Earn out

Has been extremely painful but man it feels good. Can’t tell anyone irl other than my FA so sharing here. Debating whether to try to retire instead of grinding out another few years

(This is all pre tax and in CA so a lot less than it seems

It's beating a dead horse around these parts, but I just looked up what $8-10M gets you in the Bay Area these days. E.g. https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/161-Primrose-Way-Palo-Alto-CA-94303/19468864_zpid/

LJL at $9.5M for that

LJL at $3k in insurance + $10k in property tax for it, per month, every month, forever

And LJL that the boomers who currently live there pay less than half of that in property tax per month

When you have a successful exit, it becomes much easier to print money in the future by pretending you have the playbook to hit it big again. You would be stupid not to try. What else are you going to do if you’re under 40.

With kids and wanting an 8-10 million dollar house, you need to keep grinding for a few more years brother. 25 mil is basically 12 in CA after state/fed tax, after 8 mil for the house, that leaves you 4 mil which maybe will be enough to send your kids to college in 2035 which means you're poor again.

Have you considered not being a faggot and squandering so much of your earnings on an overpriced piece of shit house? All of your reasoning ITT is premised on the need to get assfucked by expensive real estate and it’s clear you’ve bought into that idea and keep convincing yourself it’s necessary (when it isn’t). If you drop that premise you’ll be able to come up with a better plan and have more capital to work for you. Also, and relatedly, do not assume just because you did this once that you’ll be able to do it more, or again—I’ve seen plenty of bros get fucked by that assumption. You might, but it’s better to set yourself up financially so you have flexibility and don’t need that outcome to obtain to be good with where you are (which circles back to my first point about not hanging an albatross real estate purchase around your neck as you get your exit).

And there it is. Like many other fags I know in CA you’ve brainwashed yourself into thinking it’s appropriate to blow $10m on a house (and erode a significant portion of your potential working capital) because “that’s just how it is.” How about you sack the fuck up and stay in your current house rather than consuming a bunch of your exit money on some overpriced shitbox. Use the money to set yourself up financially for life so you don’t HAVE to grind. And then, if you really want to go for some 8-figure estate, repeat what you just did, if you can, and then you can squander some money. You’re acting like a ghetto rat with your thinking just at a different level of wealth. Take off the handcuffs and open up your eyes.

You’re being glib ITsubthread because I’m challenging your psychological premise (blow money on house is necessary) and it doesn’t feel good. Maybe unbelievably to you, I’m saying this out of a desire to see you maek it in a deep and sustainable way. I’d urge you to at least think about what I’m saying, if you’re able to. You have an opportunity that very few people get and it would be boneheaded to do what you’re proposing to do.

You sure bro? I’m all for tax avoidance but this doesnt seem feasible

“ California followed suit in 2023 when Gov. Gavin Newsome signed a bill effectively banning ING trusts. As PwC noted in its explanation of the law, the state now treats California residents who transfer assets into ING trusts as the owners of those entities and subjects distributions from the trusts to state income taxes”

that's new to me, i'll read into it and give my take. even if he doesn't do a ning, if his liquidity event hasn't happened yet and pushes into 2026, he needs to hie himself to tx, fl, or some similarly low/no tax state for 2026.

Congrats. Based on your comment re $8M house I'm guessing you're gung ho on Hillsborough or somewhere on the Peninsula? Because you'd be right it doesn't seem like it's worth trading up from a $2.5M property till you approach the $7-8M properties, it's the cruel nature of the area. But if I were in your shoes I'd be aiming at a $5M max property, even less. You can get a very pleasant house in East Bay (Piedmont, Orinda etc) or Marin for that and wisely invest the rest and probably just retire.

Living in an $8M house means you'll feel the pressure to have a lifestyle that matches, which means you'll probably spend a lot more than you anticipate. $8M houses are for people worth $50M+ and with multiple properties. Not someone with 50% of their assets tied up in one house.

I think Hillsborough/Atherton etc is bullshit IMO - I know it’s an unpopular opinion but if you have kids I think Half Moon Bay/Pacifica is better. Almost every person I know who grew up in those insanely wealthy areas is fucked up.

Seconded on the east bay though. If you pick the right area (Piedmont/Kensington) there are some very nice homes; but the issue is the culture especially if you have kids…but then again that’s more of an endemic issue in the area.

There’s always Marin too.
