Billionaire unhappy with his billions.

[Kid McNamara]

This is why "retirement" is a joke. Try sitting around for months doing nothing at all.

That being said, money does mean happiness. If you can't find happiness with money, you're hopeless.

If I have 1.5 billion my brehs and family will be taken care of without having to worry about work.

We will all live comfortably. Interest is nice when dealing with a number that high at even a conservative 3% interest that is a 45 million dollar gain year after year without even touching the principle. I'll pick 44 of my closest and we all have that cool 1 million to work with year after year (Ya pay taxes though ).

I'll think of what to do with the 1.5 billion to help the planet after that.

 

[Johnny Vulture]

Don't wanna hear this rich sob story.

Empty your bank account or stfu with this I'm too rich to have fun shyt.

 

[Brosef]

That's what happens when you don't fulfill mans purpose on earth.

This right here

Dude doesn't have any sense of spirituality. Material success is only a portion of you, whether you living on the street or whether you have billions like this guy

Retirement is a joke now?

Bruh, he has the money to do whatever he wants, if he was willing to help others he could change the lives of hundreds of thousands of people. He could start a video game studio if he's so bored, why doesn't he do that? I mean I'd be sailing around the world right now, learning all sorts of languages, building clean drinking wells around the world, starting scholarship funds, chilling with my family and all sorts of shyt. I'd even do some off brand shyt like start my own Nascar team, everyone from the pit crew to the driver would be black and all my sponsors would be black businesses. Instead, he's waiting for his friends to get out of work and partying with people in Ibiza.

Yes.

Traditional retirement: Work a job and save up your money until you're 65, retire, and "enjoy" your remaining years. Oh, wait, the thing is you're now 65 and life is over (there are exceptions...but, incredibly rare).

Early retirement: After a windfall of money, you "retire" and live a life of leisure. Only thing is, you soon realize that the hard work and time put into what you've built was the fun part. A man without a mission is a man having an existential crisis.

Yes, that's right. Finding out what you're good at and going full tilt is fun. Hard work is fun. Building something is fun.

All these other activities are great, but they may not be what he wants. Anyone who can make a billion five is into the chase.

Traditional retirement I agree is pointless, mainly because the prospect of working until you're 65-70 is just But early retirement depends on the person, there are people in the world much like the homie Peter Gibbons from Office Space who don't want to do anything. The idea of having to work beyond the age of 55 terrifies me more than having idle time, idle time is what books were meant for. The thrill of the chase for some is the goal, others want to relax after the chase is done, why you think Lions sleep all day

Most of the planet is without a mission and not having existential crisis, mainly because the "mission" isn't to be rich or famous, it's simply to survive.

Is that a fictional character?

Sure there are people who don't want to do anything. Those people don't tend to be highly driven or highly successful (unlike Notch).

Lot of successful folks stay in pursuit. Most would rather risk going broke and failing over lounging around all day and night.

I do agree with you. Having to work beyond the age of 55 is worrisome. If you're doing something you love/are good at, it's just a part of your lifestyle.

Everyone fights to get to the top only to realize there's nothing there.


When you got a billion dollars and all you want is a normal life, to be able to create and hustle without worrying about losing a billion dollars, who's your real friends, if your girl loves you or your money, If you can trust family....

That sucks.

Peace of mind with no peace of mind.


There are only a handful of people that can actually relate to what he's going through.

You a weed smoker my dude? You say a lot of sounds good weed smoker shyt. Remind me of one my boys who always be on this bullshyt you be on and he a big time weed smoker.

 

[FSP]

He should just start having a bunch of kids


Won't be boring then

 

[HoopLife]

i get what he is saying though....

when u can afford everything,what is there to "work" for

u know he cant go out on a Friday night with the work friends like us normal people,it probably doesn't feel the same when your a billionaire lol

he could always give 99% of it away and start again though

He would still have 12 million if he gave 99% of his worth

He can have a normal life. Nobody is telling him to party in Ibiza with super models. He can have any life he wants

 

[↓R↑LYB]

Even worse.
If he's an introvert, why is he wasting money on a party crib?

The 70m he spent on that house he made back in interest in 2 months

 

[Professor Emeritus]

The only reason any of ya'all work is for money?

There are a hell of a lot of reasons to work other than money. The work I've done for the last 15 years (once I finished doing the crap jobs I had to do to pay my way through college) has all been shyt that I would have done even if it didn't pay the bills.

I don't feel sorry for him, because he could give up that money or do something good with it and get back to living his life. But it completely makes sense. Past about $70-80,000/year, additional money doesn't make people any happier. It just adds to their material possessions and unnecessary responsibilities, and makes them keep lusting for the next level up.

He got the money to travel into space and stay on the space station if he wanted to.

U.S. Billionaire Set For 2nd Trip to Space


"Space gets boring though" - Coli posters

I bet going into space actually fulfills a need to do something different......since you can "do" most things on earth.
