I know what, right does it matter if a Gypsy has magic spells if she has to live a long life of poverty. You know she can never be happy with her busted rotten teeth and one eye.

As a person who is a lazy and earned nothing himself, I must say that being rich is really nice. Like it is like automatic happiness. Nothing brings content to the mind like going into your ultra modern and spacious house filled with all the top-of-the-line latest technology. Anyone who I invite over to see the house is in instant awe.
Just sayin'.

And I got lasik surgery. No more glasses. Sounds simple but it is one of the greatest freedoms of life. Highly recommend. 10/10.

New car? The new car happiness lasts for a very long time. I am still happy with that one. I love my car the same as when I got it new.

New PC. So many laptops and extra external harddrive. I have my Xbox and Ps4 that I never even use. Having a slow PC is such a preventable handicap.

As opposed to my friends who live in filthy apartments and couples living in normal sized standard homes, not being poor and not having to live paycheck to paycheck makes life nearly stress-free. I don't worry about shit.

It is like I live at the top of Maslows pyramid. Other people live their lives at the very bottom.

Who can argue that the person living in that super fancy house isn't living better than their hobo counterparts. It is super easy to say one is happy or not happy. But it is not easy to walk away and not choose massive wealth if given the opportunity. What would you do with new found wealth? How much free time would you have to pursue your dreams and things you always wanted to do in life. You get invisalign and get perfect teeth. You make friends so easily, people are just nice to you. You already have that gym membership but not you can buy that buff-ass personal trainer. You get to have a great wardrobe, you get to dress how you always wanted to look.
It is one of the things people know is true but they just don't say it, being the opposite of poor is being happy, given you're not a mental case retard.

It is part of the wonderful religion, powerful Jews who are filthy disgustingly rich preach and encourage that so people will get off their backs.
As a matter of fact, they even encourage forgiveness. You can cut them up and rob them and they are to forgive you and feel good about it. Imagine an entire population and nation of this. It makes it super easy and safe for the intelligent and monetarily blessed to live side-by-side amongst the would be slaves, the willful ignorant.

There are a lot of things that you can own and collect if you are not poor.

In fact it would be downright stupid to have a massive expensive sneaker collection if you lived in a 1 bedroom shit hole.

If your sink breaks and leaks, a quick call to plumber, fixed. Auto problems, a call to dealer, free loaner, problem insta-solved. People with fat bank account and emergency funds accruing no interest really have nothing to worry about. Nearly everything can be solved professionally by someone else for you.

That fat hanging off your gut that you just can't seem to lose? Liposuction! Yes that is something that rich people regularly do. They even give you a big prescription to some super feel good pain pills. That is a rich person luxury, the doctor hooks you up.

Having a 2nd home, multiple vacations a year. Your Facebook is just insane with pictures to drive your poor less successful highschool friends into depression.

No one really is able to brag about being rich or being happy, especially not in person, (unless they want to get their face punched in.) But guess what, those people still exist! There are 50 states in the USA, residing are 10,000,000 people who are millionaires.

That is silly, again you stereotype and generalize. You act as if all rich people were bad and greedy, but that is only a small portion of them, as with any class. People are not identical. Humans are not biologically and mentally the same. Some poor people are saints and are happy, while some poor are wretched criminals. The exact same thing can be said for the rich.
People always downplay the relevance of the IQ test but it is very accurate in its prediction of a large group.

>>18528503
I don't blame them.
You can't blame the product for its creation. They can only know what they are told, and those with material wealth are told it is all they need. It is all they know and all they will be aloud to o know by their peirs.
Wealth is a form of segregation, which is why you'll never see a rich person anywhere near a middle class or lower.

My trips.

Anyways, emotions such as happiness can be subjective. A handicapped person who cannot remember who their family is can be happy all day. Ignorant bliss. That doesn't mean he has the secret to happiness. Happiness has to come from the individual, from within. Some find it in love, others in work, achieving their goals. You have to be happy first before you seek wealth. Poverty is the main driving force for change, you work hard your whole life just so you can pass on something to your children to they have a better life, well it is for non-black people.

>>18528555
Right so why don't the rich use their wealth to help end suffering? Especially the suffering that is direct result of the gain of that wealth?

No rich person uses their money for a just cause otherwise there would be no poverty and segregation.

Well, just sayin, I think if you were to become rich, you would be happy. At least happier in life. You would worry less about some things. You still have normal people problems. Family drama, gossipy friends, late for work.
And if you giving heaps of your monies to strangers makes you happy? Do it! You want to try to multiply your monies through investment and job creation? Do it! You want to fund lobbyist to raise taxes for people with jobs? Do it! You need to do what makes you happy, instead of judging others for being happy.

