I can’t build and paint stocks

My 16yo seems to be following this financial plan

Smart kid

The only other life financial investment he's mentioned is a really nice car because he'll never be able to afford a house

Yep. Bought a lot of board games during COVID, never regretted it once. Buying as many as we can now before tariffs take those too.

The original idea for the stock market was a good one, but over time it's morphed into a gambling casino that's rigged in favor of the big players.

why not buy shares in Games Workshop as well? That well you're making sure they hold their worth (a little bit, at least!)

Amazing fact to annoy your local Brexiteer: Games Workshop contributes more to the British economy than fishing.

Brainwave: drop containers of Warhammer figurines into the sea to boost the British fishing industry

fishing out a crate of 50 boxes of space marines is worth, let's see... about £1.8K? So that would definitely get people out there trying to dredge them up!

Are you trying to create a space marine version of that beach that gets all the Garfield phones on it?

TEFL (Teaching English as a Foreign Language) contributes more the the British economy than fishing.

All joking aside, only shares i own are Paradox Studios and Games Workshop. 😆

Building and painting models is much less stressful* than riding the highs and lows of the stock market

*with certain exceptions. Trying to correctly line up a Delaque Throwing Knife or grenade hand with the end of the arm is... an experience

this is my life logic

Not like anyone currently under 50 will ever be allowed to retire anyway.

Huh! I got through multiple economic crises by spending my money on whiskey, pot and nice footwear.

Still have the RM Williams.

Also some of my pile of opportunity has been out of stock so long that it's accumulated value. I'm sitting on grey gold!

I read something years ago that had a title like “just drink the latte”, which pointed out depriving yourself of small luxuries isn’t going to make much of a difference to your overall financial situation, despite what the press may say, so you might as well go ahead and enjoy your coffee.
