Yes.. By far.

Well maybe a few $k less than a few days ago, but nothing major. Standard swings.

edit: sometime in the next few months I'll probably start paying off the house in fairly big chunks, but I don't think I'm gonna use much savings money for it. I'd rather just use x% of my monthly income to go towards the mortgage and hopefully it'll be gone pretty fast.

yes. poker's been going well. my net worth is pretty small compared to most, prob like 40kish, but i'm debt free, so that's good.

edit: actually, it's closer to 50k

Yes, I think that the 2nd or 3rd year after graduating from school is one of the times in life when you have the most disposable income. I still live a fairly cheap lifestyle like I did when I was a student but I'm now making 80K/year. I don't have a family or mortgage payments so all of the money comes to me.

Obviously though it depends on how much student debt you have. Since I graduated debt free, that clearly helps me now.

Pretty close to peak. I'm down a relatively small amount from my peak (stock fluctuations and poker fluctuations).

I don't understand this at all...where does the money go?

6-figures PLUS poker covers a LOT of expenses. You'd have to really be going out of your way to blow money to not get rid of this debt.

I just gave 5 weeks notice at work. I'm going to move to MN, be unemployed and possibly supporting my girlfriend who is quitting her job to finish her Master's in 6 months instead of 2 more years. That'll pay off huge though when she gets her degree in non-profit management. Oh wait, no it won't. So looking forward if I shook an magic 8 ball it would read "OUTLOOK NOT SO GOOD"

That doesn't matter though. I'm pretty excited for it. We're going to take a nice vacation to Europe, I'm going to have some time to ride my bike, travel and catch up with old friends. I'm probably going to spend down all the cash I have and then some. Oh well.

nice i gotta get me a gold digger

Also - forgot to mention that the trick is marrying someone who ends up making about triple what you do.

wtf would u care what other people pay for weddings compared to you
15k on one day is still 15k in the ****ter

No. I had more money when I lived rent free (live-in job that also paid me $) had a full-time job (still do), and made $ playing online poker, owned no car, and had no wife. When I started snorting 1/2 ounce of cocaine per week, every week, that kinda took a bite out of my cash as well.

Don't do coke.

Plus I think my porfolio took a hit recently, as did the US Dollar. Fortunately I have overseas property and overseas investments.

yea i've got more loot than ever before. but thats true like 80% of the time since I live cheaply, have no debt, and am pretty good at poker.

for a while I was concerned that I had too much in poker accounts and not enough in investments, but then I didn't lose much when the market tanked. probably a good time to buy though, so that might change soon. well, after taxes. goddamn taxes.
