If I hit 2 million in net worth I'm done working. I don't plan on having a family, so I'm just supporting myself. If I really made a ton of money I'd fund interesting open source games. Godot is the most popular open source game engine, and they're making it happen off just 40k a month. I'm a bit surprised Microsoft hasn't filled the void here. What's a few million dollars a year to get new programmers fully invested in a .net first game engine?

Worked in HFT. But tbh everyone I know in FAANG who stuck it out is doing even better.

I've actually worked in finance for a bit, but I'm also content with where I'm at.

I don't this have a realistic chance at HFT though. Doesn't stop me from applying and dreaming...
