If he never goes out, does he have sex with prostitutes or what?

>>1303914
he has a girl on and off, he never really had a lot of girls in his life. he goes out to hang out with his friends at a bowling alley and small things like that

He has most likely done it all already and has realized, just like you will, that people are dicks and youre best left alone.

>>1303901
Sounds humble af

But if I was him I would definitely live the life if you know what I mean

It's fucking nothing until you realize you have literally 40 million and can just sit in your modest home all day with your 2 dogs, 2 cats, 10 chickens or something and an aquarium and do absolutely god damn nothing for the rest of your life if you want or at least until you think of something better to do.

If I had a fucking 10th of that I'd be good for like 20 years at least. I'd probably just bide my time until I found something I was passionate about and wanted to do again.

Not everyone here is a wannabe Bilzerian or whatever.

Maybe OP's neighbor has 40 mil -because- his major hobby is sitting at home with his dogs or whatever.

People say they want to be millionaires but they really don't. They just want to spend a million dollars.

Rich people who weren't born rich realize that ballin out of control doesn't actually make them happy.

>>1303934

40 million is Yact personal jet levels of money, but it gives you unlimited personal freedom to do anything you want for the rest of your life.

Even just 1 million unlocks life to its fullest potential for anyone.

If you spend money like a gangster you'll wind up a gangster. Spending impulsiveness is mostly for hollywood types. People who earned their wealth usually know better.

>>1303901

For many wealthy people, their single biggest thrill is making more money.

It's something I always scoffed at and frustrated me when I had no money. I'd look at these rich people and go, "holy shit, you don't even need to work, you could just get on a jet and go around the world doing fun shit! Why don't you!?"

But after I started making money I started seeing it from their perspective. It's an accumulation of power and you can flex it however you want whenever you want. And the thrill of the kill does become addictive.

I know someone who is worth 140 million

He wears JC Penny suits and Seiko watches.

He drives a 180k car, but still, his clothing is all mall tier

ugh commoners think I want to mingle with them how rude.

>I know someone who is worth 140 million

I don't care where his suit is from...he wears a suit...
Drives a 180k car

>"hurr durr this proves this guy is wrong!"

My guess is the guy is over 30. Depending on the age, they may already "been there, done that, got the t-shirt." The person probably did the travel and experiences before you met them. There are only a few places in the world to which I will travel. For the rest I have already done it or something similar to it. Similarly when one finds clothes, friends, locations that suit them, why go somewhere else. Enough money give one the ability the ability to say "f..k you." That ability, even when rarely uses it is incredibly satisfying. Almost finally, age and injury slows one down. Many times I partied until after day light. Now if I go past 2 am, I am useless for three days. Finally, boarding pets or finding a decent sitter is a true pain.

>>1304081
he was saying that the guy wouldn't even wear the suit if he didn't have to and he would still be richer than you'll ever be

Ask your friends what makes a person wealthy, or what do you think of when you think of wealthy people. Most people start stating material possessions like a Ferrari, mansion, yacht ect. Also most people think that people with a high income are wealthy. high income doesn't always equal wealth. It's about revenue and expenses.What people also don't realize is that those items are just expenses. People are who are rich need to live off of there saving and investments. It's a mindset that poor people don't understand.

As it looks bad when you show up in a Ferrari to work.

>>1304127
>As it looks bad when you show up in a Ferrari to work.
hmm.. i'd never considered that desu. i always figured having a ferrari means you're beyond the need to work anymore

BY 40's if you are well off you should have traveled to pretty much all euro capitals, usa both east and west, canada too, asia including singapore, hong kong, china big three, japan, taiwan and south korea.

if you ask any elderly people they all wish they would have traveled more. travelling is really astonishing it gives you constantly new ideas and experiences. you dont have to stay long at same place so basically if your'e european you could easily visit 5 completely different cities and cultures at one quick trip. hell, book every weekend one flight per city for example

>>1304149
>you should have traveled to pretty much all euro capitals
guess I missed out

>>1303918
did he earn his money or did he get it from his folks?
if he was raised rich then he may well just have no drive, no get up and go. a life of comfort challenges no one. if all his dreams are fulfilled then he has no more dreams to reach for.

or perhaps he is just depressed as he knows that life is meaningless.

