I never understood richfags that live like poors and frugally. And they act like they are 500iq and so nobel and braggadocious about it.

>Hurr durr look at me everyone I have no debt and have an income north of 250k a year and a 1M+ savings account look how smart I am everyone

Shitbox house, shitbox car, ugly wife etc.

What's the point of wealth if it is not used to enhance your life, seeing digits stack in some account is just greedy and defeats the point of being rich.

>muh retirement
So you will enjoy your wealth when your dick don't work, you cant see and have bad knees?

Fuck all of you smug rich faggots that think living frugally is some noble endeavor, your a smug sanctimonious asshole that has a greed and hoarding problem. You cant stack youth or time, and without either money is useless.

There is a balance between basketball-american splurging and moderately enjoying your wealth on nice things retard. I am not saying as a high net worth individual I will drop 80% of my net worth combined on a house, rolls Royce and retarded jewelry but there is a point where you can and should spend even 5% of say a 900k net worth on a sports car you love, a hobby or something you spend alot of your time doing or using.

Don't know, these guys may be onto something being rich ascetics. Some of them likely know that if they start spending freely they will let their demons run rampant.

I had a small taste of "made it" with seven figures and all of my existing addictions got worse.

>Already fat at time of made it, gained 100+ pounds and got diabetes because I can order whatever the fuck I want. Literal Doordash 2-3 X per day every day, high end snacks, entire cases of chips and juice on Amazon to stock pantry.

>Zero patience every time the slightest thing goes wrong, throw a fucking fit.
>Couldn't relate to normal friends anymore, I would listen to their woes about their jobs and barely making rent but it became more foreign and detached.
>Still annoyed I'm not richer than I am but too demotivated and unhealthy to try to make lightning strike twice with a second business or whatever.
>Scared I am turning gay or trans and eventually I will give into degenerate urges to suck a Black guy's dick.

The best advice I can give anyone with a chance at making it is to get your shit together mentally BEFORE you do. And for the record, I've seen others in my industry suddenly come into money and they cannot fucking handle it. They usually blow themselves up and lose everything.

I'm one of the rare people who held onto my riches with smart, basic investments. But mentally I am a fucking basketcase of poor health and twisted sexuality.

you can't understand it because you're low iq
you will also unfortunately fail to understand my post for the same reason. low iq people are extremely defensive about intelligence
but the truth is simple: high iq people have a richer inner world, which makes trinkets and baubles less interesting by comparison
that is, it's not that they can't enjoy a fast car or a pretty woman. it's just that fast cars and pretty women are in competition with a million other interesting things in their head that requires less effort and give the same reward to the pleasure centers of the brain
at this point, keeping money as money (whether liquid, investments...) buys you optionality. that optionality may be reclaiming your time (quitting your job). it could be security against accidents of life. the potential alone tends to be deeply satisfying
for a poorfag analogy, think of how you feel when you think of going to a party or whatever. quite often you look up to the event as much as you enjoy the event itself, sometimes even moreso
high iq types saving money tend to view it like this. except even more extreme. with a rich inner world, being alive alone is a party, so maximising your chances to be alive with minimum effort tends to be optimal
there is no virtue involved in perceived asceticism, that asceticism is mostly a consequence of alignment

There is hardly any difference between flaunting your wealth Richard Heart style or driving a beaten up +20 yo Volvo; you are doing it to be perceived in a certain way.
Main difference being that the latter is a form of self flaggelation that is done to show how "pious" you are.
If you, me or anyone else on this planet got trapped in an Omega man type situation (I'm legend is the last remake of the movie), no one would be driving a Prius, we would all be cruising in Bentleys or the likes.. introduce society into the mix and suddenly the faux modesty/frugality starts.

I feel like the people changed by wealth tend to be those who didn't really earn it. Windfall beneficiaries and fast-money grifter types. Barring that, it would take total immersion in a new social context with different consumption patterns to truly change a person, not necessarily the money itself.

The only difference between my spending habits ten years ago ($12/hr) and now ($250/hr) is that I have my takeout delivered, have a mortgage, and feel comfortable with vacationing once in a blue moon.

Splurging is unfathomable, since I think of money in terms of retirement dividends and the financial well-being of my future children, God willing.

