A year ago I became a millionaire. I just sold some bitcoins. Nobody knew in my family until I payed taxes. At first I told my parents and offered them a half, because a wanted to help them, but they refused and took only 10k bucks for their needs. Then I told my girlfriend, she was really happy, we dreamed for while about how to make our new life better, like a new car or condo. I put some money into business, new condo and asset management. Of course I left my job. After a month of dealing with money I told my friends. The same thing happened, they were happy, we had the greatest party in my life. For 3 months everything was completely OK. Me and my girlfriend enjoined every moment, but my and her friends weren't. We switched from our usual cheap pizza-bear parties to best places in our city. I had for about 18-26k bucks income in a month and for sure didn't care about prices, every month I still had some free 8-10k bucks without any ideas how to spend it. In my country and city an average salary is for about 250-300 bucks and nobody pays taxes. So most of my environment couldn't afford such life as me, but I also didn't want to live as lived. I suddenly realized that I have nothing in common with them. That's how I lost all of friends less then in 6 months. For now I just feel like we have never met. But even with money I still have problems with integration into proper community, same rich people in my city look at me like I'm a redneck which won a lottery. I have no idea what is wrong with me and should I do anything. If you were me, what would you do?

i takes time to find your position after newly acquired wealth. You will meet people similar to you eventually and make new friends. If your riches causes your friends to leave then they are no real friends

>>737683820
Worry about yourself. Good people will stick by you and they're all that matters. Well, if you want business connects to grow that wealth then that's a whole different game.

the solution is simple
>live humbly

i've met people like you. both actual millionaires and bitcoin investors.
you are all the same. never thought about what they would like to live like, until they could live like they do on TV.
and then you think you need to live like its on the telly, because now you can. but you never realized how you would LIKE to live. and not after the first expensive party, and not after the second new car. but after a little while, you do relaize how fucking terribly empty you life is.
how fucking terribly empty your head is.

so take a step back, live an honest life for a while and take the time to figure out what you actually want to do.
throw away all the things you thought about "if i had the money i would". throw away all the "luxury life style" you granted yourself because you were happy you can finally afford them.

the only things a man really needs money for is doctors. all the rest of the luxury is just distraction, trying to evade the inevitable.
you own consciousness asking itself: what the fuck do i want to do with my life.

every day i dream about being a millionaire. i just want enough money to live away from society. i never want to have to work again; never want to have to be told what to do again by anyone who i'd have to call boss. it's my dream. i can't stand society, and most people are so dense that they're barely tolerable, if at all.

i envy you, op. you have what i want more than anything else in this world. i know EXACTLY what i'd do with the money. just be comfortable enough to do what i want, and travel where i want. that's it.

>>737683820
Go fuck yourself with this fake ass shit
>>
>>737684622
wrong. you are exactly where OP was couple months ago.

*every* citizen of a capitalist economy, heck, even some from non-capitalist places dream of having fuck-you money and what they would do if they had it.

people NEVER rationally think about what they would do with "never have to work again" kind of money.
because its irrational to believe they would ever have it.
practically nobody gets that shit.
there is a reason they call us the one percent.
because there are not many of us.

yes, maybe if you had the money, you would travel the world for a while and not let anyone tell you what to do. but you would only do that for a while, then you would see that its not fucking human nature to not give a fuck.

people always give a fuck. more than *ANYTHING*, humans need purpose. being truly free is an ideal, not a state someone can stay in. or wants to stay in.

>>737685073

i already know exactly what i'd do with my free time. i'd become a 3d artist and mod a game that i love, and play video games online. i'd go fishing on my own boat. i'd take my family. i'd give my mom a million dollars to do whatever she wants with, just for having me.

believe me when i say, i know what would make me happy. i just want to be left alone as much as possible by the rest of humanity. i'd only interact with them when/if i got bored.

not born millionaires, no, but those like OP. lottery winners, bitcoin investors, inheritance etc.
you dont suddenly stop being a loser just because you got money.
sure, you can pay people to make you look less of a loser.
but you still keep valuing /b/tards opinions higher than anyone elses.
so they keep coming here.

in the beginning they brag with their money, but after some time the realize its moot. pun intended.

