Didn't you hear? Hammer and Sickle Crew is winning. Enjoy the gravy train while you can.

OP is a clinical narcissist.

Don't know why anybody ITT even bothers responds to him. He will never accede anything, because he can't. It's literally an untreatable condition

Some folks are able to discuss issues, whereas you clearly cannot.

And you cannot because you have been coping with the fact that you didn't even hug a woman until you were 27, yet LARP here on this forum as a great judge of character and values.

A classic case of the delusion and COPE I cite in the OP. But perhaps your IQ is ill-equipped to get it?

Hope that clarifies the OP, which you should perhaps read a second or third time since you clearly couldn't understand that the first.

I wonder why it is so hard for poorer folks to understand. Or could it perhaps be there's a strong correlation between education, income, and participation in society? Hrm.

And what 'status quo' do you refer to?
Status quo: going to work every day to be able to live.

You don't state you are offended, but the fact that you made this thread and several of your posts reveal that you are seething. The fact that you have named yourself "LogicalLifts" and yet you are ad homming left and right, going after the spelling of consoom, and throwing other non-logical arguments is funny in itself. You write eddiehaskel is a peasant and that you are a mogger, which most of us would agree with (it is after all misc where mogging is a thing), however you are not content with that but want (need?) us to agree that your lifestyle is better than his-and we simply won't lol. The amount of copium you're ingesting in here and when you're not raging on your way to work must be off the charts.

"Going to work to be able to live" is the cope that I targeted in my OP. The entire rest of your post is the indication that you (plural) are upset.

From virgins giving detailed sex advice to folks who are so traumatized by "work" that they need to check out of society, what we see here is a sea of cope. You call that "ad hominem" but it is merely a statement of fact, as others have pointed out too. You cannot speak on behalf of the forum - there is no "us". And folks like you seem upset whenever I make a thread because, frankly, it stings.

Nice try with the projection- it doesn't hold. The infantile "you mad" is trivially shown to be the issue of another group on this forum. The LARPing irrelevantcels.

I consider myself a "loophole guy"...

If I can get more perceived value out of something than what it costs, I jump on it.

For example, people buying chit-tier houses right now in Phoenix at hyper-inflated prices with 7% interest are NOT getting any value here.

I'd be sitting on my hands if I was in the market. When I see a "sold" sign I wonder who TF is buying this garbage right now.

What you mention there sounds like a good investment strategy.

On housing I mean, my wife calls some of those places paper mache houses. No wonder some insurance companies pulled out of Florida, srs.

The world needs folks in the rat race like OP. I prefer to exit as soon as humanly possible and focus on my passions and things that i enjoy doing workwise. I could easily live off of the interest 1.5 million dollars produces for the rest of my existence. Once your house is paid for, and all you have to pay for is food, electric, and property tax, life is on easy mode. I will happily drive OP's "old" lexus that he bought new and took all the depreciation on. When he trades it in, ill drive it another 10 years and love it lmao. If you shift your mindset to not needing the best car, the newest tech, etc. you will be SO much more happy.

I meant this man: "If I can get more perceived value out of something than what it costs, I jump on it." As your strategy.

On what you're saying: it is a sickness, one we will see the full outcome of in another 6 years or so.

The world does indeed need folks working. It also needs tradies like you to fix a broken pipe in any one of my investment properties.

Glad you so look forward to checking out, but your baseless assumptions are the pinnacle of cope.

Maybe if you had tried harder you wouldn't have such a bitter mindset when it comes to participating in society? You have much to learn, hence the OP's point on "advice".

Why does it matter? Some people are content living simply and frugally.

I certainly don't take it to the extremes described in OP, but overall I am pretty minimalist and very content living that way.

some people need validation that the massive amount of time they spend working in the rat race and all they work for is worth it. They hate the idea that some people could work less and have less yet "beat them" in a way.

You have spent over a decade, over multiple forums, posting the same choice over and over again, 10s of thousands of times.

You're projecting your own need for validation on others. And given your dedication to it, you're the one squirming here. Equanimity eludes you, but is my "status quo".

Good question. If someone has achieved equanimity would he:

1) have a child being raised by extended family because he can't handle or afford it;
2) have 10s of thousands of posts over the last decade across multiple forums advocating for this choice; and
3) be incapable of explaining why beyond "i hate work and people"?

A happy life does ^ not indicate. So the OP was clear here - why do these folks feel so compelled to try to provide financial advice when they are singularly ill equipped to do so? Like virgins on this forum speaking of the female orgasm, lol.

Why? Indeed. Why do they care so much?

Do y'all know each other IRL or something?

Crazy to me that some miscers seem to keep up with other posters across multiple alts.

Also that Gen Z people are ages 11 to 26.




Just because nice chart. And because the oldest Millenials/Gen Y are 44 now.

Anachron put up a helpful summary the other day.

Testifier was also outed for having done his LARPing shtick across multiple forums with 10s of thousands of posts.

Crazy? Yeah, that some folks are so caught up in their embittered, desperate delusion.

I've developed quite the seething following over the years. I remember when I first retired a lot of seething people told me I'd be broke in 10 years by retiring early. But I flourished. Some of them turned into stalkers following me to multiple forums. When people build their entire self worth on money they get furious when others check out of the rat race and don't play the game anymore.

Pick one.

You're just like incels (and there is some overlap here). Do you think folks in loving relationships with flourishing sex lives are seething because some folks can't achieve that?

Let it sink in - lol.
