Everybody needs some motivation or goals in life... even if they are superficial goals.

You don't even care to chase pussy? Like to travel? Like to see the world? Like superficial toys? Like cars?

If you really are young, and that loaded, the world should be a game for you.

While I like Nietzsche, I think he was a pussy. We live in a purposeless universe, accept it and get over it. Because it's purposeless, we can choose our purpose. I don't like any philosophy that says anything was predestined or determined for us. Blaze your own path.

Most people on Earth disagree with you. Those who agree live in countries that are either Marxist or post-Enlightenment Christian. Coincidentally, those countries are the main producers of people like OP.

I'm not advocating Nietzschean philosophy, but that particular observation of his was very astute.

Here's what's gonna happen:

I'm going to make an attempt to maintain some kind of conversation, give up, and leave
Everything will backfire and I'll end up unwilling to leave the house for any reason at all

This is serious advice -- find the Mr Money Mustache blog and go through the entire thing, reading all the posts that catch your eye. He also has a "save money for the sake of saving money" mindset and was able to leverage that into a very meaningful and free lifestyle, and he has a lot of specific actionable ideas about this.

The advice to move out, and to do psychedelics, are also good.

True words

>>1697068

Fight Club has a really good quote about that:

>God damn it, an entire generation pumping gas, waiting tables; slaves with white collars. Advertising has us chasing cars and clothes, working jobs we hate so we can buy shit we don't need. We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives.

That's why people are so degenerated today. Doing all kind of shit, getting angry over nothing, social justice warriors and so on... They are just bored to fucking death and they don't know what else to do.

u need to move out. trust me.
>>
>>1697165
there were always incredible opportunities to make money if you took risks. there are rags to riches stories from every single generation.

what did change is that it's much more difficult for the average person, i.e. almost everyone, to live a comfortable life. you have to go to college and then suck the right dicks to get a decent job, or suck the right dicks and then go into trades. housing prices are retarded unless you want to live in niggerville or in the middle of nowhere. after you slave away your whole life maybe you'll have enough put away to live the last 5-10 years comfortably when you can barely get out of bed before.

are you ugly af op? if yes then hit up the gym or use your money to get somewhat less ugly (nose job, whatever) that and having a six pack will get to to
about 8/10

if not ugly or you did the above and became less ugly
then your interactions with women should be less beta-maley (like you are now) and you'll find the girl and have kids and live happily and get a goal in life

I'd purchase a house or two (depending on where you live) and rent those out. Start building more income streams and you can always sell the house in the future if you want cash on hand.

You can, generally speaking, get to a point where you make your high 5 figure salary doing nothing but making sure renters aren't shitting on your walls.

Use that free time to go on a modest vacation, treat your family and friends to modestly nice things and go find your purpose.

life is better once you move out. Find a cheap place so you don't go broke.

>feels like I'm increasingly incompetent
This is the only thing that concerns me. You must not let this continue. You WILL regret falling behind in your work. Become a life long learner. Do not fall behind. This is very important. College is not the end of your education, its the end of structured education, at this point you must figure out what the curriculum is on your own or from a mentor.


You only get one chance at life, my dude. Don't fuck this up. You are already ahead of the majority of the species, don't throw it away because you're too lazy to keep learning.

the bulk of people on /biz/ giving advice regarding real estate and investing it in have no idea what they are talking about. in every large city housing prices are sky rocketing, and investors keep moving into shittier and shittier neighborhoods because they are being priced out of the neighborhoods that were affordable 1-2 years ago.

i just bought a house in a solid blue collar suburb that directly borders chicago. in the same suburb, $100-150k two/three bedroom houses on 1/10 to 1/8 acre lots are being bought with cash and closing in 2-3 weeks. a year or two ago those same houses would sit for months at a time before finally someone bought them with a mortgage.

also, i don't know if it's the same retard or a bunch of people parroting each other, but i see the recommendation to buy a duplex/multifamily building and living in one of the units constantly posted. in every single half decent neighborhood in the chicago area (and most large cities i imagine) it makes more sense to buy individual condos and rent them out. duplexes are highly uncommon, and usually each half is independently owned, and multi-unit buildings have a premium (vs buying the same amount of individual units,) around here smaller multi-units often have 3 bedroom units (not optimal for renting,) and higher taxes than individual condos would have. not to mention that individual units are generally more hands off. the association should take care of everything outside the unit, so you really only have to care about everything walls in. of course smaller associations are usually shittier so it takes more time and nerves to get them to do something.

