What did you make?

>>19008862
Yes.

>>19008862
>So, this is making it?
not if you dont get off this board and go make friends

>>19008862
Sadly yes.
It's lonely at the top. That is why you have to try to build up those that are close to you. Or you will have no one to share your wealth with.

>>19008862
Get a wife and kids.

>>19008862
At least you have your own quiet place and dont have to wagecuck all day. We can switch any time you want op

>>19008881
that's true but at this rate i'll day 15 years earlier then you

>>19008862
When I make it, my aim is to make my immediate family happy.
e.g. pay off my mortgage to make my wife happy, pay off my brother's mortgage, buy my dad a holiday home, ...

We are a strange species. Happiness is always only temporary. You always fool yourself into thinking: once I have money, I will be happy. Once I have a wife and kids, I will be happy, once I have the next better house, I will be happy, once I achieve this or that, I will be happy. It is not true. We are never happy.
And then we die.

>>19008904
yes, and then what?

Worst choice of all, alcohol depress the system, try do many things, yoga, exercise, meditation, read that stimulates the body and soul for when you are bored become a contemplative state and not a doomsday like feeling

Health = wealth

We spend our whole lives accumulating wealth only to spend it on getting our health and youth back, start exercising and taking care of the only gains that really matter, your health.

>>19008925
Then continue to raise my child(ren), enjoy watching my brother raise his, get together for barbecues, holidays, ... go on trips together (since he doesn't have to work much anymore), take my wife and kid(s) on trips, ...
Basically make the rest of my and their lives into a holiday.

>>19008862
How much do you have?

>>19008936
Do you know how quickly that gets boring? And how soon you get sick of those around you, no matter how much you love them?

>>19008862
i sorta made it around age 27, had enough money in cash that i could basically do nothing for at least 20-30 years if I wanted and be able to live a middle-class lifestyle (so nothing luxurious or crazy)

I basically did fuck all for about 4 years, from 27 to 31, lived like a NEET in my own condo. Eventually I had a mental breakdown, bored beyond belief, became nihilistic as hell, didn't care about anything, and was able to rationalize away any help anyone tried to give me.

Decided to go back to college, finished my degree, and now intentionally and willfully working a job again just because it keeps me sane and adds structure to my life.

Call me an idiot if you want for not being able to find that structure independently without the need for a regular job, but I couldn't last for more than 4 years before I was ready to kill myself despite having a low seven figure nest egg.

I feel like I have balance in life now. Having money in the bank is still a huge benefit since it allows me to work my day job without fear of losing it (because it wouldn't ruin me), so I can maintain a healthy amount of swagger and personal freedom, basically without having to take much shit from anyone, "fuck you" money I guess?

But ya, point is that "making it" to where you just sit at home all day doing nothing isn't a very good life, not for long anyway.

How did you make it?

>>19008932
Alcohol numbs me out. There is nothing else but the pleasure of being numb.

>>19008972
Personally I don't need much to be happy, especially in terms of money.
But when a very important person in my life died I realized I could've been using my talents to make her life better while her health deteriorated.
Making other people's lives better is what makes me happy, so that's the only thing I want to do now for my closest circle.

>>19009002
nice, thanks, good read.

>>19009018
a number of things. Selling a bussines, inheritance, crypto. Combination

>>19008862
that's what dumb people do

intelligent people read philosophy and poetry, make music, learn to play multiple instruments, learn to cook like pro, paint,

>>19009119
And none of it will make them happy.

>>19008909
You are right. Humans are the cucks of nature. Working to please someone else. I think it would be nice to be a an animal. Maybe a cow. What makes a cow happy> Walking around all day eating grass, and that's what she does. Then before she goes senile and becomes a burden she gets shot in the head and turned into burgers. Truly a blessed existence.

>>19009134
It makes me happy and I’m a NEET doing it for free. I’ve also periods where I was fucking miserable and wanted to die as a NEET, but that was before I found a creative hobby that made me feel like I had something to work towards. I was incredibly anxious being a wagie. Getting yelled at for being shit at something (too slow in a fast food pizza chain lmao) I am not even interested in by someone who brags about working in the pizza industry for 14 years. I think jobs just fill people with a sense of purpose that they COULD find by themselves if only they had the time and means. It takes a lot of time and perseverance though to stick to a hobby (especially a creative one, since it’s so easy to get discouraged when you start out bad) as an adult, but it’s much more rewarding than waging imo.

