Holy shit talk about a humble brag. You overpaid by $21k? You must be balling.

  At a 15% rate, that's only 140k in capital gains. Significant, but hardly "balling" if it's a one-time event.

    What world do you live in where $140k in gains on an investment is not a huge amount of money?

      Silicon Valley... Would it be nice to have an extra $140k? Yeah. Would it be life changing in any way? Not really. I still wouldn't even be able to afford to buy a house.

    USA minimum wage is $7.25/hr which is only $15K/year if you work full time, and we've got people that will refer to 140K and prepend it with "only".
