/biz/ - Business & Finance

So what's the problem? I suspect these are the issues-

1) Although I have substantial resources and am better off than most people my age, most of my friends have achieved career success (doctors, lawyers, work at GS, etc). I know the grass is always greener, and that their lives kind of fucking suck and that my life has been awesome... but I kind of want that prestige to be honest. I sort of want that social status because I think it was bred into me to want that. I'm in the process of starting up a business that is already profitable, and I suspect I will earn much more than any of my friends in my lifetime, but there's some so alluring about working for a big company or hospital... if someone could clarify why I feel like such a bootlicking faggot that would be great

2) Too much free time. I'm really getting to the point where I don't know what to do anymore. I've travelled, read, explored, picked up hobbies like hunting and guitar/piano, and gotten good at those things.... but there's only really so much you can do when your entire day isn't consumed by work. Even my small business doesn't require more than 4-5 hours a day AT MOST. I know you people will call be a retard for not being able to completely fill my time, but after 5 years of not having a job, I need more than free time.

3) No family. I've spent the past 5 years being a degenerate coomer. Literally traveling and fucking tinder girls and also escorts. It's been amazing, but I think oxytocin numbness that women get when they sleep around too much also applies to men. I literally cannot. feel love for a woman anymore, just the desire to coom. Perhaps this is a natural byproduct of getting older as well as having experienced a good amount of life... but I just have no urge to settle down, yet I desperately crave more meaning in my life.

w-waht do?

Fuck you op. I struggle just to feed myself and my family go to hell

Dude, I needed this post because I am currently doing my PhD but also making bank from crypto, I always wanted to be a scientist but I've been so torn, do I quit and regret it in 10/20 years, or do I just do both and work harder, I think I will do both and work harder. I would love to take my friends or my little brother around the world, but I need goals, I need to be able to achieve things, and fucking some whore or seeing the great wall of China aren't achievements

Find a decent woman, buy some land and get kids.
Love is a meme anyway, you most likely won't have any feelings for your wife after 10 years together anyway - so who gives a shit if you have fee fees for a few years or not. Just look for a girl that isn't retarded, fucks and blows you anytime you want and that you don't want to kill when she talks about random bullshit all day again

Same situation, finishing up my PhD but pretty rich from crypto already. Probably going to work for a few years at least until I have a paid off house and then hopefully live off investment income and/or start a business. I should be applying to jobs now, but it's hard to get motivated for that when I can make more by paying attention to the market.

>>26282210
Because they are rich parent brat weaklings who instead of literally just minimally working out to strenghten their back they prefer to remain glass boned weaklings who have trouble carrying some """load""" in the shape of big tits, so they just go chop them off not realsing that by surgically altering their body they fuck up their entire body proportion, where now they all look fridge mode with an extremely wide waist that used to look a lot smaller and perfect with their natural breasts in place, which is why now they all look worse no matter naked or in clothes, and they know it. They all immediately turn from an 8/10 to a 5/10, when all they needed to do is just to start lifting.

Quite sad really.

If I have kids, that will just extend how long I have to wageslave. I have a decent career and a loyal, loving gf but I just want the freedom to not have to do anything or be obligated to anyone. The grass really is always greener.

>>26283633
He’s already got the money, all he needs to do is knock a girl up. All you need to do is get rich enough to snowball that money. Problems solved, it’s not either or.

All those larpers itt. I can't believe it.

you lack some kind of load to bear, a responsibility, like that of raising a child, teaching/guiding others, taking an ambitious personal project that excites you from planning to fruition.
basically, follow the thing that gets you excited about life. if you feel nothing does, turn off the electrics in your house for three days or until your reward circuit has recovered from constant, small stimulants, or go for a long walk to somewhere remote you can rest/camp in for at least a night.
another quick fix is to do something for others, work in a soup kitchen for a shift, do volunteer work, do something entirely selfless
Good luck

>>26282210
every time i see this i die a little

The problem is you're still alone and no one cares about you, despite your money. Sad! Many such cases!

It's over for you. You have money, but you will never form any meaningful relation with a real women, you will never have children. And in 10 years time you'll be sitting in a sauna in thailand with a gun in your mouth. Should've stayed poor, and built a family. Sorry op.