Peter Thiel has said of his venture capital firm, that he "never invests in a tech CEO wearing a suit" - which is strange, since he often is shown wearing suits.
Perhaps he means that he is looking for 'outliers' and the thinking that made him successful, is not necessarily the thinking that will make new rockstars successful.

Disruptive business models and game-changing products come from non-conformist outliers and oddballs that hack, steal, cheat, experiment, before having a vision.

>burgerlander detected

I get that some people don't like travel.
But anyone saying they would like to travel but are scared of X happening, is a fucking pussy who will probably die of something stupid like slipping in the shower or food poisoning. That's the tragedy to me.

Fucking live a little and stare death in the face if that's what it takes. If you're poorfag you can do better than most ever will by reading even a few self-defence books, taking a couple classes, practicing boxing, martial arts, or carrying whatever weapons, improvised or otherwise, you can. Learn precautions and take them. Don't be a weak target.

And if you're rich, you have the option of hotels with security, bodyguards, private security firms, bulletproof vest, cars, more protection than 99% of people will ever know.

>>1303901
Grew up as the "rich kid" in my area, I live in the "rich" area of my city.

All my friends would constantly go on holidays, but, in my 18 years I went on 3.

Who needs temporary happiness at some meme of a place when I live in a house better than any suite with my own servants already as well as the ability to purchase/hire expensive toys like jetskis, parachuting, cars and boats in the comfort of my own home.

Or maybe, people are just different.

travel is fucking garbage
ive only been to three continents but thats enough for me to know leaving america is fucking awful

Many rich people get off on the suffering of others. Maybe your friend did spend some money, bulldozing an orphanage or buying a hit piece on unionized workers that he thinks have too much.

this is an important piece of info if you are building a profile of someone. this makes him different from everyone else.

i'm not suggesting it explains the behaviour of being rich and staying at home, but it does offer an explanation as to why he sees the world differently.

>>1303901
Cause your buddy is a f....... cuck.
OR he already did, or is doing it and just not telling so as not to make you jealous.

Sounds like you're just a jealous cum swapping faggot op. Not all of us have the annoying need to fullfil bucket lists and "muh memories", enjoy having an addiction and no be able to find happiness within.

>>1305186

>I didn't get your point.
But I got yours.
You seem to be under the mistaken impression that "traveling to all euro capitals" is the equivalent of being cultured.
Everyone I know travels, and none of them have done this.
Probably because they'd rather spend time in the cities they enjoy, rather than include the shit holes for the sake of coloring in all the squares on the map.

Not wearing a suit is already the norm, does he think we're still in the 60s...?

In the tech world at least, wearing a suit makes you an outsider.

>>1304069
Wearing a suit is not about showing off your money. It's about dressing properly, respecting your peers, and self-restraint.

Wearing fashionable and tight-fitting casual clothes, on the other hand, is showing off (even more so since the saddening birth of "luxury casual" with $1000 branded sneakers, etc.).

>>1306092
>Wearing a suit is not about showing off your money. It's about dressing properly, respecting your peers, and self-restraint.

kek. 99% of people wear suits just so people will think that they are important

>Wearing fashionable and tight-fitting casual clothes, on the other hand, is showing off (even more so since the saddening birth of "luxury casual" with $1000 branded sneakers, etc.).

this.

Something I hope we all aspire to.

>>1305895
Did you get my point, or are you confusing me with another poster?
I'm not the guy who said you are uncultured or anything because you don't want to visit Europe,
I was responding to you posting photos of (?) I don't know what? Some dead guys? I don't even know what that photos from. I can tell you that the UK press has recently pretty much been covering a certain mass shooting, and I think you know where that is...
Protip: it's not in Europe.

My point, however, was aimed at those who won't travel because they are pussies scared of mostly non-existent threats, or think they will be robbed and raped by a swarm of migrants.

That's who I'm talking to.
Do it because you don't care for travel, but not out of fear of the unknown or some shit.
Just do a world tour once in your life to see a different way of life, somewhere you might prefer.

I agree that a lot of European cities are trading on past glory, Paris and Monaco mostly haven't been classy for decades and are overpriced.
Having said that, rural Croatia is beautiful, and Amsterdam is still my spiritual home even though I'm a britbong. It is clean, calm, peaceful, chilled, not too big, you can't get lost, you can cycle everywhere and leave your bike unlocked, and cops don't hassle you over bullshit. And of course, brothels and weed.

