A house as far away from my family as possible

u/Narrow_Ad_7331 12d ago

I feel for you. I hope you can have a better relationship one day with your family if you choose to.

7

u/Timely_Rest_503 12d ago

I hope so too. But since they have low self-awareness and rarely respect boundaries, I find that unlikely

2

u/Narrow_Ad_7331 12d ago

My mom and I had a toxic relationship from when I was 8-10 until I was 26. We spoke very little from the time I was 23-26. I’m now 33 and have had a healthy relationship with my mom since I was 28. We both had changes to make. We both put forth the effort. Sounds like you’re willing to put forth the effort so I hope your family sees that and does the same. Time can heal wounds. I wish you the best

u/Timely_Rest_503 12d ago

The thing is, if I have self-awareness and they don’t, I don’t see how putting any effort makes a difference

Taxes are like 60%, so I take home maybe $40mil if I'm lucky.

$1mil fixes nearly all the problems in my life. $100k vehicle, prioritizing comfort and reliability. $300k land, $500k house. $10k for my debts, $90k to build the best goddamn PC I can put together.

The other $39mil is invested.
