.

[richardcory]

@anna0983773 I do some work with a computer, some with my hands. But doubt you'd want to chat with an old nerd, however interesting I may think I am

Besides I'm just here for casual discussions, am happily married. But I am happy to chat on this app if you like

[anna0983773]

I think our conversations are age-neutral. I just find you very interesting.

[richardcory]

@anna0983773 I'm very happy to talk in the chat here if you like. The way your profile is set up you will have to follow me (or allow messages from non-following)

Unfortunately I don't have any other contacts in this security circle.

[exitseven]

Yes, I have more money and no debt. I have both my mortgages paid off and was able to buy a new truck and pay cash for it.

[CaptainSmartass]

Yes. Because in 2007, I left school and started at vocational college. I started working in 2009. Since then, my income has (obviously) improved.

Simples...

[anna0983773]

Haha,. How long have you been working at this current one. Do you use any other dating apps of you can tell me your number where we can go to have a chat.

[jamesgoldman]

Absolutely, back then a good month was £20 in scrap metal, now I make £500 in gold

[anna0983773]

You are a good investor.

[joeND]

yes much better

[joeND]

Why ask of 2007 at the top why not 2009 at the bottom. I aam up 3x from 2007, up 6x from 2009

[jennifer_bloom]

2007 is when I began to spend my own money and before 2007 I spent my parents money.

[joeND]

hahahha funny. My advise save 10% of earnings or more and if you are in USA invest in low or no fee index funds in (TICKER SYMBOLS ): large cap (FNILX), small cap (FZIPX) , mid cap (FSMDX). Tech (VGT). DO THIS YOU WILL BE WEALTHY SOON , You will earn 8-10% a year , and double your money with no additional savings. If you save 10% you will double money sooner.

[joeND]

I had a good amount of money on 10/31/07, by 3/3/09 I was down 50%. By 3/3/11 I was up 30% from the 10/31/07 previous high. So through a recession I till made near 10% a year.

[jennifer_bloom]

Cool, thanks

[anna0983773]

It seems that you are a very fond investor in stocks you have made a good profit on them.

[anna0983773]

You are a good investor.

[anna0983773]

What are your future plans.

[BLP11520]

Yes it has.
