/co/, if you're so smart why aren't you rich?

>>81917400
Because fucks like you set up a system where an otherwise decent person is forced to sell out their gifts in the name of survival, and then block and destroy any means of them prospering when they demand a fair shake.

>>81917400
I'm not a cleaver man.

>>81917400
Because I'm not smart.

Do you realize how expensive custom tailored green suits and metal question-mark staffs are? And don't get me started on the themed traps; do you think you can just buy a giant typewriter at a store? You have to get that shit commissioned.

if you're so rich, why didn't you fix that gap in your front teeth? You look like a fucking little rascal. Spanky

I like how they're blending the 1960s batman with modern dark and gritty batman. What issue was this anyway?

PERSISTENCE. Not brains, it's PERSISTENCE which brings success. There are lots of super smart/talented people working minimum wage jobs because they just don't give a fuck. Meanwhile pic related clawed, knifed and blew her way to the top based on REEEEEEEEEEEE I WANT IT I WANT IT I WANT IT NAO alone.

>>81922401
This is sorta true, hard work and a plan beat talent or smarts. You gotta have a plan and you gotta pursue it.

Money brings misery. I'm smart enough to want as little of it as I can to survive.

I make $75k+ working 40 hours a week without a college degree. You tell me.

The trick is to be happy with what you've got.

Because I'm dead.

>>81917400
Because taking advantage of stupid people is way easier than being smart.

>>81923795
This nigga gets it. I make 300k a year and I'm not happy but that's because my dog died. Rip speedy :(

My parent's weren't rich, or even lower middle class for that matter. I'll be damned if I'm going to waste my life working like a slave to achieve a higher social standing in a meritocracy I give less than a shit about. I'm content working 20 hours a week for 40k a year. Thank you very much.

Gaga and Katy Perry are 2 more examples. What is it someone said about them? "A thimble full of talent in an ocean of ambition." In other news, Gaga needs to play Dazzler.

>300k a year

Fuck you nigger I'd eat my dog, not just raw but still alive and fighting, for a 100k a year job let alone 300k.

And my dog wouldn't even be mad.

I think the question actually is: Anon, if you're so smart why are you in 4chan?

Because I spend a lot of money on health care and medication. About $500 a month just to keep myself alive.

What kills me is knowing that generic brand versions of my medicine exists, but America refuses to sell them. I'd have to get them from Canada. But if I do then I'm effectively wasting the health insurance that I have to buy and can't switch to a less expensive version of without incurring a penalty.

I wish I wasn't sick. It's not even a huge terminal illness or anything, it's just an intestinal ulcer. Hopefully I'll get to graduate college where they'll provide a cheaper health insurance for me. It's too bad I'd have to take out another student loan to do that on the off chance I'll get a better job through a Master's degree, though.

Christ, my life is a mess. I wish I could just sell a book and never worry.

Because I do not believe that hoarding an absurd amount of I.O.U. which values and quantities fluctuates to the wanton desires of the fucktards who control the printing press is that great of an idea, especially when said fucktards have an conflict of interest when it comes managing it properly since they make even can even print and loan out more I.O.U. if the economy goes down the shitter under the guise of economic recovery, actually making the situation even worse for everybody, except themselves because they are raking in the dough with all these faulty payers since they can repossess the entirety of their belonging to pay their debt back! For a bank its amazing, a loan of 20K given to a bad payers can become an entire house & belongings, ready to sold for pure profit! A house by itself around these times goes for a good 100k-200k, if not more, so for them its a nearly insured potential of a return of investment of ~1000% in a few years of wait. This is like winning the lottery on demand from a bank point of view, and since the grand majority of banks worldwide are now solely owned by privates counterpart in it for the profit, why would they bother with decency and not just rake in the cash?


Ain't for no reason the housing bubbles happened, you know.

A guy I knew was a business advisor who specialised in large-scale expansion of successful small businesses. When asked if there was something these successful people had in common, he said, "Yeah, most of them were too stupid to realise that what they were trying to do would almost certainly fail."

Because wealth is a socially distributed resource. It's passed down through families and opportunities to make it are usually given to those who are connected to the right people. Those who are able to become wealthy purely from intelligence or ability are the exception not the norm.

they need to keep it expensive until the pharmaceutical company makes back what it spent on R&D :^)

If Pharma was not driven by profits, do you think we would have all the medicines we have?
