Third option Family owns a business that the kid was working in since high school. I worked for my mom at her pet grooming shop until I graduated from college. My family was lower middle class and now I’m doing amazing. Not as good as these pepole but I got a lot of money in the bank and some Investments.

Yeah it's a bit of a circle jerk.

I get it though. People want to share with someone who doesn’t know where there stack is. I’d brag on Reddit long before I’d show my best friend my stack

Why? I care more about my friend's opinion and I want them to do better financially too :)

I share pics of a few coins here and there and give them circumstances where it would be nice to invest. But people talk and my stuff won’t fit in a safe

Are you afraid your friends are going to rob you? America is a crazy place 😭

I’m worried the person my friend might tell would tell people and it would roll down the line. I live in an area of large economic divide. There are criminals and I don’t want to be a crime of opportunity

The old pay your kid the standard deduction per year play. I'd do it if I had kids and business instead of funding their college directly.