>>1306881
>99% of people wear suits just so people will think that they are important

Do you wear a suit for weddings or funerals to make people think you're important? Or just because it's proper attire?

Anyway, if you wore suits on a daily basis, you'd know no one is impressed by your suit. You could be a CEO as well as a small-timer doing a job interview. No one cares.

Thus a suit means nothing per se (except that you're not currently doing factory work). It's neutral.

>the expensive designer stuff looks better sometimes because it's way more expensive

Meh. It's way more expensive because the fashion company likes big profits.

>>1307032
>Paris and Monaco mostly haven't been classy for decades

I was going to answer something, then I saw:

>I'm a britbong

So your opinion is invalid.

>>1305336
I find traveling to be overrated unless I can speak the language. Why do I want to blow a lot of money going to Asia or Europe to hang out with people like me in hostels when I can just do that at home. When I traveled to France and South America I thoroughly enjoyed it because I speak French and Spanish and could actually immerse myself in the culture. If I didn't, I would mainly be doing it for instagram likes or whatever.

>>1307053
>Why do I want to blow a lot of money going to Asia or Europe

the thread was about what to do if you got the money. in general you get pretty good picture of one's background just asking how much they've been travelling in their lives.

what do wealthy people do when they retire and have the time? they travel mostly. what a waste would it be to stay in the same area or country your whole damn life.

>>1303934
rich NEETs is what we should all aspire to be

Going to prague next weekend. Cheap beer and medieval architecture

>>1307067
This, and you're not going to Europe or Asia only to fuck hoes and meet dudes to party with, you're going there to see amazing cities and nature you've never seen before. How could anyone not want to see every beautiful mountain range, city, medival town, canyon, river, glacier, mueseum, ancient ruin, wonder of the world, desert, and beach in the world?

Smh. Amd travelling is much much less stressful when you don't have to worry about money.

>>1303901
>Rich NEET
>Not enviable

most here would probably kill for that option - he obviously likes animals, likes to eat, and now he gets to enjoy those pleasures without ever having to work if he so chooses. He lives a simple life of satisfying his wants.

>>1307053
Travel for most people is to experience and see different things. Speaking the language is rarely necessary as the language and cultural barriers are part of that experience - realistically though I think most people travel to see something specific in person - eg. Grand Canyon, Mt. Fuji, the Eiffel Tower, or perhaps something less impressive but equally fascinating eg. the unusual way people live in favalas or the crippling poverty of central Africa and so on. It is impossible to speak every single language but that should not stop someone from visiting every part of the world to see what it has to offer.

>>1303998
Basically this
Actors dont "earn" their money. They basically won the lottery to just be an actor and get paid stupid high income

>>1307090
LOL if you believe that. the 0.01% of actors that make fucktons of cash had to put some wrinkly producers cock in their mouth

>>1307067
Not everyone likes to travel.

Saying you've "travelled" because you stayed two days in a city... well, it's a bit curious.

It's like saying you're a "lover" because you fuck a $300 escort each weekend.

>>1307032
Confusing you with another poster, this guy >>1304149

I don't have any problem with travel in Europe, I've been to several capitals there.
But I'm not going to suggest that "visiting all of them" is some sort of goal for wealthy types, the way that guy did.

That's what most rich people do. They sit on their cash, don't invest (and if they do it's on speculative shit like real estates, gold, stocks, etc, which doesn't result in job creation or give anything back to the economy) and all the while the economy dries up because they act like wrenches in the wheels.

>>1307112

>>1303901

I used to think the same but think about it. You get rich and do the travel thing for a couple of years, how long until you've been to the majority of interesting places and it gets old like most things. That's why you should never buy your dream car, you'll ruin it for yourself.

>>1307116
According to a UBS study, the average billionaire has 47% of his net worth in private equity (= his own businesses), and 19% in cash.

Check your eyes. Pic related.

>>1307112
Kek you must be kidding... Are you saying investing in stock market does not help the economy? It's literally most efficient money for the private sector. Only sector that matters for growth in long run. That's why the top 5% owns 80% isn't at all acting like "wrenches in the wheels". Actually their invested money is much better use as it would be if it was taxed and spread for government use.

And in general when people have more money to spend they spend it more wildly. Taxation, rising housing costs etc. reduce spending very efficiently

>>1307133
Just read this guy's >>1307134 post.
You don't know what you're talking about.