That's exactly the theory I have about SJW. Those people have everything, but need to worry about something, like everyone else. For the poor living in the rural area, its the health of their pasture, for the wealthy in town its social problems or even problems of others that don't even concern them.

Reminder that Nietzsche lived a shitty life and even though he was well articulated that doesnt mean you should take advice from him.

Don't trust emo kids. Just live a normal life and do the things you like. Be self reliant. There is no need to worry about purpose and shit because you will never find an answer and then you will die. Instead spend your time on things that will make you more valuable, healthy, and happy.

A therapist will tell you over and over to stop pretending that your life has to be the way that it is.

You can just accept this now, or can see a therapist. No difference except time and money.

You don't need a catalyst to change, you could just decide to stop doing things you don't like doing.

Opie I was in a pretty similar situation a couple years ago, only difference was I at least had my own apartment because even I wasn't pathetic enough to live with my parents in my 20s

Same case of drifting through life with no purpose, hoarding money for no reason, no motivation to do anything, no goals, etc.

I thought sex would be the answer so I tried hiring some hookers, was fun but a week later I felt the same as I had before (and a few hundred dollars poorer)

Tried travel because everyone said it was lifechanging, I didn't find it too exciting

Tried lifting, it was a small help in the form of giving me a goal to pursue and putting me in better shape, but it's still generally an antisocial activity and I was still drifting

I had never done anything competitive (other than vidya, which doesn't count). Never really played sports and always set the curve on tests in school with 0 effort, so there was never anything I had to go out of my way to win at.

That's why it finally changed when I started training jiu jitsu. Suddenly I had a reason for lifting (to win), a reason for working (to fund my training), a reason for travel (to go to various tournaments). It also re-ignited my social life that had been dead for years, I had a group of friends again, friends who were actually working with me to achieve goals (unlike my previous friends who just wasted their lives playing vidya alongside me).

>/biz/ in charge of philosophy

Nietzsche was the 90's kid on a skateboard amongst contemporary philosophers.
His views on nihilism was that it's radical, not the "nihilists" of today who cry that nothing has meaning, rather than cheer that nothing has meaning.

Fuck, especially >>1697437. It's like you're agreeing with Nietzsche
>>
>>1697664
>His views on nihilism was that it's radical

What ?
He thought it was dangerous and he looked for ways to avoid it.
>>
Alright, this is what you're going to do Saturday morning. Hit the gym hard real early in the morning, force yourself to check out some booty(just quick glances is ok). Come back home and rip a huge bong hit and really take it in. Then listen to some music on Spofity or watch some nice porn.
>>
>>1697664
>falling for the philosophy meme
nobody cares
>>
>>1697667
Dangerous for schmucks.
"I praise, I do not reproach, [nihilism's] arrival. I believe it is one of the greatest crises, a moment of the deepest self-reflection of humanity. Whether man recovers from it, whether he becomes master of this crisis, is a question of his strength!"
He didn't seek to avoid it, he sought to overcome it.
Rather than being saddened by meaninglessness, one applies meaning from the self.

The guy had massive fucking hate for the 'emo' nihilists as those guys described them, and I get really pissed every time Nietzsche is lumped up with them.

He didn't say a black town.

Anyway $200k isn't "Take over a small town" money. You'd need around 5m for that. At least, my small town of 15k people would require about 5mil to purchase infrastructure to outcompete the local telecom, then about 1/2 mill to buyout or undercut our flagship restaurant. Everything else is just slowly pushing out what's there.

