why do you make money if not to create a better life for yourself?

>>462225

>>462265
How is this picture inspiring?

>>462225

>Pleb-Tier Arriviste Bullshit General

the pic that changed my life

>tfw u will never be a rich nigga

I want to be this man.

I think on larry ellison's wiki it says his wife divorced him when he was 30-something because she thought he was a loser or something like that.

Also read Lenin's wiki page. Or Putin's. Basically they fucked about / did boring shit, and then they kicked ass later on in life.

>>462225
How did you get into my house? Why did you take pics of my girlfriend?

You don't become a millionaire by spending a million dollars, you become one by saving a million dollars.

>>462337
can't unsee

Oh shut up. You guys are the type of people to "save" your whole lives and die as a miserable faggot, just like you lived. Now, I understand that happiness won't come from buying things alone, and yeah that cocaine picture is horribly contrived, but that doesn't mean you have to live some type of ascetic lifestyle.

>>462325

money that isn't spent is worthless

>>462367
>what is the future

pic: six figures in savings but my only luxury purchase. read work docs every night in it.

>>462360

>either live like an ascetic monk or a stupid Wolf of Wallstreet Jew

oh those are the only ways to live now?

>>462376
According to you guys, yes.

>>462360
you do understand that most wealthy people are too busy to bother "enjoying" fancy cars and nice houses anyway, right? it's a colossal waste of money when you're working 15+ hours a day to keep your business going.

it's not about being a monk or going for the high score, it's just not worth dropping a few mill on a mansion when all you're going to do is come home and go to bed (or sleep under your desk at the office)

>>462378

you're the one who suggested it.

>>462265
>can't afford better rum than Bacardi lemon

>>462380
Do you honestly believe anything in OPs pic costs a mil?

I've worked for plenty of bigwigs (fancy lighting displays, pretty fun) and even if they're not home often, they still like to have a comfy place to come back to.

This one guys owns a manufacturing plant in NY and has Miami condo for winter.

I think I lost track of my message. But yeah, there's a middle ground.

>>462394

the Aventador itself is over $400k

that large condo with a pool in any major city will cost you over 3 mill, easy.

a ton of wasted money for such shitty things

>>462374
>in it

Being rich is generally about hoarding money. I.e you won't enjoy it and you'll sacrifice your friends/family working 12hours a day.

OK OP, I'll post what inspires me.

>>462380
>all you're going to do is come home and go to bed (or sleep under your desk at the office)

If you're "rich" (whatever that means), and you're still living like that, you need to sort your life out.

>>462410
>a ton of wasted money for such shitty things

Agreed. I'm personally happy with my Volvo XC70. More comfortable, more capable on 95% of the road network, sure even the T6 is WAY slower than an Aventador, but where I live they impound your car and take away your license if you are going 50 km/h above the speed limit, so a Lamborghini is kind of pointless.

Nope, for me inspiration consists entirely of a comfortable home, annual vacations to wherever I want and plenty of wine, all day erry day. Make more money? Take more expensive vacations and buy more expensive wine to drink.

>>462438
Agreed.

>>462454
>I'd rather buy some glorified juice than a nice car.

Also, I'm not advocating frivolous spending. Keeping up with the Joneses never ends well. I'm just saying it's OK to enjoy your life, especially if you have money.

>>462356
Eh... I like the wardrobe, the pool and the girl. 3/6 is alright.

>>462388

And this my friend is the real reason the poor stay poor. The poor man works for his money then spends it, the rich man saves his money so that it can work for him.

That balcony seems like an easy way to die while drunk.

Sadly, money can't buy everything.

>>462694
Why would you want to buy a pile of corpses, anyway, Anon?
I mean what'd you do with them?

>>462704
Deny their existence.

>>462706
You would buy something and then deny it exists?
I think that only works with love and such.

>>462225
If you're not born rich there's no way you're gonna make it.
The only possible way is by selling your startup for huge amount of money. But first you need good idea and ability to do that.

