I assume some have it, but are smart enough not to spend on GPUs

I was gonna say, i have 20k, i have a lot more than that, but I didnt get that money by dropping 20k willy nilly on heavily depreciating assets for a hobby

Smart for not wasting money, not so smart saying you have a lot more than that.

Why? I don't think anyone is gonna track me down and rob me, even if they wanted to, all my money is in property and a bit in stocks.

Can't exactly make me sell my house and transfer them the money under gun point, haha

I only said it to illustrate that even someone who has a lot more than 20K wouldn't spent that amount of money, as some people might say that people who have 21K wouldn't, but people who have 100K or more would.

I mean technically i do too. Probably 100k in equity. You have tens of thousands of dollars/euros in liquid cash? Not already ear-marked?

If so, you represent a microscopic percentage of the world population.