Their is a massive 'spiritual' crisis in the western world today that is not talked about. OP is stuck in the eye of the storm.

I am from the rust belt. 60 years ago you could work in a mill and make a good living. Making a living is half of the problem. OP makes a good buck and still hates his life. The other part to this crisis is job satisfaction. Pay a person a decent wage, give him fulfilling work and amazing things will happen.

Mill workers busted their asses in conditions that would be illegal today. However they saw the steel they made go into impressive feats of engineering that still stand today. Without the American steel industry we would not have iconic structures such as the Empire State Building or the Golden Gate Bridge. Nearly all of the people who made the steel and constructed those iconic structures are dead, but people still admire them as pinnacles of American engineering and manufacturing. Go back 4500 years to the pyramids in Egypt. The blood, sweat, and tears thousands of men poured into this project is still known today.

You don't build a legacy on a smartphone application that will be forgotten about in 2 years. Your grandkids won't care about an app you made 40 years ago. To them you may has well have lived in the stone age with the rate of technological progress. Build something either physically impressive or timelessly useful and your descendants will speak of your name and your creations for generations. \\

>>
>>1698352
Its not the anxiety, its the food/water. Being a sheltered American who only drinks water out of plastic bottles and food from reputable stores or eateries, this is what scares me away from traveling the most.

This in addition to aspergers. Neurotypicals who are just shy or anxious can improve, and I'd agree that traveling to a place that forces you to interact with locals and other travelers will help with it. In contrast, I have no problem going places and making words come out of my mouth, but I don't know how to make facial expressions and control body language, at least not at the same time while talking. So everywhere I go people think I'm purposely being rude, condescending or because I don't do the whole smiling and head nodding normies do when they look at each other, yet I often grin while when not looking at people, but it falls right off my face when someone locks eye contact with me. I don't care on a mental level, but my body reacts as if they're trying to suck my soul out of my eyes, so I instinctively look away, and then end up breathing manually.

You sound like me. Got a kickass high paying job with no college education because it was my passion. Over time and crazy hours (ie 90-110 hours a week, every 2 weeks for years) I have lost passion for something that drove me for my entire life. This year I had a nervous break at the beginning of January. I realized I had to change some things, I decided to start smoking weed and microdosing LSD and having 'unique life experiences' (running marathons, visiting with personal trainer, traveling to countries and having sexual experiences with women all over the world). I realized that the only way forward for me, atleast, was massive action, and massive change.

I highly recommend you break your patterns. I felt the happiest I've ever been the second half of this year, and undertook new projects, rebuilt relationships that I felt had been stagnant due to my work-obessiveness - driven by my passion for what I do. Like you, I don't really care as much about money, except as a tool to make my life as friction free and stable as possible.

Trust me, you're in a great position, but it's easy to feel lost if you get burnt out on what previously gave your life purpose. I've been there, and I'm still there to some degree.

One could get a sizable farm for that amount here; it is pretty hard and constant work but with a pace of its own. Raising cattle could be rewarding and a step outside the daily pointless grind

A woman not afraid of the above is pretty gud as well even though her hands won't be as soft as an urbanite's, however both shall age snd at least the former will retain her worth

Life in rural India is not "largely the same" as life in Manhattan, mate. And I'd like to visit both.

And you don't need to be accompanied to do anything. I like driving, for example. You probably like other things. What would you do if money didn't exist and you didn't need to work?
>>
>>1698583
Life in rural India is hardly different from life in rural China or Mongolia or Russia, and I don't need to go there for any reason. I've already been to Manhattan and it sucked.

If I didn't work I would sit around and do what I do with my free time now, which is what I imagine most people on 4chan do.

You just sound like you aren't challenged at your job. What is the next tier at your job? What do you need to advance? Is it a Master's, is it certification?
These days, $200,000 isn't even that much. Don't be fooled by these cashier and NEET-filth that seem so prevalent on social media, they are fucking scum that the Jews present so that people feel better about themselves.
Investing in yourself is probably the best use of your money and time. There is a mountain of research on Industrial Relations, management psychology, job/life satisfaction, expand your mind. You have to focus not only on money, but also respect, prestige and power.

your welcome OP.

also, you should really browse pol if youre white. It should help you out after a while.

