I have never really gotten any money from my parents. I drive a Nissan Maxima which i bought for myself, cash. I worked and saved up for it. I've paid for every repair done on the car. I live with my parents, and I pay for all my own shit. I help out to pay for the family groceries. I pay the house's cable and internet bill and the car insurance bill for our three cars.

I'm not the poorest member here, but I will say I am definitely in the poor category. I work and go to school, and I use my extra spending money on shit that I like, if there is nothing I like at the moment, I save the money.

That being said, I love quality shit. I love good things. I work a lot for the things I want, and I appreciate them a lot. I like Band of Outsiders, Raf Simons, Veronique Branquinho, APC, W+H, etc. a lot of brands that are talked about a lot on these boards. I buy that shit because I know its build quality is made to last, and that the style is timeless.

As for who's the richest.. what about that guy that bought the $5000 wallet? Hahaha..

There are many ways for self-gratification but that does sound like a great step toward doing something good. I'd say if you want to feel rewarded in what you do, help yourself. Get a job and or go to school. Use that money to send over, save some for your crazy summers.

i do work as a receptionist for my dad on saturdays, which is only for about five hours. i still go to school, passed a year's worth of credit and parents think i've only failed one year's worth. i might have to make up some wild crap end of next year as to why i haven't graduated though...

one time i discontinued two subjects quite early and got the money my parents paid earlier for it, didn't tell them and just blew it on going out and random crap. i do plan and look forward to being a highschool teacher though which is quite weird. only subjects i've passed in uni are maths subjects and first year chem that i re-did in second year.

I work two jobs- and I live with my family part time, and with Diamonds' family part time. I don't make tons of money working, but I make enough that I can save some, and then spend some on things I want...

My parents don't pay for things day-to-day, and don't give me money but sometimes my dad buys me dresses...and my mom pays for my acting classes. I babysit my brother a lot, and help out with groceries at both houses.

I usually have around $400 in my bank account...so...I'm not rich, but I'm not poor either. I think the most expensive thing I've ever purchased is my $300 Ben Sherman coat. Hah!

Alright, I'll run a test.

Which of you are invested in real estate? Which of you have a Roth IRA that you've been contributing to since 18? Who has the cash flow to day trade with their own cash? Who doles out venture/angel capital?

When we get these answers (and possibly more), we'll undoubtedly have our richest SuFu'er. There are other ways to make money, but none of them are practical.

That post fails so hard.

This is superfuture. The wealthiest person here likely just has the biggest trust fund.

I'd like to point out that is not necessarily always true. I attend a private school in which some of Southern California / the world's wealthiest people attend and they are not always humble.

I went to what is arguably the best private school in Austria (on a partial scholarship though), and there were definitely examples of both.

If it makes any of you feel better, Werner Herzog's youngest son is one of the best people I have ever met. But then again so is Herzog.

Yes to the first, I blanked at all of the others.

Hopefully once I finish uni and interest rates will (presumably) have dropped to a nicer level property and land investments should become a pretty big part of my income, if not the main part.

Really? No other practical ways to make money. Amazing. Tell me more. (10)

i work clients with trust accounts, and tthose are some of the richest people around...with their royalties from oil and gas, real estate partnerships, and privatel owned companies.

people in the UK are automatically 2x richer than their US counterparts :(

if you live in NYC, you need to make 20% more than your counterparts in the other part of the cuntry. What some of my friends pay for mortgages in other parts of the US is generally about 1/3 of my rent in Brooklyn. Sad but true.....

this is an interesting thread, sometimes i look at the recent purchases thread and wonder how the fuck people afford this stuff and/or the massive amount of debt some people must be on.

me? i've got more assets than liabilities, if thats what it comes down to.

I'm not talking about making 7 figures. Any idiot with some drive can pull that shit off. People get lucky with a business hitting it big, the lottery, whatever. But the consistent way to do it is the ways that I mentioned. What I mean is that working for someone else or owning your own business (except for special circumstances) is not a productive way to get rich. A million dollars just isn't shit any more. This is not to imply that I have a million dollars, or do I have anywhere near that number. I spent 2 years as a Financial Planner with Citigroup and the folks who actually had money accumulated or money coming to them down the road had those bases covered. This is where my assessment is coming from. Can you come up with other ways? I'm sure you can.

I retroactively apologize for offending all of you beautiful people.

A-sky: trust funds are not some magical thing that allows people access to treasure troves of money. They're usually heavily regulated, in terms of the amount that someone can withdraw at a given point. Plus, they're usually distributed through an executor on a set schedule, so accessing it at will is difficult. Trust funds that are set up by most people are scheduled so that the person receiving the trust will not be able to blow it all in one shot. Folks that set up significant trust funds for their kids are not stupid enough to let them go crazy on their 25th birthday.

These are my main monthly expenses :( :( :(

Student loan payments - $1175

Food - $600-900 (actually not really sure)

Rent - $950

Utilities - $120

Car Insurance & Gas - $200

Taxes - too much

how do you have so much student loans a month? I'm assuming this is some sort of professional school seeing as it's so high.....

dunkin is the richest mfer I know. He's rich from his ebay empire.

I dont know about UK folk, they make slightly less money, and pay alot more taxes and their cost of living is much higher. But I guess they have more buying power whenever they visit the US.

I think its more like 40% for ny. Look at one br apartments, everything is in the 2500-3000 range. I dont think the rents are that high for a one br in delaware or phoenix.

I'd say people in Hong Kong, Japan, maybe South Korea as well, who make the same amount of money in the same fields are richer because their govts dont tax individuals for wisely investing their own money and they dont pay income taxes for the first 60-70k(HK) they make and oh yeah social security taxes are optional, hence celebrity endorsement commercials encouraging people to pay them.

I'm kinda like ProfMonitoff.

My parents are back home in Indonesia and they just send me monthly money.

For them, they feel obliged to finance their kid until they graduate from college.

I even believe they will still get me a house or a car or some other big gift when I get married.

I receive 1000 euros a month and it kinda goes like this..

room+bills: 400 eur

daily transport: almost nothing. cause I bike.

food: hmm.. 200 eur tops

phone: 40-100 eur

and basically that's it..

school tuition fee is already paid in advance in the beginning of every college year.

and whenever i feel like going on a holiday to some other countries i'll just give them a ring and they'll send me more money because they don't want me to use my monthly money. hehe.

i rarely go out but when i do i got my bf to pay for my drinks. ;)

so.. i can basically shop with whatever money i had left. and it's usually quite enough (around 200 eur). and to earn extra money i just do some babysitting job.

Damn you indo-chinese...are all you guys really that fucking rich, cos honestly every indo-chinese which i have known has always turned out to be some rich mofo wich some kinda empire back home in indo....no hate:D