I dispise all political views I don't believe man is fit to lead himself. I am neither lib, repub, dem, Commy none of it, I believe in a natural order and all forms of material wealth are attempts to counter that, because man fears his dimise so he synthisises power by accumulating physical possessions instead of bettering his being. I know many bussines owners, yes small bussines and I intend to start my own, none are wealthy by any means, you can not earn wealth by helping your community, you can only have it by taking from your community. Wealth causes poverty, look at third world nations, they were perfectly fin until the western world come through with its delusions of gander and told the indiginious people that their way of life is shit because they don't rely on currency, wenbougjt with us diseases, chemical compounds that theybhad never encountered and garbage to fill their land and we produced poverty for them, before money poverty didn't exist, because it couldn't. If you see yourself as wealthy you are a cause of poverty simply because you allow it.

Even without being the 1percent IG you had even jut 1 mill you could start q school for under priviladged kids in a third world nation that you are indirectly responsible for destroying, you could start a homeless shelter to feed those who can not feed themselves, but no that sports car looks good in my garage, that lawn won't maintain itself, that pool won't clean itself, that other property looks nice I think I need it all. Fuck everyone else because they chose poverty... Right?

>>18528662
>To live fully in soul, man must have love; and love is denied expression by poverty.
>A man's highest happiness is found in the bestowal of benefits on those he loves; love finds its most natural and spontaneous expression in giving. The man who has nothing to give cannot fill his place as a husband or father, as a citizen, or as a man. It is in the use of material things that a man finds full life for his body, develops his mind, and unfolds his soul. It is therefore of supreme importance to him that he should be rich.

No way , this is totally /x/. What you say has truth to it. Even though it is not an absolute, to find love, personal wealth can do a lot to achieve it. On the otherside, people with nothing can be happy as long as they have each also. But having little or nothing also comes with many unforeseen burdens. How does it feel to see your loved one starving? Don't they deserve better? They need you to get a job and live the real American dream, not demand gifts from government that comes from taxing your hard-working neighbors.

>>18528692
>I dispise all political views
I gtg so I don't have time to satisfactorily answer all your concerns, but you sound like a Marxist or a Nihilist? The true form of communism has no currency, just the value of people in the amount who contributes most to their community. Due to sheer fact that power corrupts, all government is inherently evil, it is to serve the people but they end up only serving themselves at the cost of the people.

>I know many bussines owners, yes small bussines and I intend to start my own, none are wealthy by any means, you can not earn wealth by helping your community, you can only have it by taking from your community.
This is incorrect. A business is a thing that makes money, profit, it pays some of its profit to its employees, in turn their employees spend that money. They are all tax and that tax is used for public services. The community overall grows and prospers because of this.

>Wealth causes poverty, look at third world nations, they were perfectly fin until the western world come through with its delusions of gander
Before the industrial age, most parts of the world had very bad living conditions compared to today. Disease, no indoor plumbing. Low average life-span. Even the streets of New York was littered with horse poo. You believe that if all humans lived like animals there would be no such thing as low standards of living, that is wrong.

>school for under priviladged kids in a third world nation that you are indirectly responsible for destroying, you could start a homeless shelter

You can do that yourself. Infact, the US and many US based charities do this on the annual basis, spending billions on helping the impoverished. You can't help those that don't want to help themselves.

>but no that sports car looks good in my garage, that lawn won't maintain itself, that pool won't clean itself, that other property looks nice I think I need it all.

Yes I agree, you seemed to have missed the point, the business owners are not wealthy, because they help their community, instead of treating ever customer as a number, small business will never generate large wealth, because they give back to the community the live in. Where as large bussines pays a small fraction of its profit to its workers and siphones the rest of the moneybout to CEOs who have likely never been to the towns their franchises operate it leaving a large percentage ofgtge wealth being taken from communities not put into. That's an undeniable fact. Here in Australia their are two major supermarkets that have their hand in nearly every other franchise you come across here, the leading one 1/3 of all money spent in Australia is in it or one of the many franchises it owns, it active rips of farmers to the point 90% of dairy farmers have gone out of bussines because the franchise sets prices meaning they can demand what ever they want leaving many earning less than it cost to produce. Tell me how that is not the wealthy directly cause suffering and in many cases pushing people to suicide, but if you were to meet one of these ceos they would seb themselves as god because they have the money to walk on whomso ever they wish without consequence, the same thing is happening in all industries, and it is only to further the gap between the richxand poor. Rich are selfish

That's because it is set up to be doomed to fail, most money spent on combating poverty ends up back where it started, you have to pay someone to coordinate these funds, you have to pay someone to distribute these funds you have to pay someone to build these facilities you have to pay someone to maintain these facilities, you have to pay someone to man these facilities, very little of the money goes to actually helping people its just made to lookblike it does so chumps like me can donate and the money can end up in the pockets of a franchise again.

