Any Rich NTers ?

[gtek]

I was always told that those who have money. Have money for a reason.
They know how to manage it and not to waste it on stupid stuff such as LV shoes.
I know about 3 millionaires around my way. Netheir of them are the flashy type.
One of them even works at Bi-lo.

im 24 by the way

what school? m7 i assume

yeah you got it, technically its not ivy, but its m7. I finished at UChicago grad and my offical degree was an MSc in Financial Mathematics (mathematical finance, same thing). It was one of the toughest things i've ever done (studying 8hours daily plus 4-5 hours of class) but its worth it like you can't believe. Lifes just gonna be easier ya kno.

so whats your actual job? if youre gettin 165K in bonuses alone thats impressive. Your bonus alone is more than my whole salary. I could get up there if Idid a lot of OT but for now the 40 hrs a week is ok for me. Do most people with your degree get money like that? I might have to go back to school

Here is a story...

i was on he R train and saw some girl all flashed out, LV kicks, LV bag, True Religions, Moncler Jacket, etc.

I was sitting behind them and the whole train ride, she was itching at her bf (sitting right next to her) how they were gonna pay next months rent.

Most of you guys would say it was fake. I wouldn't know because it was a quick peep I took.

It's sad, real sad.

Fixed.

No I dont drive an Altima. Out of everything I crossed out is that the only thing you guys notice?

I just dont see anything wrong with driving an Altima. But I've see a lot of people driving around in old Civics and when they jump out, their outfit cost more than the car

I didn't mean a new one...

if u steppin out of this then

but this?

So with that being said, how many sneakers did your mom buy you?

 

[lilpro4u]

I'm poor.. I grew up pretty poor, but never wanted anything.. We had a pretty generous landlord that would let my mom skip 6 months of paying rent so shecould pay when she got her tuition residuals.. I'm grateful, but im so tired of the struggle. I swear college better pay off. I'ma make it pay off..

Those of you that have successful/rich parents, you're lucky.. My parents ask me for money 99% of the time.

Did I misread that, I thought he meant he made 165k + got a bonus...either way, not bad. Hopefully didn't slave too many hours to obtain it.

I have a cousin/friend who I believe created a math theorem over at the U of Chi. Definitely a great school, especially mathematics.

Nah....I mean it happens but not "more often than not." Unless by looks you just mean clothing, cars, etc. not housing, education, travel, and other more substantial expenses

You're right. That was an exxegeration but it happens way more often than people think.

There's a dude around my way who is worth over 100m+ easily. He has a nice house and a few cars but nothing that would scream 100m+.
There are others who are not nearly worth as much but have a nicer house and a Ferrari and a Bentley.
Of course they're not really posing because they're still wealthy but you get my point.

 

[ricardo malta]

I was about to come in here and stunt like Barnum & Bailey then I thought better of it. That TI/Vick vacation I just came home from told me to humblemyself

Lemme put it this way. Some "Rich" people are materialistic and show it off. Some shop at Marshalls and drive a Prius. Some "middle of theroad" people are materialistic and live beyond their means. Some dig through bargain bins and just re-upped their bus pass.

At the end of the day, who really cares how someone else spends their money? Your priorities aren't the next man's so who are you to decide ifsomebody is "frontin' and stuntin"?

BTW, I just sold my condo in Back Bay (Boston) for a cool $1.7

(sorry had to stunt just a weeee bit

)

 

[lazyj10]

What'd you net?

 

[downtown43]

Malta what did you even do..?

(or are you not comfortable talking about it)

 

[sneakerfan93]

I'm the richest on NT

Just kidding...

 

[de phx jose]

Everyone on this site is rich.

 

[rfx45]

Some of the example of people not spending too much, I think, just has to do with what interests them.
For example, this guy is the 11th richest man in the world but he is getting flamed by WUSers for wearing this cheap polar watch:

But his hobbies include acquiring this:

So I think it really depends on the person and what their passion, interests are.
I mean another example is Jay Leno, you'd never think dude spends money but his car collections is kept in 2 plane hangars.
This is NT so of course we see interests in clothes, shoes and cars and that is what people spend their money on, rich or not.

Yeah man its base salary: $165,000 plus a bonus of $35000-$65000 depending on performance. I've only been with this company for 2 years so itsa good start. The real money starts after the 5-6-7 year mark. In terms of working hard... well lets just say thats not an issue (80+ hours a week Monday-FriFTL)...

My degree is definitely marketable because of how focused and mathematically based it is, butt I wouldnt say that everybody makes that much starting (UChicagodoes have a really high avg income post grad tho). The biggest value is in how much you actually learn with thisdegree. As corny as it sounds its true. Once youre in the door in the financial world, its all up to you. You make money for the company, you get mad richquicker than anywhere else. If you lose money, well you get replaced by somebody that can make money lol. So again, the degree teaches you a lot that you canactually apply in your work.

My advice is to go back to school 100%. You see a lot of people here making posts about how college isnt worth it and its all who you know...

i didnt knowanybodyyy (just moved to a new city man). Do it. Get a math-based degree if you can, youll be better off.