People like you and OP are making this way more complicated than it actually is. It has nothing to do with piety, rich people like this just don't change their personal spending or habits just because they have more money. If a $10k car got them to work and back when they had a $100k net worth, it will get them where they're going just the same even if their net worth is now $5 mil. The only reason to drive a more expensive car is because they can afford to, not necessarily because it will significantly increase the quality of their commute or quality of life in general.

What the fuck.
With 7 figures life literally becomes easy mode to accomplish goals.
You have time to go to the gym every day, you can focus 100% of your mental energy on doing just that one thing each day and grow from there, learning anatomy, exercises, honing on a safe proper form, with no distractions. Then once you're fit you can actually enjoy and get good at doing things like team sports, or rock climbing, or skiing, surfing, fighting, or whatever.
You'll always be well rested.
You have money to pay a chef to make you healthy tasty nutrient dense foods for all your meals that are within your macros and won't make you fat.
You don't have to watch any porn because you can improve the way you dress, your hair, and once you're fit you'll easily attract a woman or pay for her services, if not in america, then somewhere else in the world.

It takes some serious mental illness to not be able to impose rules on yourself to curb undesirable behavior and to fall into the self-destructive pits of despair you describe. Do you understand what self-destructive means? Self = you. Destructive = destroy. You're destroying yourself when you do those things. You know better, don't let yourself destroy yourself.

Here I'll give you 3 rules that will fix your life.
1. Go to the gym every single day, no excuses unless you have a fever or food poisoning, just sometime within the 24 hours after waking up you go to the gym and spend a minimum 5 minutes doing any exercise.
2. Never order food delivery unless you're sharing with other people. If you want to eat out you have to leave your home and eat it in public.
3. Stop watching porn. You shouldn't coom but just switching to using your imagination will improve your fried dopamine receptors substantially.

If you can't handle that. Travel somewhere for a month, do not use the internet for anything except booking/directions. Be bored. Let your mind reset, then try again

>Fuck all of you smug rich faggots that think living frugally is some noble endeavor

You're missing the point because you're stupid and poor.

I could buy the ugly sack of shit on the left for $160k
It will deprecate 80% within 5 years
It's full of gay spyware, shit build quality and will be totally worthless or dead in a decade
It also telegraphs to the plebs on the street I have money to steal, not something you want as our economic situation worsens

So what's the point?

Instead, I drive the car on the right.
Bought it for $10k a decade ago, worth $15k today
It is simple and reliable and designed to last a quarter century just from the factory
It will outlast the pile of shit on the left by decades and I will always have something that works in an emergency
Also, blends into the crowd

It has way more value.

Apply this thinking to a house, wife or whatever stupid shit you're talking about and now you know what a wealthy person who doesn't waste money thinks like.

Didn't know /biz/ was going to get so butthurt about the idea of buying things that add value to your life as you see fit with your wealth instead of being a hoarder.

So the consensus is to get rich for the sake of being rich but having the same lifestyle as you had when you were poor no matter how much money you save or make is the only logical way to enjoy your wealth.

If the value in your life is dictated by the ownership of depreciating objects that only impact how you're perceived by proles, does your life really have value?

If your lifestyle expenditures increase proportionally to the money you made while you were poor, you will remain financially unstable, you will die with little, and your children will be left nothing.

By all means spoil yourself once every now and then for personal enjoyment, but don't do it for attention or social approval, and don't go full retarded with it. You hate "hoarding wealth" - despite the fact that most rich reinvest, since hoarding is just bad form financially - and yet you champion hoarding "stuff" obtained with wealth instead.

Literal millionaire here, and I’ll throw this into the conversation. My overriding fear is being a poorfag again, and if I blow my money on bullshit, that becomes more of a possibility. I don’t need status symbols like high-end cars and jewelry or stupid big-titty whores because I’m not trying to impress anyone. I’ve figured out my system and none of that shit will help me further it. If my system involved shaking dollars out of gullible retards, yeah, I’d stack all that shit up.

But everything I need to have fun I can afford for comparatively little money, and overspending never gives me enjoyment, finding ways to get the most for my money is part of the fun.
