germany. 29. studied physics/math, played poker for 6 years, run 3 SaaS. do consulting at 300/hour. 3 days ago ive decided to invest in real estate since thats the only market that the robots cant take away from us. the luxury living spaces of 2035 wont look significantly different from those of 2015. in terms of location. a super conservative projection of the real estate thing will lead to acquiring property worth…

How did you earn about 650k before taxes and social security in Germany in one year?

34, software developer, India. Me and my wife, own three houses, worth at least 200k in current downmarket, i would estimate. Have other long term investments of around 20k in equity markets, around 25k in cash and a mortage of around 25k. Annual salary around 65k before taxes.

Real estate is down currently in India, I feel i have locked up all my wealth there. Now saving funds to finance further studies in near future.

Considering student loans, about -45,000.00 USD

- how old are you?

40

- what do/did you do?

I work in an Amazon fulfillment center, saving up money because I live with my extended family so that eventually I can afford a meager apartment and have a bit of an emergency cushion while I barely pay down my business application programming and graphic design degrees before the IRS decides to just send a guy for my kidneys.

Jokes on them, since they'll be well past their sell-by date by then.

- where are you from?

America, where freedom isn't free.

Genuinely curious, are there other countries where you think your life would have been better? I imagine it might be the Nordic ones, maybe the whole EU in your opinion?

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Hey, I'm interested in the poker part. My best friends make a living with poker and I know the world of poker pretty good. How did you make the money, online/live and tournaments/cash/sit&go? Nice stats btw, keep it like this, it looks like you have pretty much everything figured out.

online cash fixed limit holdem. got out in 2010. been a while.

It is good that you did I suppose, given that limit has been solved now.

My life is not that bad, all things considered. I would have preferred to not go into as much debt trying to improve my career prospects, but I did so knowing that was a calculated risk. And who knows, things might still work out.

I think any modern country besides the US would have been better in that regard. Education and healthcare are two things I would gladly pay more taxes for.
