grew up poor AF
made lots of money and lost alot due to bad investments
been on both sides

you really only need like 1k a week to be happy
only so much food you can eat
a lambo is just a car after driving it daily
once you bang enough sloots the novelty goes away

if you think im frauding how do you explain celebs who have millions and commit suicide ?

Celebs are a really bad example, they're fuked in the head. They have no privacy and are not treated like normal people. I guarantee you the more low key rich people are extremely happy.

The problem is you're focusing on the things in life that don't really matter. When I was a kid I had hopes and dreams. We all did. But over time, the daily grind gets in the way and you miss the things that really matter, even though they are right in front of you, staring you in the face. I think the next time you should ask yourself "Am I on the right track here?". I don't mean to be rude but people like you I really pity. So maybe you could use the few brain cells you have and take advantage of the knowledge I have given you now. Good luck.

Money isn't the end all. Everyone has their motivation or drive. However freedom is typically on everyone's list. Stuck in a dead end, you gotta do what ya gotta do. Make ends meet. Different than having an exit event which gives you the flexibility to cruise or start another journey without the dog breathing down your neck.

I could care less about being happy , I’m more concerned with being hungry and homeless .

that's not a fair comparison. celebrities commit suicide because they literally have zero privacy and are constantly judged on the internet and real life and a lot of them resort to drugs too.

being rich is true freedom, the ability to do whatever you want without worrying. no one wants to be a 9-5 workcel their entire life.

In and of itself, no. It's an instrument to gain happiness through experiences.

Money makes a massive difference if you know how to use it. For example hiring life coaches, getting massages, personal trainers, hanging out with higher quality people? chefs for the healthiest food, low stress, can travel and get more experiences, are more attractive to the opposite sex so you’re less lonely, etc.



You really don’t think those things would make you happier? I don’t believe you.

nobody says work a 9-5
start a business
trade stocks
invest in real estate

the issue i see is everyone is chasing a 9-5 and a career for money building a 401k then end up dying with like 400k

I think it’s mostly females that feel unhappy despite having everything. Probably because their brains are wired for chaos,and can’t handle when things are going smooth for very long.
Just look at marriages for instance . You can give a Sloot everything, but they’ll leave you for Tyrone just because they feel bored because there’s never a crisis and things have gotten boring .
I don’t require a chit storm everyday to get by , but for some reason sloots do .
Ever here sloots talk to they’re sloot friends? It’s always the same chit,I don’t think Bob is a good match for Susan etc .
They are always medaling in other people’s affairs because of their own lame ass life .

All I need a 5000 sqft shop and a fridge full of beer and I’m content

It doesn't make you happy, but it gives you freedom if you have enough.

And it's definitely better than being a poorcel living paycheck to paycheck.

I agree with the premise. Too many people think, if I just had more money my life would be better. However, they don't look at the underlying reasons of why they're in fact unhappy. Money doesn't change mental health/personal irresponsibility or bad. decisions

Agreed. That's because a lot won't do what a few will. Comfortability is very real. Nothing wrong with that because IDGAF what everyone else is doing. Playing the Joneses game, especially that of a strong emphasis on materialism gets a lot of people in deep. Plenty of thousandaires that are doing more harm than good. Always chasing with the same result. Empty feeling I'd imagine.

If they liked the security and don't want to cross the line with a zero risk policy, more power to em. Not my style but I respect it. Cruisin is a game many play but happiness has all sorts of walks of lives. Some just choose to be happy regardless of the burden. I've seen it both ways too so I can't disagree either way. There's a right way of doing it and some really wrong ways.

Investment vehicles are always wise, especially multiple. However some are not a form to build wealth but to preserve, but we all know this. I hope.

You are not wrong, but having money and no need to work allows you to keep life fresh. I’d personally just travel for like a year straight. I could do that now.
