The pursuit of money is meaningless Anonymous Sat Feb 27 07:09:07 2021 No.29829824 [Reply] [Original]

Not a richfag, but I made more money than I know what to do with. I went on vacations, fucked hot bitches and bought nice things for myself, and yet I feel empty. I was smoking a ciggy and started ruminating about the past, about things I liked to do as a child. Yes I was bound to the rules of my parents and never really "free" but I lived a life much more fulfilling now that I think of it. Playing football with friends or just by myself was so fun. I used to read a lot and absolutely loved reading and writing. I wrote short stories and was always praised by my peers and teachers. I loved drawing, loved experimenting with different styles. I could take a bunch of blank sheets of paper and draw for hours. Was a very talented little boy. Was into music too, loved producing tracks and experimenting. But then as I grew up my creativity faded away and it was all about work work work. And for a long time that was my only motivation, to make money so I can live comfortably. Now that I live comfortable, I feel hollow and depressed. What's the point of making it bros? Just so I can rot comfortably until I die?

Nigger, go on adventures. That's why the old boys who were embers of adventure clubs were always depicted as being super rich old men. You are not bound by the constraints of money, so you push the boundaries of life. Get out there and live if you are truly financially free. If you don't, you're imagination has withered away already.

Well, creativity is a skill, when you don't use it, it fades. The good point is that once you start practicing it again, you will recover it.

What actually fucks your life is the lost of delusion. Everything is much better when we are not a bomb of cinism.

literally best advice you will get on biz
start here http://classics.mit.edu/Epictetus/epicench.html
life is pretty easy if you stop giving a fuck anon (and I mean that differently then you probably take it)
I was very depressed as well had to go into a clinic because I almost kms myself. They gave me meds that brought me back to earth stoped taking them once the thought of jumping off the next bridge passed and started to meditate and got deep into philosophy. Feel better now than I ever have even tho my life is kinda "worse" but if you understand the source of suffering it's pretty easy tbdesu.

you can buy the the Enchiridion in every book store or amazon I have like 3 copies of it. Can recommend anything from Seneca or Socrates/plato but my opinion is that the Enchiridion is a great place to start. There is also a book called "daily stoic" or something like that but I think that is pretty normie tier but you will get many references to actual philosphers in there.

Making it is more just about financial freedom. I think a study showed income increased happiness but only up to a point, like 75k a year or so.

You still need a schedule, purpose, goals, hobbies, social interaction, etc. Focus on self-improving, trying new things, learning new hobbies or getting back into old ones. The money should make things easier and remove barriers but it shouldn't fundamentally change you, how you act, or how you spend your free time.