Real talk though - you have to find some meaning. What do you WANT to do? Like do you want to help people? Do you want to save animals? Like whatever the fuck you want to do you have to figurer it out and do it.

And 'not working' is a fucking gay ass thing to want to do. Be a man

Pre surgery, beautiful and breasts were proportional to her body.

OP, it's pretty simple : you're depressed. You were looking for something, chased it, all over the world, couldn't find it. You'll have to look in the one place you haven't yet : inside yourself.

i think i'll have the best of both worlds. i'm married but my wife gives me the hall pass. i'm not rich yet but i'm getting there on this bullrun. my life feels meaningless some days but the little things keep me going. i may not amount to much by the end but i raise my children the best i can and hope one of my descendents becomes something great.

there are no free lunches with happiness.

really dumb fucking humble-brag thread. Anyone posting serious replies to this bait needs to be taken out back and shot.

Not saying it's not true; who knows. But even if we accept the OP as factual, feeling pity or concern for this type of schizo narcissist is retarded, pointless, and a waste of everybody's time. People (schizos/sociopaths) like this are better left to rot and you're an absolute fucking sucker if you engage with them in any sincere way.

>>26285460
>drugs are better than meditation practice
no

>>26285633
he probably is a narcissist but its also believable that using your money to have fun would eventually feel empty and meaningless. Lots of wealthy and successful people commit suicide, join cults, get depressed and addicted to prescription drugs, have embarrassing and seemingly inexplicable relationship collapses or mental breakdowns, you name it. the human capacity to become bored with what it has is literally limitless, in Buddhism it is known that you can expand your mind through mental training to abide in cosmic bliss states unimaginable to ordinary people and even THOSE states of mind become boring with enough familiarity.

OP, none of us can tell you what will give your existence meaning and value. As you've discovered, money ain't enough in life. You need a purpose outside of just getting rich. And you need social validation too.

It's everybody's task to define what's meaningful in life for them. It sounds like you want to do something useful for other people, if you're jealous of doctors. So go do something useful. You don't have to go to medical school (though you can if you want to, you're still plenty young enough). Find a nonprofit you like and offer them a cash donation in exchange for them putting you on their board of directors. This will give you real influence over the directions and operations of a worthwhile organization. That's what rich people with money and social consciences do to feel like they're not just randomly lucky parasites.

A good way to not do any of that is to get sucked into their sociopathic void, where nothing exists or matters except their own empty life.

Suckers always get charmed by schizophrenics and sociopathic narcissists for reasons like what you just posted. It's a blackhole.

>>26281570
Kek at #3. I'd probably do the same thing.

>>26286887
Yes, there is value in that I think.

When you have money, girls can sense it. I would go on tinder and invite cute girls to dates at nice restaurants that I also wanted to go to myself. Rarely did I not fuck them that night. I learned that if you're relatively handsome and tall, not a psycho weirdo, and seem like you have money at a young-ish age, girls will just fuck you. It's amazing. Girls in Spain are whores, same with any eastern European country. Didn't really fuck around much in South America because I'm not that into hispanics. Girls are easy in Tokyo. Surprisingly I found girls in S. Korea and Taiwan the hardest to coom in.

>>26287566

Life is not perfect. Everyone goes through shit in life. You will be okay. This too will passed and your existentail crisis will be over somewhere in the future. Always remember to love yourself first.

I'm rooting for you and wish you all the best.

>>26281570
>Although I have substantial resources and am better off than most people my age, most of my friends have achieved career success (doctors, lawyers, work at GS, etc).

Ironically most of your friends hate their jobs and wife (unless they're a turbo faggot normie) and they want to retire or own their biz.

Just idk. Live your life. You aren’t special and nothing matters. In reality very few people care about you. There is a certain pleasure to just learning to live a mundane ass life. Exist. Eat well, exercise, and sleep if you want to exist a little longer. If you don’t want to live longer just stop living. It’s really not very complicated. The sooner you realize this they happier you will be.

>>26288225
yep. I work at a cool megacorp fintech and have a 'good' job/title. I hate it and constantly dream of an escape.

thing is, I do understand OP too. I understand the pressure/desire for career-based status. Not sure what to suggest though.