I understand that I'm not that kind of a person who can multiply his assets, so for now I don't want go deep into business. The only I want is to meet some people who just really like to waste their time for night clubs and expensive cool things, but absolutely without showing off and being dicks. The problem is that people usually belongs to some class and people in different classes hate each other and usually try to underline their class. So if buy something not related to your class people from your class will think that you are a dick, the same if you are rich and rives shitcar people will think that you are a dick too. anyway I have redneck slang, how to deal with it? Practice with speaking?

i'm aware of that. the idiocy i'm speaking of is inarguable, though. there simply is no debate about it. there's no perspective issue on this; no other way to see what i see as anything other than absolute idiocy, that's rampant across the earth. it's all i can do to keep from losing my shit.

in all seriousness, have you ever taken the mensa test?
i did, in a time when i still naively believed that intelligence can be measured on such simplistic scale.
and it felt great. yeah im soooo much cooler than all those apes around me.

and then i realized that all the intelligence in the world doesnt magically make you a good person.
>>
I wish I had that problem
>>
>>737686879

feeling different from most other people in no way is a good feeling. i'd almost wish to be as dumb as most people; but i'd rather they were all more intelligent. the planet and all the other species inhabiting it would be much better off then.

and i don't see myself as good or bad, actually. just different from most people. take this place, for instance. it's different than most places on the internet, which is why i've been here since 03 or 04. but even here, i'm a bit of an outsider.

being different or more intelligent means nothing, if it means you can't relate to most people. feeling different, you just feel isolated. even when you're surrounded by people.
>>
>>737683820
The damage is already done.

You fucked up because you couldn't continue to live humbly. You gave into base luxury. This is why your friends are different than you. They struggle. You don't.

You are a fucking retard who won the lottery. Your actions prove it.

Now, I suggest that you maintain your wealth and continue to tend and grow it. Only from now on you need to live simply. Quit flaunting that shit like a retard.

And watch your bitch. She might get upset if you try to restrict her luxury now. Women are much more susceptible to that bullshit than men.

Op teach this poor fag how to sell bitcoins
>>
>>737687877
I understand that this is completely a luck, because I did nothing, even with bitcoins, I just allowed one geek in my college to use computers and he paid me a box of beer and some bitcoins. that's why I tried not to lose my money in one moment. But how to be happy again I don't know. I remember my first shitjob, everyday I had to move from one side of the city to another for a tiny salary, but I had motivation, I wanted to become a really cool software developer and make great things, but I lost motivation and started to work for money after a few years. Now I can't believe to work again to become happy, even if it's improving myself to find a better friends or a hobby. I can't stop thinking of paying someone to find me friends or literally make me happy for money.
>>
>>737689545

you want a friend? i'll be your friend. i'll be the best friend you ever had. guaranteed. all that requires, is a minimal fee of 1 million dollars. i'll make you happy again, op. no bullshit. i'm fun to be around, funny, and i'll keep you centered when you need it.

as long as you're not a douchebag, anyway. if you turn out to be a douchebag, i'll give you back half the money and be on my way. i'll consider 500,000 dollars asshole tax for wasting my time.

Maybe make some investments in business.

>>
>>737689545
I think this is why usary was considered a sin. Making money because you have money is an empty practice. Put it somewhere where it will appreciate, think of is as guaranteed retirement and permanent employment leverage, or a means to start a business/charity that you could give a shit about.

Hey op,

You could genuinely help someone out today. I suspect ex of mine whom apparently became an addict recently brought some people to my house and broke in stealing aprox. 7,500$ in silver bullion.

I am currenty on unemployment and looking for a entry level job relevant to my degree. The bullion was kind of my cushion for when my EI ended and to be used towards some debt.

I put 40% of my pay while working as a research assistant into bullion just to save from spending not to "make money"

I'm guna be struggling for food and not well off the next couple months and my savings is toast. I'm not one to ask for help but if you really are in such a finacially positive situation, it'd mean alot to me being someone who never thought i'd be in such a bad finacial positon.