If you have six figure job, like investment banker, it will take years to get enough money for all that.

And what's the point of being truly rich in your fifties? You'll be burnt out by then.

>feels

This is inspiration

>>462225
I wouldnt feel comfortable owning that much shit

If I were rich, I would only buy the necessary things, but in top-tier quality.

>>462723
> necessary thing: car
> in top-tier quality: lambourgini

> necessary thing: flat
> in top-tier quality: flat with pool

>>462225
i would be fine with just the bottom left pic.
totally fine...

>>462729

I don't think that's even possible - doesnt bitcoin cap at 21 million coins?

I will buy her

>>462609
you'd have to work a thousand years to become a millionaire. life doesn't afford you opportunities to save much. even if you worked hard for 20 years and saved diligently, almost always, life throws something at you and your money's spent. to make that money you'd have to have some kind of edge or gimmick that'll afford you the necessary means to become a millionaire. Otherwise you'll be a beggar.

>>462772
>you'd have to work a thousand years to become a millionaire

You are not a millionaire because you can't even count.

It takes only 19 years to become a millionaire if you save up $1,500 each month and invest at 10%.

Start now and you'll be a millionaire before age 40-45.

>>462807
Looks cozy as fuck. Reminds me of the big houses/McMansions around New Jersey.

I love pictures like this, because I'm aesthetically attracted to luxury, but ultimately it doesn't feel very relevant. It's not that money can't buy happiness, all else being equal I'd definitely be happier if I lived in a better apartment, could afford to travel a lot, and consume whatever I wanted. But I don't see how anyone can be driven by that. It's nice, but it's not motivational, it doesn't make me feel any emotion strong enough to make me want to get off my ass and work harder. A carrot, no matter how tasty, is still just a carrot. And when you consider hedonic adaption, even seemingly permanent luxuries, like a fancy apartment, are comparable to the impermanent carrot.

>>462816
That's an example. But putting all your money into a single fund is bad.

>>462839

I was born into a rich family and for some reason my only goals in life are just to make enough income to live modestly and independently, while all my friends born in poor neighborhoods have dreams of becoming extremely rich and having an abundance of hot women. I have no drive as I've already experienced it.

I'm not obtaining wealth so I can afford to constantly pleasure myself.

We need to advance cellular biochemistry and nanotechnology to the point where we can develop new superior forms of life that can replace human civilization.

What exactly is so fedora about my post? My way of thinking or my style of writing?

While I can't help sounding like I have assburgers sometimes, I wouldn't mind hearing about any flaws in my view.

>>463107
People get intimidated by some posts and then post fedoras to make themselves feel better.

>>462860
That's why it's important for letting your children feel scarcity. There's no bigger motivation to achieve something than having felt extreme desire met by refusal in childhood.

If I ever make it, I'll make sure my sons will never have all the shiny stuff they want.

>>463144
You'd have to be a complete fucking moron to want to drive to 'central London'.

>>463156
Well you wouldn't be driving, your chauffeur would be.

>>463176
Chauffeurs are for driving you to work and between work places so you can prepare yourself, not for taking you everywhere because you're too fucking stupid to drive a car.

Chauffeurs aren't luxury items, they're tools, like mobile phones and filofaxes. Having someone drive you everywhere out of laziness is Dubai-tier behaviour.

I want to have a lot of money so I can have sex any time I want.

The only life worth living is to be born into wealth.

If you aren't rich, don't bother trying to become rich. You don't wanna work your whole life while having the money to do anything.

>>462374
>>462507
only pics that barely inspires me.

really OP you gotta try harder. if anything you are inspiring me to give up any study/profession and live as a druid on top of the mountain.

>>463206
thanks but i am worth living even when not rich.
plenty of people who don't regret being born even without having a million under their ass.

no need to be edgy.

>>463183
I never thought about it that way.

Although that is the main criticism I have of these threads. Luxury items are just tat which depricates fast (depending on what you buy).
A property however, in the right area, can be a good investment. Just look at the house price rise in central london since 2008.