>>26281570
Find a therapist that can recommend you books to read to better understand why you don't feel satisfied in life despite financial success.

Based

>>26288588
status does mean something you retarded fag, just because you've never had any yourself and don't understand what it feels like to be anything other than an omega level outcast doesn't mean the desire isn't real.

I'm asking for answers, not to have my questions be invalidated by turbo faggots

>>26288947
lol ok you shallow faggot. look at all your projection retard, it means nothing. the love of your friends and family is what matters. i bet you feel like that omega loser outcast. I work in fintech and I’m not crazy successful doctor or lawyer but I’m doing great.

You have no idea what matters in this life because you are a retarded loser. Yes you, you are a fucking lost loser. Get over yourself faggot

>>26289292
What can you expect from someone having an existential crisis over not having any meaningful relationships and stressing over the ‘status’ his friends have in comparison to himself, despite being richer? You are spiritually lost and broken. How did you even get to this point? You solved the money part, solve the other parts as to why you feel empty. My guess is you are not LOVED GENUINELY by your family, friends, a wife, or children.

>>26289292
Ok I'll try to slow it down for you since you seem like a mentally ill and angry retard.

Yes, being loved by family and friends is important. However, to obtain this, you must also have status.

People/friends you actually WANT to hang out around care about status. Women who you actually want to love you REALLY FUCKING CARE about status. Women are literally biologically programmed to seek status, it's basically impossible for a beautiful woman to love you unless you have status.

Now, status can come in many forms. It can be as swallow as looks (even for a man), or usually it comes from money because money is a symbol of success in a capitalistic society. It can come from being a great artist, and very funny person, etc.

My issue was not that I wanted "love", as that issue is covered in a later point, it is that I myself desire status in a capitalistic system even though I know it's gay and retarded, because I was born into that system and it's ingrained into my mind.

I was not asking for "love is the ultimate answer" you fucking faggot, I was asking for an answer to resolving my deeply ingrained need for SUPERFICIAL social status, which is NOT the same as the kind of status that is required as a prerequisite for love.

>>26281570

All these folks roasting you are very right. You're materialistic as fuck and you likely fucked up somewhere socially too. (do you have a lot of real friends? any bois? women you like hang out with?)
You don't always get the best dice roll with families but if you got any you can reconnect with that shit fills more voids than you'd think.
Status is only really as good as the peers hyping you for it, even if you start a company or become a great artist its not gonna matter if ur peers aren't anyone you give a shit about, so imo thats not worth the focus you're giving it. But if thats not an issue for you, what do you think actually gives someone the status you want?

OP, although I am not as lucky as you are. I was born into a high class family in a third world country (Mexico) and I'm blessed to have been born a US citizen. I'm 30 now and have a wonderful wife and an even better wonderful kid.

Life has been easy for me most of the time - I went to a prestigious school in Mexico and then went abroad to the US to finish my degree. I am the heir to a major construction company and started my own business on the USA. I gamble my money on crypto and stocks and have made yuuge profits, enough to buy myself a rental property in the US as well.

Status is something that is achievable in many, many ways, not just wageslaving your life to prestigious companies.

1)You could start a successful company and provide many jobs to others (something that I do and take pride of)

2)You could build a real estate empire, which in on itself would be an impressive feat, and thus, worthy of recognition.

3)You could become a self made multi-millionare with stonks and crypto, and attain status as a technowizard who is smart enough to 'make it' while most people only wish they were as smart as you are.

By the looks of it, you already have done most of what most people only dream to do (financial freedom, knowledge, cultural education) at a relatively young age.

You seem to think that what you have attained so far has come relatively easy and as such, is less important than being regarded as an 'honorable' doctor. That is not true, and you should appreciate the fact that you have already made it.

I suppose what I'm trying to say is, what do YOU want to be recognized by? And by whom? By you, or by others?

>>26281570
Consider this a letter from your past self. I am you but ~a decade younger and aim to be in your position when I'm your age. Don't you still want to find a wife? It's never too late. You are still very young OP, have a family. You lack purpose, family will bring that. Kids are an investment in your future who will give you something to live for. The economic impact of having kids will be minimal for you if you really do have cash like you say you do. Believe me, I know where you are mentally. You may feel misunderstood, just know that you are loved even if people do not understand you. Everyone is in their own head. Me, you, linus sex tips... We are all always thinking about shit that gets us all fucked in the head. You are overcomplicating this process.

