What is it like to be rich?

[The Devil's Advocate]

You make it sound like it's the easiest thing in the world

I'm saying it in reference to your statement. You don't play the lottery unless it's more than 50 mil. Because you want the full feeling

If that's the case you might as well take 20 and try to make more. Why just say fukk it cause it's not super rich

I wouldn't want to be rich, what I make now is more than I'll ever need. My dad makes over $250k a year, gets a new mercedez each year and lives in a gated community and travels a couple times a year with the wife..more money means more problems, I'm comfortable, don't need the headache.

That's all I need....250 a year and I'm straight

I'm from section 8, paycheck to paycheck so 100k plus my wife's 50 to 60k would be for me.

I'd only wanna be rich if i was an artist. fukk being a CEO and that stress


But I can't lie...this kinda got me like

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 becaome $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.

What you make now though?


I just want a single family home...they're so nice in my area...they're like 250-300k with upgrades

$58.5k year...For where I work I'm sorta at the bottom of the ladder, people always asking me when I'm going to move up the ladder and I always tell them I'm staying where I'm at..less $ means less stress and that's how I like it.

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 feel you

I'm at like 70k with OT
I wanna move up two spots .. I'm def getting promoted at the end of the year but after that I'd need 2 more (that would make me a VP at probably 100k or more a year)

But that stress and responsibilities

My VP is cool and he works like 9 to 530 ish....so it might not be that bad

But I can see where you're coming from. I want 100k and my girl is at 55k so we'd be set.

I just want enough so that if i ever have kids she can be a stay at home mom for a little while

I agree with this.

People put too much stock into money.

It's not everything

No debt, health and love >

being ultra rich never interested me. being well off is what i strive for, cus there isnt alot of things i want tbh. and it's wierd cus my families been low class most my life. spending a big chunk of your childhood living in a 1 bedroom apartment with your mom, dad and bro was terrible lol. we were even homeless for a minute.


gotta get this school and intern shyt done

Dudes like that are surrounded by sycophants they don't know if their friends really likes them, or if their wife really loves them.

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.

Both of these quotes are sounds good aka make you feel better about life quotes. Having money is all this evil why living regular is soo great. Stop it its pros and cons to both ways period not this stuff some try to make it out to be where you get money life is horrible and you living regular life is great.

if I ever attain a million, I just couldn't stop there. I'd need it all.

When you make more money, you'll want more

After my raise back in the end of April, it just motivated me to go after more...I'm really not satisfied.

Plus I think when it comes to being worth 8 figures and up, most people's concept of money and spending goes out the window.

I know for damn sure I want to be rich. The more money I make the less stressed out I feel

Are you investing your money breh? Because if you making 70k your main focus should be using your money to make money.