I don't know what you mean, you need to cite some references, business start small, once they accumulate capital they can grow to create more profit. More money for everyone. The city or town is worth more than it was before.

>Where as large bussines pays a small fraction of its profit to its workers and siphones the rest of the moneybout to CEOs
I agree man. CEOs of the Forbes500 need to be dragged into the street and shot. They destroy companies and peoples lives while getting 100 million dollars in severance package. It is BS.

>Here in Australia their are two major supermarkets

>it active rips of farmers to the point 90% of dairy farmers have gone out of bussines because the franchise sets prices meaning they can demand what ever they want leaving many earning less than it cost to produce.
There is a law of supply and demand, a ripoff will only last for a short time before the freemarket forces it back into order. No one really gets ripped off except when the government interferes. A transaction only happens if both parties agree. Anti-Trust laws make monopoly tactics criminal.

>Tell me how that is not the wealthy directly cause suffering and in many cases pushing people to suicide,
That is a bit of an extreme assumption. Your use of describing the wealthy is too value. The top 1% are just pure evil, but no one makes another kill themselves.

I find this to be obnoxious meaningless bullshit, and I'm a staunch skeptic/non-believer.

For one thing, it's really trying to sell you really hard on why it's good to want to be rich. It should be obvious that having money means you don't have to worry about surviving. But the thesis is that you're not even a human being unless you pursue being 'rich'. Meanwhile, a guy making minimum wage in the US is literally in the top 5% of the entire world. Sure, there's a significant drop off below the top 1% but in order to be a billionaire it's necessary to collude with politicians and war mongers to fix the marketplace in order that you can accumulate more wealth.

That is very true. The average American, even the poorest Americans, are still by far wealthier than most people of other countries.
Even today the average America has a superior standard of life than those of ancient Kings, who had no indoor plumbing or access common drugstore medication.
What that brings up is that it is indeed mental and subjective to the eye of the beholder.
Sweden, Japan, Norway, South Korea, have young adults that commit suicide. Yes they may be failures compared their peers, but they are still lightyears better and more intelligent than most people of the world, it is because they are not able to keep up with their peers that they feel unhappy and hopeless, they have no real objective viewpoint to see how not bad, life is. They only make 40k a year instead of 150k and they kill themselves.
Where as in America, African-Americans have the highest self-esteem in personality tests at the same time the lowest tested IQ score, and they have the lowest rates of suicide among all races. They get everything handed to them for free yet they are angry because that is not enough, they want it all.

>What a load. Those with the least to give, give the most a homeless man shares his blanket he has given you his most prized possetion to share, a wealthy man gives you 10,000 dollars he gave you but a fraction of his wealth and did not truly experience the joy of giving, true wealth surpasses the physical realm, to give love is the most a man can give and to receive it is the ultimate gift
>Have fun standing on everyone and abandoning love for the material
>/thread

You can keep your stinky blanket, I'll take the 10grand plz. 99% of humans get and give love in some form in one way or another, but barely does any scratch the longterm happiness factor.

Most rich peoples arent happy, they mad becuse they can't buy happyness that I have and I not even that rich. Plus I dont want to be rich becuse most of the time they get depressed because of the problems it brings. The secret to happy is setting goals and having friends and family and faith in the lord that all you need, that why most rich peoples fail at life to.

>the common sense to work hard, spend wisely, and to save

Come back when you get rich doing that. I'll wait.

Having money is cool and all, but that's not how you get significant quantities of it.

Money opens a lot of doors. Think about it in terms of "timelines". If you have a lot of money , you can "buy" different timelines that are better than yours. A lot of timelines are expensive, but there are others which are absolutely free.

Having money means you don't have to make an effort trying to find out those cheap timelines , which I don't know if it is a good or a bad thing. I believe working through obstacles is what helps people improve. If you're a rich spoiled brat, you have never been hungry, you have never been cold, you have never learned how to haggle. if you have money , it becomes your source of power. Instead of gaining personal power, you use the power others have created for themselves.

Is that good? Maybe. As long as you have enough power without money, I would say it is fine. The problem is that most people with money are absolutely useless if they don't have it.

Money can't buy happiness

Rich kids, learn that money can't buy LOYALTY

Which is something more important than love, happiness, or any of those feel good stuff
