whether its due to a mate taking it all, destroying it all, or over a lie or lawsiit, IRS.....whatever reason...

how long do you think it would take you to rebuild to your current level?

financially, your sanity, confidence, trust...etc..

    I'm gone be real...it would take me a little while. A few years, maybe more. I'd sulk a little while. One thang for sure though...I'd get it back and get even more. ? a ? from the Sipp. The poorest state, least educated state...so I done seen hopeless. I seen it and have created my current empire after going through it. I keep that chip on my shoulder. Can't nothing deter me for too long

    About 2 years. I mean my sanity won't be shaken. I'm very grounded there since I don't get attached to anything. But in terms of finances and material possessions yeah about 2 years.

    Im pretty diverse in my all my forms of income, so for me to lose it all and come back to this point will take a few years. But thats if I have my job. If everything includes also losing my job, itll be much harder

    fortunately my sanity nor confidence is rooted in the material

    now if I were to lose my looks and become horribly disabled/disfigured.....that'll far more challenging

    With that way of thinking you can close the thread. Homie summed it up.

    Man I honestly in some ways would feel a hella lot better if everything was wiped out. Which is weird because I have a good amount of possessions I really like.

    Some would be unreplacable like my artwork but I could replace all the other things in about a couple years maybe

    When it comes down to it, all I got is some stories and an old springer spaniel. Got by on that before, I'd get by on that again.

    ...

    for me...I'm gettingback with 3 yrs.
    once I get some therapy.....to deal with whatever feeling I have from the situation. then I will fall back on all the ? I learned on my way up.

    I got plans in place to make sure this never happens to the fam. I myself have went through this twice in my life already. The first time it took me 3 years to get right. The second time it took me 5 plus years to get right. Before when it happened i was single with no kids so it was easier to get on my grind and come back up. Now i got a spoiled wife and kids so to get back to a level where everybody is comfortable is gonna take some serious time and sacrifice from eveybody. To be honest, i don't think they are built like that. Hope i never have to find out.

    Bruh I've been evicted and also been laid off multiple times with zero expectations and without a nest egg to my name. Also had some seemingly sound investments get flushed down the toilet. I didn't break then when I was even more immature. I certainly wouldn't have a mental break now.

    Granted everybody is different but losing everything and bouncing back without losing their mind isn't exactly a new rodeo for a lot of people. Especially after 2008.

    In any event best of luck to you with your current situation.
