That is stupid. I'd live as cheaply as I could and bank as much as possible. No telling how long that $20k per month salary will last.

I'd rent a room for $400 a month (or less), and makes sure to cash (not deposit) each check, then convert it into real usable assets - guns, ammo, prep supplies, barter supplies.

why rent when you can invest in your own piece of real estate?
then every month your money goes into your own stuff.

$20K/month W2'd could mean you're netting $12K-$14K/mo, which means you're blowing way too much money on rent. $200K/year isn't a ton of money.

Now if you're saying that you net $20K/month, I'd still probably suggest against it. When I was young (early 20's), I was making much more than that and still rented a place for $1K/month and lived by the beach. No need to waste money, invest it!!

No. Rent for 1k and put the rest away. 4k buys you 5 AK47s or liquor enough to throw the biggest house party of the year. It buys you a weekend in Vegas every month with a high class hooker for about 3 hours or a gutter slut for the full weekend. You could rent a billboard for a month that says "Fuck you all" to everyone going down the highway.

When you think of what you can do with 4 large the possibilities are amazing.

Find something for $3000. Then send me $1000 a month at [email protected] so I can rent something for $500 and spend the other $500 to get drunk. And you save $1000 in total - Not a bad deal!

for someone making 20k a month, you need to learn how to handle money. 5k rent would be foolish...what huge addition is being added to your life for that amount of money?

Lol, you think you own something by paying with promissory debt notes. That's funny how most people think they own stuff.

How? I got a good story that involves $500 (that's right I borrowed $500 at 21), a property tax auction and impeccable market timing. I was making nearly seven figures by 25.

Anything is possible!! Get out there and connect with people, be honest and work with integrity. Help others in your area of expertise for no other reason than to simply give back. I don't care if you're rich or broke. You'll gain respect and trust this way.

I'm in my 30's now and life is still amazing. I'm still working smart, always thinking outside the box and challenging my own intelligence. I don't care about the economy because whether we have a revolution or 20 years of instability, I'll find an honest opportunity.

Don't just learn one thing, learn many and want to do so. If someone asked you how to do something, Google it, figure it out and then get back to them with the answer. You'll learn a lot that way and help others in the process!!

I love hearing success stories like this. If I can give you any advice, be wise with your money. Invest wisely, don't drive a fancy car and don't let money get to your head!! It will give confidence, just don't let that confidence turn into arrogance!

It's stupid.

Who knows how long one can continue to make $20,000 a month.

Better to save the extra money for a rainy day.
