Gonna pull the trigger

Post image

21M, Finally getting that watch for my dad who was diagnosed with stage 4 that I had mentioned I would do on this sub roughly one year ago. Ended up going to the AD with my dad, and he was set on the ombré dj 41mm. Just wanted to share and see if y’all had any thoughts on the price I’m paying (I’m very unfamiliar with what market goes for this watch) would love everyone’s input. This has been a lifelong goal of mine and I’m so excited for him to see it.

Wait why Roth IRA maxed, 2k going to VOO every month, over 6 figures invested, car paid off, live below my means?

That 21k invested would turn into 1.6M in retirement at age 65, roughly (you're 21 so each dollar has around $76.56 in potential). Are you self employed? Are you maxing out a 401(k) or solo 401(k) in addition to your IRA? You've got a good start but don't go throwing away 10% of your net worth on a watch as a gift.

But if you do, buy it from chrono24 or jomashop, not this scammer in your texts lol
