>tfw you want to get so rich you dont have to worry about

What do you mean by substance? Friends? forget about them, they bring an illusion of belonging and happiness.
Become your own best friend and earn a shit ton of money so that you can buy and do whatever you want

give me all of your money, i will make and send you interesting things that just by your possession can lead to "substance"

Substance as in pursuing your craft
mine is art and I draw all day and night and its like staring into the abyss because I might not ever make it

and I know tons of people like me who end up working at Starbucks or being some nobody at a big studio where fat jews eat up their work and take all the money

To get to higher levels of wealth, you need to deliver higher levels of value OR be able to live off of much lower than what you currently get.

But, even those that make it big with their passions have to spend enormous amounts of time on it PLUS spend large amount of time on self-promotion to get noticed. This extra promotion time is not really talked about, but is completely necessary in this plan. And, for every one of those, I'd be willing to bet 9 don't make it.

OTOH, the slow "slave 'n save" plan is pretty straightforward and quite simple. Earn as much as possible, live below your means and take calculated risks. But, it does take time and the rewards aren't really as big on average as the "rockstar" plan above.

I dunno, I did plan 2, it worked out and it will for you too if you want it to. But it's not glamorous and quite thankless to boot. In the end, you just fade from sight after you've extracted what you need from society.