Went on so many great dates, but I always only want the hottest one or bust. After I fucked em a few times, I am sick of them, looking for the next one.

I built hand powered wheelchairs for landmine victims. Did they end up in the right hands? Maybe maybe not, but it feels good performing actual useful work.
One of the best parts is that you have no real attachment to these places and you can move around freely. You can also make friends but make sure not to disclose that you have money and it is the best way to keep relationships pure.

Try psychodelics mushrooms which may help to rewire your brain from all the degen stuff you have done. Can't guarantee it will help though. It may amplify all negative feelings you have now or give you an insight on all your issues, it's all in your head in the end. You still have the ability to feel love for opposite sex, it's just papered over by your degen experience.

Would be hard for any of us to say what that is. Just start spending some time thinking about what you want. Something maybe that angers you that you’d like to change.

once done, just work part time and try to specialise in a niche. making beautiful cabinets, or helping the elderly etc. Hire your own young apprentice and be a strong role model

you'll make it

You are fulfilled materially, but not as a person.

Start by building a routine. Wake up at the same time every day, go to sleep at the same time every day. Try to eat at the same time every day too.

As you get a costumed to these things, try adding some small things in incremental steps: maybe go to walk a bit daily. Eventually you can go to the gym if you desire so.

Start a hobby. Something you like and you're good at. Once you start feeling more confident and good about your skills, you can then think about your career and personal success.

But you gotta start with yourself. You have to first fulfill yourself as a person and then look for external sources. You're still young, there's still time.

Neger I am sort of on the other side.
I live in the Europe so naturally, being an europpor, my financial situation is quite worse than yours but I can't complain AT ALL. I have six figs in Link, six figs in stocks make a decent living as a doctor and careerwise, everyone wants me to be in managerial position (and I know I can even get higher than local level) once I finish my residency.

I have a beautifil gf that is doctor as well and she wants to have kids with me.

I spend my 20s (now 29) struggling with med school and tirinf my ass off at work, even tho I can;t really complain and working like this comes quite naturaly to me and I love the job, usually, covid is taking its toll tho.

Everything sounds sweet and great and probably every 4chan autist would love to be in my shoes to have a caring gf that wants to marry him and breed white kids etc.
You know what I want?
I want to fucking leave this stupid continent, leave my gf, leave all the dumbfucks at my hospital dumfounded and start new life somewhere else. If it weren't for the need of going through USMLE, I would def. wanted to come to USA.
My sex life is boring af, my gf doesn't iniciate anything, doesn't want to blow me and if she does I feel guilty about making her and it isn't good and relaxing at all, we barely communicate together and if we do its banal shit like organizing groceries, etc. I have a family that I am sporadically visiting now and it always feel like a chore and the communication there is getting more artificial, as is covid taking its toll on them as well as me. I honestly believes that once this covid shit is over, I am leaving everything behind and moving countries.

Grass is always greener etc...
sleep around,

>but I kind of want that prestige to be honest. I sort of want that social status because I think it was bred into me to want that.
I feel you there you are not alone. I am currently enrolled in a very shitty PhD, low pay, many years. I desperately want out, but I want the status and to be able to sign as Dr. Anon. I have enough many to sit around for 1-2 years looking for other opportunities, but I until I get accepted elsewhere I am not quitting because I don't want people to see me as a drop-out.
I would probably make much more in industry, too. Life is misery

>>26297339
no worries
i don't think theres a good way for a men to live life now and I suspect that even tho 'le hedonism' pill is cope, the 'le tradpill white gf and breed kids lmao it will give you meaning' is some kind of reactionary fantasy glorifying some kind of collective nostalgia feeling we believe that we lost and is cope as well

I don't know what to do but I believe that we as retards that visit 4chan will never be as spontaneously happy as normans with either choice. (and its not because some magical difference between us and normans just the fact that autists here tends to overcomplicate and overanalyze every fucking choice they make)