>>1307045
Yes, and that was the best retort you could muster?
Please, oh cultured one, don't spare the others your wisdom on my account!
Care to expand on your reasoning for discounting my opinion on either Paris or Monaco?
"I'm a britbong" tells you nothing about me,
And people who travel often, or are well-travelled,
Tend to understand, or come to realise, that most people are pretty much the same in most ways that matter.
Perhaps you haven't traveled much...

>>1307142
Actually, she doesn't know what she's talking about. It's part of the problem.

>>1307099
Cool.
And I agree, it certainly isn't.
I've stayed in many top hotels and eaten in fine restaurants in Paris and Monaco, but truth be told, I've had just as much fun, if not more, just bumming around Asia or Latin America, and your money lasts 10 times as long.

>>1307067
Most people "travel" by visiting hotels and generic tourist resorts, so it doesn't matter how much they were travelling in their lives.

Some people dislike travels and will often not pursue this activity. I met people who instead engage with the local community all their life.

>>1307147
Ok, dude.
You're the one claiming that people should have to spend their money in ways which
"result in job creation", otherwise, they're "wrenches in the wheels".
Why are you guys so butthurt about speculation?

Keep in mind, most economists (like most anyone else) are in the tank politically for one side or the other. So, theories about economic inequality are just that, theories. They do, however, tend to be vigorously promoted as fact by those susceptible to their arguments.

>>1307144
"I'm a Britbong" says that you're prejudiced against France, and your opinion is so biased I won't discuss it.

However, I'd be curious to know what you call "classy" (more so than Paris and Monaco) and isn't coincidentally located on British clay.

>>1305336
Traveling is a hobby like any other. Just because it's time consuming and expensive to travel doesn't mean everyone with money and time should do it.

I travel for work several times a year. The hassle of travel (flying in particular) sucks. When I'm retired travel will not be on the agenda for me. I can think of better ways to spend my time than flying 12 hours (and waiting in an airport for 2-6+) to sleep in a random bed and ogle some bullshit while I get stated at by locals. Have you ever been to China? I have and it sucks. China is stuffy, crowded, dirty, and even the air sucks ass. People suggesting you have to go everywhere for
>muh cultural enlightenment
are stupid.

Give me a couple acres, a pole barn, a 2-post lift, and time, and that's how I'll get my enjoyment as a retiree. My passions all involve doing things, not looking at all the things other people have done, and travel is firmly in the latter of those two categories.

LOL, you're being prejudiced - by pre-judging my opinion.
I don't have any prejudice - I've been to France several times - have you?
Paris and Monaco are crumbling and tacky in many places.
5 euros for a coffee in central Paris is not unusual and makes Starbucks look like good value.
They also don't charge you more for taking a seat.

Classy? Okay, I'll pick some parts of France and French territories, to show I'm not prejudiced -

Alsace
Cap D'Antibe
Most of Brittany
Nice
St. Barts
French West Indies
Martinique

Why can't I pick places in the UK?
Seems you are prejudiced.
Define 'British clay', do you mean the British Isles?
What about British territories?
Or the commonwealth?

>>1307661
Who says you have to fly?
I love travelling, but hate flying.
I love cruise ships and trains though.
I 'do things' - I'm a writer, sometimes my writing involves travel writing, or adds to it.
I also have an import-export business, why do the two have to be separate?

>>1308188
>I love cruise ships and trains though.
Is that really any less stressful than flying? Trains take several times as long and probably are also crowded.

I really want to travel and see some different things but I hate the stress of going from A to B. And I also hate people.

>>1308264
Again, you sound like you haven't travelled at all.
Yes, travelling by ship is far less stressful.
I can visit several countries with the same room sitting in port, basically a floating hotel.
Trains crowded?
So book a room on a train.
I'm not talking about economy class.

I can't do much about you hating people,
Except maybe try philosophy, perhaps stoicism or some light reading on Buddhism.

I don't hate people so much as feel they are mostly disappointing...I guess I'm a recovering misanthrope with sociopathic tendencies.

>>1308264
Also, 'trains take several times as long'
Are you in a rush?
Because we're all heading for the same place either way - six feet under.

Well, no, I haven't travelled much at all. Apart from one flight across europe like 10 years ago and a few trains within britbong. Yes I am curious but it seems pretty intimidating in general having barely left the place I grew up in.

