Why did you cut his feet out of the picture?

Meditations by Marcus Aurelius. He finds it really, really deep. The next book on his radar is Thinking Fast and Slow

My Dad is top 0.1% earner in America and got into the telecommunication business with only a bachelor in English literature. He got his first job because his father worked in the very company (in MIC) and got into "working in IT" and immediately started travellig to Singapore, Mexico, Saudi Arabia to make arms deals with them.
His father was offered by an uncle (who owned an NFL team btw) to have the senator, who owed him a favor, write him a letter for entry at West Point, but he rejected it for a high paying job in the MIC straight away instead. lolxd


YET he does not want me to get any special treatment when it comes to getting work. He will not ask any of his (ex-)CEO buddies to get me an internship the way his dad tossed him into a profession he had no previous experience or learned skills for.
He believes any form of nepotism ruins business even though he only ever expereienced the genuine ills of nepotisim because he himself was brought into that world through nepotism. He will only ever talk about the men who went from penniless to rich, and never acknowlegde the ones who went from decently well off to rich. "If you couldn't make it from 0 you don't deserve where you are at."

He is forcing me to work at Lidl next semester break because "it will be good for my experience and I will appreciate it". He compares this to his experience as a caddy at a rich golf club where he was always known as X's sons by all the men he got tips from. I live off only 400€ a month in a one bedroom apartment in one of Europe's more expensive western European cities. I am not spoiled, arrogant or supercilious. I jsut want a little help getting the first door open to prove myself instead of going into fucking retail or experiencing "the beauty of collecting rejection letters on my wall", as one of his best buddies (who worked for JP Morgan somehow suddenly at age 30, after fucking around, without ANY previous experience and only a Bachelors in History).


My father doesn't get an Airbnb or Hotel unless he is getting a deal. He hasn't bought a car in 12 years, lives in an apartment smaller than various property he leases and which is way way below his typical income status...

IDFC what this faggot lookin brat in his Dad's sailboat is reading. I want to know what his Dad read that made him not want to kick his kids into the gutter, but enjoy a summer that doesnt rely on the government making all public transport a 9€ bargain.

I am so fucking pissed and annoyed at the second world "princes" getting all income from their parents laughing at my second hand, awkward suit and wondering why I am doing the pathetic shit position in females only HR instead of something real. I should have been gifted a good internship like my Dad was instead of only getting what I merit if I didn't sell my soul for an engineering, law or Programming degree. Why did he get to study literature and become an IT consultant project manager, but I get not even the chance for half of that?

I hate the jet set so much it’s unreal

Nothing, he's illiterate; I read to him as he sucks my cock.

it's weird to see pictures like this posted whether it's a man or woman and then realize that there are millions of people who look like this or better than this male and female just walking around every day yet people share the pictures of specific people online as if they aren't just dime a dozen homo sapiens, as if their beauty is something special... but it's common assuming you live anywhere majority white.

>>20959956
RIP. But surely it can't be that hard. You'll get rich when he dies.

My anonymous love letters ;(

>>20959990
You can't be serious lmao. How fucking poor are you? ffs there is like no other excuse for how delusional you sound rn. If my father was trying to pull that shit I would be fucking pissed just like he is. Luckily, my dad is based and just doesn't give a fuck unlike this >>20959956 guy's dad. You shouldn't be playing around with your children's life just to "teach them" a fucking "lesson". That's just narcissistic god-complex behavior. What if with the opportunity anon was supposed to get he would have actually become more successful than his dad? You don't fucking know because you don't know shit about him or his situation.
My father never gave me any "lessons" but he sure gave me fuck-ton of good advice--- here's one he gave to me when he overheard me telling a friend that I wgmi:
> Let the less fortunate worry about "making it in this world", son, you just worry about keeping your place and staying at the top.

Dumbasses, you know why family wealth mostly lasts for one generation before they revert to working class/middle class?
It’s because parents don’t teach their children their frugal ways, kids of the nouveau riche grow spoiled and only know how to do spend.
You’re jealous of those princelings?
In a few years they’re bound to be broke and deeply in debt because they never learned how to make money, only how to spend it because daddy was always there to bail them out so they learned to go to daddy as a first instinct.
Your dad is trying to teach you how to make money first before handing you the family fortune, that way you won’t piss away what he built in our generation and undo everything he built.

>kids of the nouveau riche
Nice try, but my father isn't "nouveau riche" unless you consider anyone who isn't an actual aristocrat "nouveau riche". We've been rich for three generations.

