What is it like to be rich?

[msims]

this is an AWFUL insight to being rich. No offense to OP.

Who gives a eff what your richer friends are doing.

If you have 20 mil in the bank, you need to look at the world. Look at the struggling single mom who can't afford a car and has to catch a bus to work in the morning and then to a evening job, just to feed her kid and herself.

Look at the people in foreign countries who can't even afford or have access to a single bottle of water.

You're lucky/blessed as anything if you have that kind of money. If ur healthy, have a family, there's NOTHING to complain about. Period.

And furthermore, go to the ultra rich side of town wherever you live, and if you have 20 mil, you likely have more money than most of those people.

I think taking this as anything more than someones anecdote is trying to hard. It's not awful, it's just someone's perspective. Every rich person isn't the same. The person who wrote this wasn't even rich, himself. He just had rich friends.

To be thankful for the things you have goes for any and everyone, not just the rich.

And I'm sure they feel blessed everyday. However, there are many people who get caught up in rat races; peer vs peer, keepin up with the 'Joneses', etc.

It happens to the best of us. We, as humans, tend to compare ourselves to other humans.

Why would this trend exclude the rich?

Not all wealthy people live like this, but the 8 friends of the anecdotes' author did.

Take it for what it is, breh; a pretty decent read.

As someone with rich uncles, i realise being rich is overrated as fuk. These rich guys end up spending most of their youth chasing money only to be wealthy when theyre in their 50s and looking like theyre about to die in a decade due to the stress of work. And because most of these rich people are employed in jobs were they need to be dedicated to their workplace 24 hrs a day, they end up having fuked up marriages and relationships. Their wives end up cheating on them with the bad boy bikie or their personal trainers, and theyll never know because these guys are just obsessed with work. Their spoiled kids end up doin drugs and od'ing because daddy wasnt there to tech them right and wrong. Ive seen this scenarios too many times. Which is why so many rich cacs go to therapy. It ain all roses. Being wealthy is only goat if you have Old Money or your married to the rich.

TOTALLY AGREE... i leave work everyday and i happen to walk past this rehab center for drug addicts and one day i seen some dude outside and he said he was one of the counselors and i said u have a lot of celebrities in here since this is L.A. and he said he has ton of celebrity kids from A list to even Stunt Men and women kids in there.. do to confidential shyt he can't say names, but he was like these kids didn't care about anything cause basically their parents don't care cause money is everything...

do i want to be rich?? fukk yeah.... but at the same time i want to have a peaceful life without the beggars and so call people who say they love u and the whole nine

A lot of rich people don't spent all of their youth chasing money.
A lot of upper-middle-class people do, though. There are almost millionaires, millionaires and billionaires in their 20s and 30s who aren't hospitalised for stress all the time.
Old money is always best, but new, tech money, can be a very close second. Its easy to fall under the radar, not nearly as stressful as say, the investment banker/hedge-fund manager lifestyle is, and it does create a lot of wealthy people.
I'm ready to give up the stresses of being poor, and I'll gladly take rich stress instead.

 

[BrothaZay]

Makes me want to change my life a bit.

Like....I need to create more.

I need to create something.

​

I been wathcing Shark tank and on kickstarter for the past few weeks coming up with ideas to rip off

Cacs do it, and it works for them so

 

[BrothaZay]

This is why I don't fukk with the lottery unless it's 50 Mill + after taxes. I'd be cool with any kind of millions but i want the full experience of being rich.

One day though Inshallah

If you win send me on a trip to the gayest area of a Brazil as a token of your apology

 

[BrothaZay]

Let's let this sink in...

So basically its impossible for them to go broke. Has a billionaire ever gone broke?

I don't know why people say bold its so stupid esp since 9 outta 10 times its coming from people that aren't either one. Money is best don't matter if its old/new. People just live these feel better statements for reasons I don't know

 

[Sterling Archer]

PERSPECTIVE. The wealthiest person I have spent time with makes about $400mm/year. i couldn't get my mind around that until I did this: OK--let's compare it with someone who makes $40,000/year. It is 10,000x more. Now let's look at prices the way he might. A new Lambo--$235,000 became $23.50. First class ticket internationally? $10,000 becomes $1. A full time executive level helper? $8,000/month becomes $0.80/month. A $10mm piece of art you love? $1000. Expensive, so you have to plan a bit. A suite at the best hotel in NYC $10,000/night is $1/night. A $50million home in the Hamptons? $5,000. There is literally nothing you can't buy except.

 

[BrothaZay]

Breh, you can do both. Knock off the CC debt and put money in an investment account. Even if it's 50-60/mo the interest you make on it does add up.

Im 20, in debt with credit(less than $600) tho

Idk what to do, if its that bad or what. No one I know really knows about this type of shyt

 

[I_Got_Da_Burna]

I've hung out with multi-millionaires...they make money but they are usually stressed. nothing is ever right...whether it be work, at home, something...

ehhh I think white people always need something to worry about or they don't feel right

Even if I was Rich I'd still be that nikka that likes eating General Tso chicken from the local Chinese Food place.

"Yes, you can buy influence. As a billionaire, you have manyways to shape public policy and the public debate, and you use them. This is not in any evil way. the ones I know are passionate about ideas and are trying to do what they feel is best (just like you would)."

nikka full of shyt



anyway being rich has cons and pros....most ppl see the pros (materialistic shyt) but also alot of cons comes with it.....many rich ppl are miserble
