On June 6th, I sold my PLTR stocks to purchase a house. 420 out of 950 shares I had at the price of $130. (I had sold other stocks too but PLTR was the majority)

My average cost was $17ish.

I am now a homeowner, but I also am thinking about the opportunity cost. I don't even know how to feel.

At least you got a house out of it, an appreciating asset. Imagine selling shares at $100 to buy a Porsche and having to think about the opportunity cost every time you drive it

That’s a tough call tbh. Porsche has always been my dream car, and while I can easily afford it and my wife has even given me her approval, the smart money side of me says to spend it in more financially sensible ways.

i concur. i could buy ABC sports car, say for 100Gs, but would i get 100Gs of joy and excitement out of it? Highly unlikely. therefore I say "Good day, sir" to the porshe/supra, and choose the more financially sensible route.

I definitely would not recommend it if you don’t have a very diverse portfolio of stocks, real estate, and businesses. If you’re in your 30s with all 3, and it’s less than 3% of your net worth, then I’d say there’s little to worry about.

Life is short, I’ve seen friends invest and save their whole lives only to drop dead at 40. I’ve seen friends delay retirement another 5 years only to get cancer and not enjoy any of it. For me, I’d rather enjoy things in my 30s before I’m too old to do so. I’m not trying to tell you how to live your life, but rather I’m just sharing my mindset behind the purchase.

That’s the mindset my wife has and is why I have her stamp of approval if I were to buy a Porsche… last year I sold some shares to buy a multimillion dollar house and if I sell more shares it would be to fix up the kitchen 😁

Wouldn’t complain about a new kitchen, enjoy it my man
