MD, someone called him out in the Retirement Forum regarding what he wrote here about his financials. He shared a very different financial situation in that Forum. The poster said that what he wrote on this thread was just sarcasm.

Thanks for that. Oh, wait. There are people who just make up stories about their incredible wealth on an anonymous internet forum? That seems to have become pretty common over the past several posts.

You would think people would have better stuff to do than make stuff up on the internet.

True, but you never know these days. Here in the Bay Area (as you are well aware), you have 25 year old multi-millionaires, who just happened to get in with the right start up at the right time. Sure, its not the majority of the population, but its more common than you think.

Agreed. Certainly possible. But still pretty rare. And I tend to think those people are generally too busy with other things than to be commenting about it on CD. Of course, I could be wrong.

I like how you say your income fluctuates but is roughly x-2x with a 100% margin

Yes, my income does fluctuate that much. I sold my company 3 years ago and have earn outs that are several hundred grand. If performance is poor which it has been last year and likely this year I forego my earn out.
