And some want wealth to do fun things, help people and not have financial worries.
No. Not me…I’m mainly in the second camp. I just don’t want to deal with… gestures to everything …all this.
Most people want wealth because it means they won’t need to think at how to survive the next month.
I want wealth because I lack self love and wish I had enough money to buy it
I love you buddy
Unless you’re some kind of wierdo that doesn’t like the word moist or you think LeBron vs MJ is a reasonable comparison to make, knowing the game dynamics are completely different for their respective eras, or whatever.
I have some bad news for you.
I am poor and chose the latter. Own a small cheap cottage on the edge of a tiny rural village at the arse end of Australia (Tasmania) live simply and have a like minded parter. I quit work at 35 and am now 59, don’t get any goverment pensions etc have a small investment portfolio of shares i purchased back in the 1990s from working and live off the dividends.
I don’t want to be rich, as to even try to do so I’d have to compromise all of my morals to get there. I’m rich enough. I quit paid work as it wasnt for me. My only regret in life was not quitting work earlier, thats time I cant get back.
Goals
Fuck yeah. When you come into Melbourne hit me up and we’ll have a drink
I have no interest in power. I want wealth so that I can stop stressing out over money.
I want wealth so I can quit my day job and focus on creating art
What kind of art?
I’m a performance artist, specifically circus
May I suggest Michael Lucas’ ‘Cashflow for Creators’. While not exactly a must-read, personally it helped me a lot to actually map, plan and ultimately take the decision to tell the corporate world to get stuffed.
I want wealth so i can quit this fucking joke of a job and have my own business.
I want wealth for ease of mind. No more worries about food, shelter, and health for me and my family.
Everyone give your money to me so I become rich so I can achieve my goals.
-
Live in bunker in woods away from people
-
Make LeVar Burton president
-
I want wealth to become Batman.
I want wealth so I don’t have an existential crisis every time I need to get my brakes done. Or my teeth prosthetics needs repair
I want wealth so I can build a better world for everyone else to live in, like building metro lines and libraries all over my city, affordable, mixed-use housing, and funding clean energy projects. We are not the same
These are both forms of power.
I kinda don’t fit in both. I need reasonable steady income/wealth (as soon as it covers food, a car, an apartment, gym, some clothes, … for me and some relatives) so I can do other stuff.
This will be centered around volunteering in different ways (open source, research, …) without fearing going homeless the moment I disagree with someone.
Given my low cost geo location, I am closer to this than ever.
I have no problem going to work every day if I know I can pay my bills and have some fun during my off time.
The last 12 months has been the first time in 20 years that I felt like I wasn’t able to accomplish that, and it’s getting worse.
And I’m content spending most of my weekends at home doing nothing, so I don’t feel like that’s too much to ask.
