/biz/ - Business & Finance

Hey biz, im a 21 y/o American that grew up poor. Single mother that couldn't pay the bills and got evicted before I was done with high school. I wagied at an Amazon Warehouse starting with 0 dollars until I could start saving and I've got a pretty decent 45kish networth (I need to put more from my bank into crypto, yes, I know)

When I look around and see people my age or older (even my mom) living check to check or in debt or broke I get this immense feeling of self satisfaction, and I loathe rather than pity them. Yeah, I know 45K isn't "made it" especially compared to some of you spergs with six figures but I'm the only 21 yo I know like myself so I'm pretty proud of it.

When I see a person who I can tell is poor (ie: peers who I know aren't like me or old ass people at bars ordering cheap beer) I internally seethe and I just think to myself what the fuck are they doing with their life and I consider them trash, less than useless.

I realize that makes me a high roading asshole who isn't grateful for what I have and you'd think that'd make me a miserable fuck but I smile to myself every time I see a wagie or a sad old boomer, I think its pretty messed up but ultimately I dont see a direct problem with it (how do I profit off this?)

Basically I just wanna ask am I based or do I just have the serial killer switch flipped on in my DNA but my brain is too busy thinking about money for it to be detrimental to me? Is this what politicians and CEOs feel like?