>>19009119

>>19009119
cringed IRL

>>19009033
Is there ever a time in life when you just stop caring and reach pure numbness? My neurotic mind has me thinking about the same stupid thing for months now and I just want to stop hurting and being angry. I don't even care about making it or having a family or friends I just want to not feel.

Do you have any hobbies?
Get a dog. You'll feel bad if you dont walk him

>>19009002
yep, as ppl we need purpose to be happy. same nihilistic/depressing mood happens with bilzerian too, apparently

>>19008862
cease all consumption of alcohol immediately.
it will not end well for you anon.

>>19009340
probably a good first step

I don't get how anyone can be bored or lonely. I could just sit and cloudgaze my entire life and feel content. Sadly, I lack the money to do so.

depressed richfags make me happy. yes its coming from seething jealousy and envy but at least im not a boring retard.

Why don't you use your freedom to the fullest?
You have the money to basically do anything you want and make life an awesome experience. Dude wtf. You can make a pilots licence right now or you can hop on the next plane (after quarantine) into some paradise and learn to surf or whatever seems awesome to you. The problem is you mate

>>19008862
That was me in the lockdown anon
Over last 8 weeks never drank as much vodka and wine.
I’m getting back into gym when it opens Thursday
Recommend it for substituting booze etc and getting healthy lifestyle and eating habits
+ occasionally you meet and talk to fine chicks
Which really lifts you
Get a goal I’m an amateur competitive Powerlifter

>>19009002
You’re worse than an idiot. Imagine having a small seven figure nest egg only to go waste your time work cucking. You and op are the worst kinds of people and if you can’t see why there is no hope for you. You realize there are people sitting alone for years broke as shit basically doing the same as you and op who have jack shit for money? And they still manage to not have a complete breakdown? Wasting all that potential to “go to work” my fucking gosh. Just give it away you pathetic insect

>>19009578
calm down Padmesh

>>19009648
>inheritance

Ah explains a lot

You know I’m right about all of what I said. I’m not fully retired but I’ve had the luxury to take a break for the last 4 years From waging and let me tell you, something is seriously wrong with spiritually if you are free from wagecucking and can’t get it together. Best 4 years ever, sure it’s not utopia but life is so much easier, I have time to make mistakes and to figure shit out. Give it all away op you don’t deserve it. Go back to work You pathetic faggot

>>19009720
So, what did you do in those 4 years?

>>19008862
Read "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle.

>>19009851
good book yes, i'll reread it

>>19008862
That's what bums do, not people who made it.

>>19008862
Beer is bad for you.
Why not drink wine? Much healthier.

>>19009799
a bunch of nothing for a lot of the time (which was glorious), going for walks, reading, relaxing, cooking good meals, talking with friends/family about important stuff for hours. i could live like that the rest of my life and be perfectly content., not that there wouldn't be any suffering, there always is.

I've also went to about 7 different countries, did a lot of skiing, learned to sail, a lot of motorcycle trips (road a motorcycle through the Himalayas even), worked on projects to try to generate passive income (websites, small biz investments, etc), spent extended time with siblings helping them with their kids, spent a lot of time with my grandmother, helped friends work on home improvement projects, did favors for people that one could never do without all this free time.

Sounds to me like you always had it pretty easy, maybe that's the problem. I've had to work to sustain myself since i was a teenager up until i had a big crypto windfall. Grow the fuck up man, stop drinking and go do something with your life or at the least, enjoy not having to go be someone else's bitch 40 hours a week, holy fucking hell

>>19008862

Here's some ideas
>start a garden
>play monster hunter world

Moving your body and satisfying your hunting instincts will help. Watching things grow is nice too.

>>19009974
Thanks, lockdown obviously doesn't help. Always had an easy life yes.

What annoys me about rich kents that are depressed is that the money helps regardless if youre a schizoid ted or an shy incel.
If you are rich and you can not improve your life you are a degenerate coward.
Meanwhile there is people on here who work 60 hour weeks just to minimise their net loss of wealth per week just because they were born i to it.

Drugs is garbage, if you haven't learned that much then you are a cuck.
Back to the drawing board.

>>19008862
>oh no I’m rich and bored

I’m living in a van from the 90’s that’s about to shit the bed, harassed by police for sleeping in my car, have $88 in my checking account and I’m basically in the same depressed mental state as you are. I lost my job and can’t find work because of this chink flu, I have nobody to go to for help, not even family.
Op, your pain is real but you have no idea what it’s like to truly suffer on levels you can’t even imagine. I have kidney stones but can’t risk going to get a massive emergency bill so I have to just hope for the best. I unironically shit in a trash bag and have to shower with a bucket in the cold because everything is closed.
I also have 2 pinched discs in my back from working labor most of my life. The pain is about an 8 daily but I can’t afford to do anything and I don’t want to take pills and become addicted.

