I dunno...I like my investments in stocks and bonds which increased 4.1% since the beginning of this year (54 days).
For the slow kids in the back of the class who are bad with math, that means for every $1,000 I had invested on Jan 1st, I now have $1,041.
I didn't even lift a finger (except to type this)

I've got a 9 month CD sitting at 5.4% interest.... I'm enjoying that along with my 4.9% savings account for my "monthly" spending.

Congrats @CoolMusic That is a nice pay day for a full day's work, even when you factor in the cost of gas. Who knows, you might be able to find some other nicely bonus shops along the way.
@maverick1 I am probably one of those slow kids in the back. Certainly the price appreciation is nice to have in those investments, but @CoolMusic is talking about earnings and you are talking about upward movement on paper which are two different things. I imagine that some of those investments even pay a dividend which I doubt was part of your calculation, but you might reinvest them at this time instead of receiving it in cash. @CoolMusic can use those funds from that work to buy some groceries, but you can't buy groceries with paper gains.
I think many here have investments as well and are using the money earned with MS to supplement income for a variety of reasons like buying food, paying bills, and to saving.
Speaking of investments, I have one that was up over 400% in 2 months. I trimmed a little and it continued higher another 7% after I sold a little. I have not sold any additional shares since and now I am up over 300% without lifting a finger. But that gain is only on paper on the remaining shares. A position isn't a winner or a loser until you close it.

Yeah, those slow kids with math...
4.1% YTD is almost 28% APR. That's for everything combined in my portfolio. I laugh at anything under 10% unless it's zero risk. I also realize that this rate of increase (28%) is not typical, but almost 10% is for the S&P500 index.
Not bragging or anything...just sayin'

And when that bubble bursts, then what?

Yeah, 'cause there isn't any other tangential topics like the "name game", or "what are you having for dinner", etc. on this forum. Me thinks there are just some folks who are unable to comprehend other points of view or adjacent commentary. Hey, I use coupons sometimes and negotiate listed prices too. Mystery shopping is just another avenue along those lines.

So, in a separate thread? Not in a thread about gas station shops?