>I'm not talking about economy class.
Oh, well that would be nice, but I'm not rich. Maybe I'm in the wrong thread but I was interested in the travel aspect. I work online and have been considering the possibility of hopping around europe staying a few weeks in different places, cheap-ish airbnb apartments or something.

Hate is perhaps too strong a word, I just don't like busy places or waiting around in them. e.g. like most airports, and I can't imagine enjoying being stuck on a ship either. Maybe I will do some research on cruise travel though.

Well, Bunny tells him she'll suck his cock for a thousand dollars, and he says he needs to find a cash machine, which means, he's got circa $1000 in the bank, considering he probably doesn't carry cash often as we see him buy milk with a check. Not bad if you ask me.

>>1304003
you need to understand how they see things. They don't do it because they like seeing x amount of cash deposited into their accounts. Its about the definition of power. You may think im talking about power over others and for some that is what it is, but for the 1% and certain other groups its about seeing personal wills become physical manifestations. They see an empty field and imagine a factory producing a product and trucks coming and going, employees coming and going. They imagine it becoming bigger and more efficient. For them THAT is power.

Theirs a cool passage in the fountainhead about this.

Roark got up, reached out, tore a thick branch off a tree, held it in both hands, one fist closed at each end; then, his wrists and knuckles tensed against the resistance, he bent the branch slowly into an arc. "Now I can make what I want of it: a bow, a spear, a cane, a railing. That's the meaning of life."

"Your strength?"

"Your work." He tossed the branch aside. "The material the earth offers you and what you make of it . . . ”

Cruise ships are ok (if you don't get seasick).

I like driving, but not on road trips.

That only leaves trains, which I have no particular problem with except the cabins are somewhat confined, and they're pretty slow (at least here in North America).

So I travel occasionally, mainly by plane (because even though it sucks, it's the most efficient method available to me that doesn't include me buying my own plane & learning to fly it).

I still think traveling for the sake of "seeing sights" is self-aggrandizing, tedious and for the most part boring. It's just my opinion. That, and my hobbies typically aren't something that I can do while I travel. I can read, and I can think, but most of my "do" happens while I'm at home.

I've made most of my money by writing professionally, so writing in my free time doesn't really appeal to me.

>>1308337
>are you in a rush?

Well, yes. If the goal is to travel to see something or do something, I'd rather not take 2-3 days to get there & back, because that time could be spent at home, doing things I prefer to riding a train. It's not so much about whether I'm in a "rush", so much as 1) trains aren't that enjoyable, and 2) I can think of better things to do with my time than sit on a train.

i love travelling but it gets to be too much for me. If i was going to travel i would do a bunch of shit for a few days and then hide in a hotel for a few, then head back out again.

>>1309930
Not even completely sure why I want to travel, except I'm pretty damn fed up with where I am right now and wonder if there might be better places.

Wish I could teleport t b h

>>1309966
Teleporting would be awesome.

If it were reliable and safe, I'd totally teleport.

Unfortunately, reliable, safe teleportation technology is borderline physically impossible.

I recently expanded my business and hired 4 people. One guy turned up in a full suit on day 1, I made him go home and change. If someone needs a suit to be confident and effective then I hired the wrong person.

>>1310308
wtf this is retarded. you are probably a bad boss let people wear what they want if he feels comfortable in a suit let him wear a suit. Would you send home someone who showed up in a bathrobe? or do you just draw the line on someone dressing better than you? really idiotic logic from you I would have laughed in your face and quit on the spot

>>1307112
fun fact
most rich people have relatively little in savings and almost none in cash. most of their wealth (net worth as it were) is in their assets which yes includes real estate, gold, stocks, industry, etc.
Only the middle class invests in banks and shit cause it's 'safe'

>>1304149

>>1310342
>I would have laughed in your face and quit on the spot
except you wouldn't have.

but i agree, attire shouldn't be about this or that, but choice. get rid of the dress code, but if they wanna wear suits, why not?

You could even live a slightly weaker Bilzerian life with that money, since Bilzerian is worth $100 million, not billions or anything.

Traveling isn't all that it's made up to be, ofc you love your 2 weeks vacations after a year of wageslaving.