I would trade a kidney and probably other body parts to have 30% of your wealth just so I could take care of my health.

You wanna feel good? Here, make someone else’s day:

having a wife and kids suck. don't ever do it. spread your wings and fly. go to thailand. take drugs fuck whores , do lines of cuck. fuck trannies

>>19008878
>Become a cuck and acquire liabilities

>>19010502
>Begging.

>You'll never make it with that attitude.

>Youre not appreciating your potential.

You have nothing to hold you down. You can go anywhere, do anything.

>Pick a skill, get good at something.

>Start a vlog and make content

>Become a bank robber

>Become a drug mule and work your way up the ranks for a drug cartel

>Sell things on Ebay that you dont actually own

>Or do risky bets with other people's money on robinhood

>go on interstate roadtrips, knocking up random women as you go (make sure to use a fake name)

> I make like 70k and it sucks knowing im relatively stuck where I'm at. I dont have the kind of freedom you do. The sky is the limit, you have nothing to lose bro.

>>19009002
This is why all those successful self-made retired millionaires always go back to business after a few years.

I don't blame you, but at least you could have gone back to work by working for yourself, not for someone else.
You probably made it with crypto, so you don't know anything about business and that's why you got a job, am I wrong?

>>19010031

in the meantime with the lock down just try to get the fuck out of your house. buy a mid grade RV and cross the country. buy sailboat, learn to run and then coastal cruise a few states down. have an adventure. when things open up try doing something to re-set your serotonin, you need to become actually bored for a few weeks, meaning no phone no pc no porn no booze. try a monastery or intense meditation retreat, you'll be so bored for weeks on end that coming out into the world will be exciting again. Reset your brains serotonin function, maybe get good with God too.

Also, you are likely an alcoholic, from what it sounds with drinking beer all day. seriously try going to AA fro the fuck of it.

Good luck OP. Unironically don’t kill your self please. Live a good life instead

>>19009036
Bro you sound like you’ve found meaning and happiness through love and family. Until people have felt that, they won’t understand how it doesn’t just “get boring.” Nothing but the best wishes to you and your family bro. My goals align with yours. Just want to comfortably stat my life with my fiancé.

>>19010929
Same to you.
Once you find happiness in others, everything else is just a bonus. Especially money.

>>19008878
shut the fuck up you god damn retard. miserable parents are found literally EVERYWHERE. it doesn't fulfill you.

>>19011717
In my experience, most parents are happy and love their children. You're just looking for the unhappy ones because your life is miserable and you want everyone else to be as miserable as you.

>>19008862
god i wish that were me

>>19010652
lmao

>>19010087
Get back to your drooling board, idiot.

>>19009002
Posts like this piss me off so much because it reminds me of how fucking boring normies are. Imagine having freedom and not knowing what to do with it. This is the definitive NPC post.

>>19009295
hi zoomer ya heard of pink floyd

>>19010502
Destroyed your dignity with those last couple of lines.

>>19009119
>people criticizing this
This is exactly why you want to make it. To have time to do the things that you WANT to do and make you fulfilled. You missed having a family though anon. Creating art and pursuing truth is no fun if you have no one to enjoy it with

>>19012364
this.

>>19010502
Feelbadfren
Can't you ask for some kind of handicap bux? You should fap on charturbate and hope for gaybux or some other shit.

>>19009119
Faggot shit

>>19010652
The man in the glass, Dale Wimbrow.

Excellent choice.

>>19009266
Yeah you’re right. I’ve worked on a few projects myself that have taken 100s of hours. With lots of those hours being brutal and mind numbing. And its so satisfying to finish. Wagies can never understand because they’ll only work on something if someone tells them to.

>>19008862
Sounds comfy bro

>>19010652
That is missing the section:

You may be like Jack Horner and chisel a plum and think your a wonderful guy, but the man in the glass says your only a bum if you cant look him straight in the eye.

>>19012364
>>19013214
what would you goys do thats so fucking awesome? buy a lambo and drive it to bars? kek

>>19013851
Half of the anons on this board want a homestead and wife and children, and to grow vegies and raise animals.

>>19008869

>>19013988
This, maybe run a general store or something simple so I can focus on my family

>>19008862
You staking SUTER? Hope so. That's the only way to get a GF imo

>>19008862
You have no personality or ambitions

>>19009266
what hobby anon

>>19011764
in my experience most are definitely not
