Stfu faggot.
You're a bitch.

>>54166792
When you realize that all the money in the world can't fill the gaping hole in your soul, think back to when anon told you to reconsider your approach to success.

>>54166779
>I don't actually want to be wealthy.
Anybody who says this is lying to themselves.

>>54166827
suck my dick.

>>54166779
It's almost as if the Buddha was right

>>54166779
I completely agree, I thought that was what people meant by "making it." Not buying tons of useless shit with your money, but being free of wage slavery for good.

wealth didnt matter historically and even poor people had kids because women had normal standards..
you cant get married or have children today if you dont have a house bike 7 figs

>>54166779
I want to start at least 2 charities and leave multiple businesses for my kids. So I need more wealth. I'm glad you're finding the types of things you appreciate most anon.

>>54166779
cope

>>54166779
You are absolutely right in your perception, anon.
This is counterintuitive in our society, as you probably already understand, so you'll need a bit of courage to follow through because you'll feel some pressure to amass more money than you need

>>54166779
But what if really really like money

>>54166900
Poor people are the ones having the most children right now and only roughly 40% of men in history had children. The standards were also higher because the parents were the ones that arranged the marriages. I know plenty of people who have children and don't have seven figure houses. Your post is wrong on everything.

>>54166845
You are trying to fill a void

>>54166779
>I just want to have enough money to do a couple things I really enjoy, then spend whatever other money I have in trying to acquire more free time.

Money is just a means to this goal for me, I want a lot of it so I can live this lifestyle

>>54166845
Some of the wealthiest people I know are also the most unhappy. Here's an example:

>guy I know cofounded a consultancy and retired early
>bought a bunch of properties to continue revenue stream and prevent wealth erosion
>most people he "knows" (aka business relations) often try to weasel his wealth and get favors from him
>constantly busy fixing shit and getting calls from gorillions of people about things 2 states away
>one kid going in and out of rehab because both parents are too fucking busy to parent
>rarely gets free moments to himself to enjoy what he has
>never truly satisfied with himself or what he has

The only real solace he has is that his family's future is pretty damn secure and he's pretty comfortable in his arrangement. The biggest perk is probably the fact he can live where he wants (sort of), but he's constantly tired and never feels truly relaxed. I think having fewer things to worry about and independent time are keys to happiness, not "having it all".

>>54166779
lmao poorfag cope

>>54166779
I wish I hadn't realised this until after I had done shitty things. Then at least I would be able to eat food that hasn't been replaced by 15% sawdust.

Don't get me wrong, I've done shitty things. Just mostly not profitable. Thats just sad.

>>54166779
>Wealth just makes more problems than I realize
Massive cope.
>I'd like a career I enjoy, sure, but I value having time to spend at my leisure and with my friends and family.
You've chosen the Isao Takahata path in life my friend. Nothing wrong with that, but don't spout the 'money creates more problems' bullshit cope. Everyone else in this thread is saying its cope and it is, but at the same time, leisure with friends and family is part of what makes life worth living. So you're half-wrong.

>>54166779
Fucking retard worthless post. Time is the most expensive thing in the world and enough cash to not have a job is all the wealth i fucking want too.

>>54167461
He's talking about happiness and he's half-wrong. It's ironic because money and friends are not so diverse interests. He posted this bullshit anecdote about some workaholic, but some people make JUST enough money to achieve independence and retire early to spend more time with friends and family.

>>54167384
>money creates more problems
Money creates different types of problems. Not saying it's bad to have a stable income or anything, but incredible wealth is not automatically fulfilling like so many retards here think it is. Money solves only corporeal problems, not metaphysical ones.

>>54166779
This is why crypto is great, you can have the wealth and be in control of the wealth or hide it and with that comes no problems

>>54166779
"I will enjoy wealth without the trappings of wealth. I have little need for fast cars, loose women and expensive clothes. I will live my life as I see fit. Instagram is for niggers, bitches and faggots."

Without a certain amount of money you can't really do anything interesting with your life. I'm poor as fuck and can't really afford to do anything except for walk around my lame ass neighborhood. I spent some time out of a job and I'm a month behind on rent and covering with a credit card until I can pay it back.

People don't really respect you unless you're able to make money or have access to something they want like a good time. Wealth is great, but if I had a lot money, I would basically just retire, except I wouldn't have to live with a roommate, and I would deck out my house/apartment with desks, nice computers, dj equipment, probably a mini bar or something, a lot more books. Finally get a nice tailor made suit, some nice shoes. Definitely some nice old rosewood furniture or something.

>>54166779
you're an idiot

>>54166845
>Anybody who says this is lying to themselves
Anybody who says this has never been wealthy

>>54166827
I can fill your gaping hol ;)

>>54166779

I think you found the true reason to live.

I think I'm gonna start drinking again it's been 13 years since I stopped.
I can't handle the depression of poverty anymore.

>>54166779
more like the older you got without being wealthy the harder you cope as your chances diminish, and this is your final cope
>uhh actually i dont really want to be rich

>>54166779
>wealth means owning fancy things
You were never going to make it

>>54167019
this is the kind of shit commies love to say
>money wont make you happy goy, stop trying and eat the fucking bugs

>>54166779
I think you realized you are a loser.

>>54166779
Wealth is great only if the goal is to free yourself from mundane work. If you’re seeking wealth for status or luxury you will have a hard time regardless

>>54166897
>Not buying tons of useless shit with your money, but being free of wage slavery for good.

it can be quite boring having nothing to do

>>54171097
>Niggerjew
>Pitbull
>pictures of himself
Checks out.
Glad this fucker will off himself in prison

>>54171114
>free of wage slavery means having nothing to do
the mindset of a slave

>>54166779
i enjoy trying to make money
but yes as I have grown my monies ive learned taking breaks is important

i want to be rich so i can have 20 year old russian girls suck tapioca boba out my asshole

>>54166779
A milli and I would retire and live a simple life

>>54166779
>owning a lot of fancy shit I rarely use seems like a big gay waste.
It is. You should strive to be financially independent, not nigger rich buying Ferraris and dumb shit.

>>54166856
I struggle with this.

If the goal is to alleviate suffering (in yourself as well as others), then that can be accomplished by becoming wealthy and allocating your wealth into generous endeavors.

We cant all just sit under a tree in permanent meditative bliss. Things still need to get done and we as normal people have responsibilities. Shirking responsibilities for meditative bliss seems like negative karma

>>54166779
Well yeah responsibility and time investment sucks.
Actually wanting to get into the (b)millionaire and old money elite cliques is retarded.
Most celebrities might be wealthy but are mentally damaged&cucked e.g. Will Smith and IG models are Dubai porta potties.

If you're an average guy and sane you want maximum time and wealth, minimum responsibilities and commitment.

>>54172329
thats because what exists today is the corrupted version of Buddhism and has nothing to do with the original one. Any person with some common sense can see the psy op

>>54171114
It does not cost much money to get a guitar, or a 3D printer, or to start a garden.

time
money
health

you need a balance of all 3 of these or you haven't made it
I just want enough money and time to pursue self improvement (and do more track days)

>>54166779
financial independence is a key factor to maximize available free time in modern economies.

>>54166779
cool story bro i fucked your mom

>>54172329
>We cant all just sit under a tree in permanent meditative bliss
If more did, the value of wages would increase.

>>54167019
What are you talking about? How has he retired if he's constantly working and not able to raise his own children? Americans could never into Mediterranean mindset.