I've been to multiple Continents and country the last few years and now I'm just planning on improving my Japanese and moving there in a few years for good, tired of traveling for now.

If he was so smart, he'd realize that $40 million can yield $800,000/year in income off of "risk-free" (US Treasuries) or near risk-free investments.

Oh, what with that $800,000/year, he could do whatever the fuck and not touch the principal. Now, most likely it's being invested but he's just hoarding money.

Which really is just sad. At some point it's just a digital printout and it becomes a pointless obsession. No realer than Runescape gold until someone sensible inherits the hoard of cash and blows it on cars, whores and drugs.

>>1304149
M8, that isn't even particularly well off.
I probably never going to earn more than £50,000 a year and I am easily going to do that by 30.

People are stupid about how much they think travel has to cost, you can get round trip flights from London - Rekjavic - Toronto - New York and then back to London for £350.

Most people I know spend that on a shitty return trip from London to some shit hole in Spain where they some how manage to spend over a grand in a week just by drinking.

Some people don't give a fuck about your fucking blog about Thailand and how the people there "have so little yet are so happy". I don't give a single fuck. When I'm rich I want to buy a huge mansion, a chauffeured S-class and a yacht. I wouldn't go anywhere.

Get over yourself, not everyone wants to sleep in some random bed every night just so he can listen to the stories of "Ooga Booga The Village Wise Guy" in Bumfuckistan nowhere.

if you live in the woods, or perhaps in the suburbs you are most likely denied

mountains, snow, beaches, rivers, fine dining, monuments, wildlife, bird watching, safari tours, etc etc

travelling lets you do that

Whats wrong with that? Should he waste money on purpose on expensive stuff just to melt his savings?

Maybe he plans on having kids and giving it to them one day

This looks smart at first glance, but to spend a million dollars however you want, you basically have to be a millionaire.

It's a non-sentence.

They do. My gf is from old southern money (slavery money) and they live it up for sure. Where do you retards get the idea that rich folks don't enjoy their money? You realize their are resorts and vacation spots specifically for the wealthy right?

There really isn't a difference between socialite and neets. Every socialite I've known has been a neet who usually had successful siblings.

4chan neets are just doom and gloom and refuse to socialize. Shit, bring neet should be when you socialize since you have nothing but free time.

Traveling is a meme. 90% of this world is boring and dangerous, while the other 10% overcrowded. The feels you get are mostly from novelty, brake of routine and vacation Mode.

>People say they want to be millionaires but they really don't. They just want to spend a million dollars.

No.
What they want is the LIFESTYLE of a millionaire.
The point of 'The 4-hour Work Week' and Tue philosophy of Lifestyle Design, which I subscribe to, is that most people don't want to look at a bank statement with six zeros on it.
There's no utility for a random number,
And $1M is a random number, as is $14.32 or $20M.
There is no way someone with $20M feels 20 x happier than someone who has $1M.
So, to what end is the gaining of money?

When several corporate types on their way to bagging a $1M+ pension or endgame were interviewed about their plans once they hit that magic number, the answers were confusing.

'I'll drive across route 66 on a Harley, just seeing the country and staying in motels'

'I'll travel Asia, do some sailing there, a little tour, then maybe a beach house'

'I would do watersports, maybe open a surf school, rent out jetskis, etc'

Etc, etc

The crux of the point was -
A) Most people trying to 'make it' don't have much of a defined plan of what to do once they make it.
They are just spinning their wheels for a paradise somewhere at some undefined point.
B) of those who do have a plan, most have never done the math for those plans, or worked out costs, and whether they would be just as happy in a $20 p/wk beach hut as in a $500 p/wk hotel.
C) all those plans/dreams do not require a million dollars, or anything close to that, there are bums doing the above who fish for their supper.
D) most things can be rented or hired, and Cashflow or profits can be used to acquire the lifestyle. Why buy a Bentley if you've never even sat in one? Rent it first.
E) Time, mobility, freedom should come first, then money can follow.

You dont have to be rich for this to happen to you. Finding something to fullfill your life is not easy when you are rich and have lots of distractions at the reach of you hand.

Hell, I don't even have 5k in my bank account and I am in the same situation (I do work though).

>>1303901
you dont work hard and become rich to stuff hamburgers into your face, you do it for glory of hard work and to build something, money is just the offput of it, mostly only use for money is to invest in more business and growth which gives more responsibilities
