Relaxing in that you don’t need to worry about basic stuff like shelter, bills, food, etc.

That’s about it really unless you have really crazy wants in life, like owning a lambo

That first thing must be nice

Anguish

It's relaxing like anon above said when it comes to not worrying about basic needs, but it's actually stressful too because you never want to have LESS than you do now, so you fall into the "more is never enough" trap

Unironically I used to feel less stressed about money when I had $400 to my name and rent was around the corner, because I could see the bottom and I'd been there a million times

Much easier not to worry about losing money when you don't have shit to lose, it's a weird feeling and makes you understand why all these billionaire homos are the way they are

ive lived off earning 20k a year for a decade now, means if i had a measly 500k i could either live the same way for 20 more years without working or buy a house in my expensive ass state which is my ultimate dream

That's the whole motivation behind FIRE. Have enough that you can wander through life comfortably without stressing the basic necessities. Then you can truly do what you want.

I would sell my soul to have a life like that, i unironically go to sleep every night thinking about it.

Comfy life with a house of your own sounds really good too, but thats a bigger dream

>>57850532
I WILL NEVER KNOW AFTER TODAY

>>57852622
Why?

>>57850532
Idk, I'm waiting till truflation rental index gets updated, I ain't got no real money bro

>>57850532
Being in constant stress of losing it

FINANCIALLY RUINED, ALL CHARTS RED, MARKET PLUMMETING, IT'S OVER

50k in a the bank is a good safety blanket because i know i can survive for at least a year in my current lifestyle with no worries.

money doesn't happiness, if you're miserable now that wont change with a pile of cash.

>>57853154
Good luck brother

>>57853184
Why? Do you have risky investments?

>>57853257
Buy high sell low anon

>>57853263
I dont wanna be that guy but i would found true happiness with money. All my problems would dissapear with SOME cash, not even a pile, and i could have a normal happy life again. I understand what you are saying, but still for some people money=happiness

>>57853646
No, but there's no end of things to worry about.
All I can say is don't wish your life away chasing money and just enjoy being broke with nothing to lose. Be a starving artist on your hitler arc or some shit.

I promise you if I gave you a million dollars, you'd quickly find plenty of things to fucking worry about, and you will never feel like your wealth is safe. That's why these maniac billionaires cannot stop accumulating more money, and you've got Bill Gates desperately buying farm land out of FEAR his empire collapses.

Anon i dont want a million dollars, i want to be able to not be hungry literally every fucking day of my life and have a roof under my head. Again I understand what you are saying, but for me happiness would not be to accumulate wealth but to be able to feel life as i remember again.

I hope Gates feels fear every day