No my job is pretty challenging but a master's is worth the equivalent in years of experience, meaning it's worse than worthless

Go to a Les Brown seminar. You need to find something that you enjoy. It isn't our job to figure that out.

Use your savings to go do something WITH PEOPLE. Do not go alone. Join a singles club or some sort of activity club and go do things together. Typically getting into experiences with people is your best way to find a purpose or find friends who will make u happy. Go snowboarding, go hiking, go do karaoke, SOMETHING.

get over it muthafucker. Everyone gets the shits when they go to a 3rd world country, deal with it.

Also, regarding your aspergers or autism or whatever, don't make excuses. Learn techniques, find your own way of dealing with the world.

Or, stay as you are forever, giving excuses to anons on 4Chan, because it makes you feel validated for 5 minutes.

You are responsible for your own experience of reality.

says the shut-in who stuffs their face with taco bell

this is a business board, the obvious answer is why don't you use some of your cash to start a business in a field you think is fun/interesting. Starting a company is fun, especially when you can do it without leverage. If you don't enjoy the process of creating value, solving problems, marketing products/services, building assets, making deals, then business isn't for you! get over it! go to r9k if you want to tell everyone how you can't find purpose in anything you do

>get over it muthafucker. Everyone gets the shits when they go to a 3rd world country, deal with it.
You get the shits from contaminated food, or too much curry. If I traveled to developing countries I would have to carefully research the local cuisine, places for travelers to eat, and what the health standards are.

>Also, regarding your aspergers or autism or whatever, don't make excuses. Learn techniques, find your own way of dealing with the world.
My way of dealing with the world is just to not care, go wherever I want and talk manually. But it not realistic to expect people to like me or to personally depend on people for favors.

>>1698478
>You are responsible for your own experience of reality.
no, the vast majority of this depends on genetics, upbringing and dumb luck. I have full control over my subjective state of being, but this will always be limited by the objective reality. Successful people like to believe that their success was due to their own efforts, but this is 95% bullshit, the other 5% being a person's "free will" to make decisions and take actions.

The only apparently serious solutions for my savings have either been drop your stable good job for a shitty risky "muh business meme" or continue saving for financial independence, most likely because those really are the only solutions.

Otherwise the responses here are surprisingly the same bullshit I'd get anywhere, to move out and get a hobby. Well ok let's forget that I was looking around for hobbies and didn't get into anything, how is having a hobby and paying rent going to help me? I'll have motivation to be a wagecuck because a third of my pay will go to housing and I'll be able to blow the rest on something I desperately try to enjoy?

This. Men making eye contact immediately puts me in flight-or-fight mode, like they're trying to assert dominance over me, and I refuse to acknowledge it. I especially hate when guys do that thing where they stare at you and nod- cause I'm too autistic to tell if its a friendly gesture or not, and too autistic to respond nonverbally anyway.

this is true, which is why I kinda hate the software side of things
the name of these devs won't be printed in history books, and no one will even care about a thing called "android" in 10 years from now. also, we don't even see where the fruits of our work end, we simply do something and expect randomness to help us

all of this sucks, I want to contribute to the society, but I also want to see my contributions in a tangible way. yet most of these things aren't tangible, and no one will care in the future about them, or about us

This would work for someone who is just shy, but not autistic. No matter how much I understand about social skills, its not going to make me able to make facial expressions and use body language like a neurotypical. In terms of socializing I am not afraid to go places and make words come out of my mouth, but it will always be out of sync, unable to establish a rapport. They say 97% of communication is nonverbal, so it makes sense that us autists fail at socializing, and any attempts to mimic normalcy come off as forced, robotic and creepy. While in contrast, an autist who accepts himself and doesn't play fake nice with people, while at the same time careful not to be a rude asshole, can become quite the beloved eccentric.
