Professor or neroden, have you started a thread for this yet? I want to see a discussion on KJ's motivation and this Forum is collegial and informed enough to discuss.
Tesla builds amazing products and encourages competition to benefit everyone and advance the plan. That will always be its superiority. Microsoft created tolerable products and in later years complete dreck and used monopoly to eliminate all competition. Tesla will never be Microsoft.

Never count your profits, while sitting at the table ....., or do you mean real profit where you've sold stock?I was too busy counting my profits today, sorry.

I'll probably work until I reach an investable portfolio of $500 with an extra $50 set aside to draw interest
It might change we'll see
10.5 more years before I turn 60 whichever comes first
I did however cut down from working 7 days a week to only 5 since last month and seems like a vacation
Medical profession is basically a non scalable profession and it does wear you down a bit

I have started several businesses, some more successful than others, and each one was all about passion and romance, otherwise I would have gone crazy! And I am still alive today to tell the story and very comfortable in my retirement.

You've got to know when to hold 'emI was too busy counting my profits today, sorry
Know when to fold 'em
Know when to walk away
And know when to run
You never count your money
When you're sittin' at the table
There'll be time enough for countin'
When the dealin's done

Apparently so, and on the Market Action thread no less.
That's OK
I made plenty of money
Watching TSLA go up is entertainment enough
I also took a shot selling some calls @ 385 for next Friday
If they execute, I hit a new ATH
If they don't, I pocket the dividend and keep my shares
In four years, I never rooted for TSLA to not go up
So NK did me a favor (maybe) by launching a missle
But they may need to do a few more tests before next Friday
There will be opportunities for more cat fights in the future

I have been heavily influenced by the book, "The Millionaire Next Door."

I like nice things for sure, but it's really not the material items that give you happiness. On the flip side, not having to worry about paying your mortgage sure takes a lot of stress off. Finish retirement home, put 10kW of solar and 200kWh of storage, get some goats, and work on music... That's about all I need. (I can settle with my 2x Model 3s, assuming I get AWD versions for the dirt road to the place.)
If your goal is to have financial freedom (not about private jets), $50~$100 should be enough. Put all of it into a broad index, you will get 2% dividend per year. That's 1~2 m income a year.

My personal objective is F400 so I'll continue to risk it all no matter how big the numbers get
It's all just a game

I read that book when I was 30. Decided to make it by 40
Did it by 38
Then lost it all
Did it again 10X over in another 10 years
The book is good for upto $10 in a lifetime
If you want more or faster then the book is useless

I've been retired for eight years now. I find that swing trading takes the place of a "steady income" quite nicely. I'll likely pay more in taxes this year than I ever earned in a year of programming. Think about that.

So odd.
We're up a bunch today and people are tense to the point of throwing measurements. (reminder: it's not the meat it's the motion).
Going to hang out at the "We survived a HORRIBLE accident Thanks to our Tesla" thread. But first... hands together... eyes closed....breathe.
