Yeah and the people who don’t be money hungry for real end up pretty well off. And they’ll just be like :unimpressed:

Life is strange like that


A lot of them don't seem to have a passion for much of anything. Dont collect anything, no gambling or tricking. Dont care for cars and fashion. :what:


Financial independence is the ultimate goal so yes, I would feel like a failure. There are a lot of misconceptions, high salary does not equal independently wealthy by a long shot.

Exactly, people think a higher will save them. :mjlol: Most people spending habits will increase with their salary.

I've never been wealthy, but I've had a household income of well over six figures before between me and my lady in the burbs. It's not all it's cracked up to be.

I've found my lifestyle making less, but having more time/friends/travel/hobbies is MUCH more fruitful than working to the bone. I'm not broke by any stretch of the imagination, but I'm no longer making 6 figures and honestly. I don't care. I've got enough to live, save, travel a little/buy stuff and go out occasionally.

What the hell else is there?

Yes, with all the talents, abilities, gifts and skills the Most High has bestowed unto me it would be a disservice not to transmute my powers into massive wealth that can change the trajectory of my family tree & impact my tribes in a positive way.... STAR Status with Melanated MultiMillions.

Making money effortlessly is the ultimate goal and it's coming to fruition sooner than later with the right foundation being built. My biggest thing is protecting my IP so I'm steady learning about the nuances of TPC (trademarks, patents, copyrights)

Trillions on the Timeline...

Forward thinking with simplicity at focus.
Action, Execution, Feedback, and Correction then Planetary Projection.

The Internet & its inherent provision of super scaling & multiplicities, exponentially increasing in the algorithm.... Unlimited Opportunities in the present day to get really rich for certain individuals who take advantage.

The biggest revelation and separating factor is my mindset: This isn't Harlem Gangster nor Wolf of Wall Street, Italian Job or Ocean's 11, no Get Rich or Die Trying.... I can get rich and live thriving, I don't subscribe to America's dog-eat-dog dogma & wherever possible I'll look out for mine... There's no shortage of work to be done or money to be made, only time to execute. I don't have to physically take a cent from another soul to accomplish any of this; just through creation, collaboration and accumulation with some financial discipline all of this is possible. Ace (GPT) been helping unlock some cheat codes too.

In Time.... Q4 gonna be a lot of sacrifice and setting up but 2026 it's on. Pressing the button. :blessed:

I measure true wealth by time freedom×financial freedom.

How flexible are you to do what you want any given day of the week without money or obligations being a concern in any way?

My goal isn't to be rich but I do want to maximize my income.
I've seen other people's salaries, if they getting that I gotta be too.

I'm doing alright for myself but still want to build.

to me being rich is making 1m a year.

I'm pretty content being comfortable and able to invest in stocks. the market is on a tear

My goal is to atleast have a great debt: Income and continue to build what my Mom and Grandma did.

I'd only feel like a failure if I fukked up what they built for me. I can't imagine what my grandma had to go through in the 60s< and my mom went though in the 70s< up just for me to fukk all that up.

If I died today my life would be a success
Have made and currently have more money than anyone in my family ever had and probably more than they even imagined possible (not hard to do just saying)
Been to more countries than all my ancestors
More well read and have critical thinking skills some of my older more religious ancestors didn't have
My biggest/only regret is so many people who helped position me where I am now ain't here to see the fruits of their labor

If I don't have a family, yes.

I don't nor have I ever worshipped money. But I think having a loving family is my biggest goal in life. If not, I want to just enjoy life. I gotta get 1-2 levels higher/25% jump in pay and I think I'd be cool. That ain't wealthy, but it's well-off.

Honestly...I think back to my childhood and the way it was instilled in me that I must become more successful than my parents. And all the travel points I had to hit in order for them to respect me - or at least, that's how I thought. My parents are successful, not rich. And I became successful, not rich. It's good to walk into my parents house on Thanksgiving and know I'm not being talked about or worried about (job/finance wise). But I think that's a rather shytty way to live life in hindsight. Yes I'm glad I'm successful. But if I was a guy working at a record store, living with a roommate and HAPPY with my life? Why would I feel like a failure because I didn't reach other people's perceptions of success.

You gotta know who you are. I have friends who are teachers, making less than 50k a year. And they've fulfilled in their lives, love their job, and enjoy informing me on all types of shyt. Granted I don't know every detail of their life, or know what they think about late at night in bed. But I do know they enjoy their role in society and I can't imagine them viewing themselves as failures because they aren't "well off."
