$600K of that is “equity” in a private company. You never know when the company will go public or with what valuation.
I can’t sell equity in a private company to exchange for goods and services like I can stock that gets deposited in my brokerage account every six months.

There are exceptions right? Stripe isn't public yet I'm pretty sure there are ways to sell the stock that's accrued. I remember something about them opening up a way to sell your shares and since I get pinged on LinkedIn every so often about it I'm assuming it's a thing.