My bitcoin adress is

1Jf364eknRTCo922
mugPRMPGCytn1YS9Sn

My email is [email protected]

i'd actually keep in touch and even be willing to attempt to repay you for helping me down the road when i land a stable job.
>>
>>737684361
This is some pretty good advice, having recently been put in a situation that I don't know how I'll pay my bills or next meal really put what this anon is saying into perspective.

I say try to live modestly forget about and persue what truly makes you happy in life. Something like that you can work towards everyday would help in alot of ways.

Then develop friends based on these interests you find within yourself and the friendship wont have any basis on social class. Just similiar interests.

>Living like a rich asshole when me and my friends never was made me lose my friends.
>but what in the world could I possible doOoOoo?!?!
Fucking a, invest most of your money in one of those accounts where you can't withdraw it for like 20 years. Have just enough to live decently and start chilling with old friends. Say business isn't doing that well but also once in a while buy them a round of drinks to show you appreciate them. You can even just directly talk to them and be like 'ima buy you guys lunch, because I made a lot of money and started losing my head there but I realized I was becoming an asshole. well im sorry if I was a dick. i invested most of what I had left from before, but you bros were fucking awesome so let's get some fucking dinner and drinks, on me!'

>> Million Dollars
>>Life changing amount of money

Pick one.

If you only have like one to two million dollars you shouldn't be quitting your job.

If this isn't a LARP (sounds like some 14 year old having fun who doesn't understand the costs of real life) then the first thing you should have done is met with a financial adviser.

Your bragging about lifestyle sounds to me like you're going to be dirt poor like the loser you where before in no time. Your friends probably understand that you're completely squandering your money and despise the fact that you've been given this amazing luck and you're just throwing it away.

You should be using this to buy a house outright (probably something around a $300k house). If you're 25 or less you should put about $200k in a roth ira, if your 30 or older you should put about $300k maybe more in a roth ira.

You should have an emergency fund, look into a non retirement investment account (safer mutual funds).

If you have a shit job sit down and think about what you want to do for the rest of your life (this isn't enough money to not work).
Use the money to pay for your education.

Basically stop being a stupid faggot, it's not allot of money and you're going to be sucking dick to pay for a mortgage on a million dollar house with a Ferrari in the drive way in a year or two,

I have already invested into small business, a company which owns some tiny fast food kiosks and two tiny hotels. I tried business but it wasn't profitable, I had experience working as software developer/teamlead/project manager in many startsups and I thought I knew everything about startups, I funded a remote laundry service, you subscribe for a regular washing/cleaning services, a courier takes your clothes and on a next day you get your clothes back. I outsourced delivery with local taxi service, but couriers were too rude, I also tried some local delivery services with normal couriers but it was too expensive, I outsourced laundry services, the only my company did was selling. But costs were too high even with everyday enlarging customers base, then I payed small amount of money for a guy and he bought my company because of debts. The same fail I had trying to become a successful trader, I wasted a half of my brokers deposit in a 2 months, then just stopped. I also invested into p2p loans but I only got my money back because of dickheads who thought it was charity. The only I can do is develop software, but I hate everything related to the Computer Science and Software Engineering, because most developers are dicks they only want 2 things - charity for wanking and talking or they need "real tasks" which nobody else need. Software development is a shit, but startups is triple shit.

>>737692158
I live in developing country, comparing to US it's like getting for about 15-20 millions, but I don't know a lot about US, my electricity/heat bills are really cheap even for my country, the same for taxes, here most people don't pay taxes at all and nobody cares unless you need to get a mortgage or send/receive a big amount of money. Life mostly costs nothing.

It's genuinely true, underatandable if you don't believe me though dude it's /b/

Small business sounds like a rough world. Isn't software development a well payin job? Even potentially just do some consulting development work and travel the world a bit op, broaden your mind a bit.
>>
>>737693156
Also thinking - maybe try a job outside of what youd normally ever do for a year. Go work as a cattleman in australia or construction in your current town.

I also agree telling your friends was a poor move my dude. I sent that ex a snap of all my bullion and never thought a thing of it. She had robbbing my house on her mind for months clearly and still denies involvement pretends to be my friend when others around me confirmed it was probably her.

Make some new friends based on what ever interests you have in life, hobbies passions etc.