>>20961738
People who overcome adversity are happier. People who struggle come out of it in greatness are happier. You should not wish for your kids not to struggle. Being born very well off does not do a kid any favors. I wouldn’t withhold it from a kid but I understand the fathers sentiment. The happiest dude I know is a lower middle class guy who got very wealthy in his life.

>>20959956
Based dad sabotaging the future of a son who's actually eager to prove himself.

>>20959786
I knew people like this growing up. If you were socially awkward they would threaten to beat you up and if you said "alright lets do this" and "challenge accepted" they would whine and try to sue you for touching them. I hope that one kid from my printing class got aids or something from unprotected sex.

How often boomer/GenXers say this to their kids is horrifying.

This is just typical boomer behaviour, lucking into their position and then closing the door behind them. They all do it.

i started daytrading ES
it turns out it's not about the indicator you use, it's more about
-cutting loses super early and letting winners run, ie managing your risk
-being able to watch boring price screens all day long

i think i can do it. literally trading ES on margin account and getting rich.
I use the free live feed on https://home.daytradingradio.com/
and his free course on youtube

Not reading this. Skimmed first line and saw something about you blowing your dad for money., which is kind of weird thing to confess on /lit/

Alter, you fucked up by going to Germany in the first place, this country is a boring overpopulated suicidal mess without nature that offers more than a 2km*4km strip of 'forest'. The only good part was the culture and that has died in the last couple of decades. The interesting/important parts of the culture can be accessed anywhere or seen during holidays.
Why haven't you stayed in the US anon?

Glad I pretty much derailed this low effort thread.
>>20963492
My dad wouldn’t pay for college, an I had learned enough German from being at an international school here to have this be the best option, since I really do love German philosophy and literature.
My problem here in Germany is that I am able to get people around and understand where I am coming from, but no one will ever even think to risk giving me a chance in their department or whatever. They all end up friendly but useless people.
I have a VWL minor btw, but that doesn’t get you even to the interview stage with most businesses.
>>20963010
Thanks but I don’t care about simply getting rich.
Sort of what this guy>>20962106 said I liked. I really just want to prove myself in a field my father and his were in (without previous merit) and be a useful, intelligent and creative asset to a real business as either of them became. I really dont care about titles or salary. I just want to matter in a world that I feel I should belong to as near all the other spoiled kids get to enjoy belonging to without needing to have clawed their way into it and without having gone through who knows what personality changes to achieve that by having to fight their way up on their own.

>>20961879
>new money
It's amazing how you all sound the same

>>20962721
Late gen xer here with boomer parents. My parents put me on SSI and I cannot inherit anything. They treated my sister like the golden child and got her through college so I ended up resenting her.

>>20964579
Just apply as a technical writer for a software company and then after while you can try to switch to some consultant or project management position. It depends on what your degree is, I have a literature degree, also Germany.

Just because your dad benefited from nepotism at a time in his life when he was most impressionable does not invalidate the objective fact that nepotism ruins businesses. You're just a lazy nigger.

>>20964633
That actually sounds like good advice to check out. And I haven’t had someone suggest that for me. Always just copywriter for magazines in advertising and similar.
Danke!

>>20961131
I work in a bookstore and boomers come in asking for Missing 411 probably twice a week. I have to tell them it’s out of print and costs upwards of $70+ And they grumble lol

>>20964579
>VWL minor
I also made this mistake but dropped out rq and decided to go for a real degree.
Make friends with the kanax that lurk around your local Bahnhof and start a life of crime and drugs to rly show your dad what a jerk he is!

>>20959799
Not false. Probably something like "The subtle art of not giving a fuck."

Interesting to read that, I thought VWL as a minor would be an easy entrance card to a lot of jobs for people with a 'soft' major. Showing, that they can do math and all of that.

>>20959956
Do you know how to fucking network? You don't need to wait for your dad to introduce you to these people. Have initiative and message them on LinkedIn, look at their company page, find their emails, and say hey I'm X's son and am wondering if you have an internship. Jesus dude your dad is a boomer but you have so many contacts to work with. Old fucks usually jump at the chance to mentor an ambitious young guy cause they can attach themselves to your future success.

Baby Boomers are the most selfish generation in history. They are better off than both their parents and kids economically and still whine like a bunch of man children when Millenials and Zoomers are given 10k loan forgiveness on their debt.

>>20959956
Your dad sounds like an annoying dickhead, I’d be pissed too. A father should want to help his child get ahead in life. It’s not like you’re just asking for money without doing any work. Your father is failing as a father. It’s almost like he wants his genetic line to deteriorate.

I look like this, probably cuter, and I read all the best stuff. It doesn't even matter, I don't need you to know.

>>20968110
yeah, but do you have a boat you can lie on to look pretty?