>The revenue of an individual may be spent, either in things which are consumed immediately, and in which one day's expense can neither alleviate nor support that of another; or it may be spent in things mere durable, which can therefore be accumulated, and in which every day's expense may, as he chooses, either alleviate, or support and heighten, the effect of that of the following day.

>>463107
I don't think there was anything wrong with your post. Though maybe you fleshed out a relatively simple concept too much.

>hedonic adaption
>euphoric fedoranation

>>463107
I liked your post. But on 4chan people only respond when you say something controversial or edgy. Not really a good place for intellectual conversation, (with the occasional exception though of course...which is why we all come here)

>>463301
Hedonic adaptation is a pretty nice phrase, though. Most of us know that feeling when we spend a lot of money on something, like a cool car, a bigger TV or some shit like that, and feel really stoked about it, just gloating in the pure joy of owning something nice. Only to realize a few weeks later that you're used to owning that awesome thing and you just take it for granted. Hedonic adaptation just describes that exact phenomena. I think "hedonic treadmill" is more commonly used, but I like adaptation since it's more literal than metaphorical.

>>463210
Dude it's just an op pic. Calm down. If you know what you want to be inspired to do than there are plenty of places to find what you're looking on you're own.

No homo. But reminds of the fact that I will need surplus funds if I want to work on pet projects.

So what are you cunning plans to achieve god mode lifestyle outside the only realistic one? (HAVING LUCK)

>>463467
I don't believe money can buy women or game. But I do believe you need to be in certain places to increase chances of meeting certain types of women. I also don't want to be known as the cool but poor guy.

>>463125
My dad did exactly that, im a 25 year old with HS diploma only, tired of even getting out of my bed.

Had i born inside the Jenner life, and I would be perfectly healthy soaking sun on my private yatch in the middle of the blue sea.

Fuck being born poor, just to be a wageslave or die poor.

>>463472
Always wanted one. At this point I realize amassing experiences are better than amassing items. So I would just lease it for some months so I can know what it's like having a car I thought was really cool.

>>463479
The first goal I had when I decided I didn't like being poor anymore was to be able to afford to eat sushi everyday. This eventually spilled over into being able to eat awesome food and from amazing places everyday.

Every single picture sucks. The indoors look depressing as fuck, grey walls like an insane asylum. The patio one wouldn't be so bad, because there is a nice view, but there is outdoor furniture just a giant empty deck.

money cant buy women but it will make them like you more.

Alright guys you need to get your fucking acts together, here is my plan that is going to make me a fucking millionaire!

>Going to University to do what i need to do to get the job i want!
>Once out, Straight into a £400 per day job, possibly going up to £600. Sit on your ass all day job too!
>That's basically £8000 a month,
>Invest £6000 a month for 10 years at a 10% interest rate
>Be 33, have £1,224,308 in the bank
>Could wait until im 40, then ill have £3,105,367
>Retire, buy a mansion at maybe £600,000, a few sports cars at £400,000
>Settle down, raise children to be little Bill Gates and Richard Bransons

>I come from a working class family who finds it difficult to even give me lunch money for the day
>My parents will live with me, they will NEVER worry about money again
>Just raised myself out of poverty

>Realise that i still had £2000 to live on a month, im not living like a Jew, no way!

>>463661
Okay sport. Good luck with that.

>>463661
IT contracting???

I was getting paid £450 a day contracting for HSBC. But you do know there is little job security, although I know people in the industry who have contracted in the same place and role for 5+ years, it's doable. The reason you get paid so much is the perceived lack of job security. But make yourself an integral part of the running of the business and for them it's easier to just keep renewing your contract than to get some new guy in.

I actually quit after two years cuz it was soul destroying (and health) for me. I learned very fast that I can't really hack 9-5 office jobs, I literally felt like shit the whole time and it just got worse and worse.

Now I'm a jobless NEET... ;_;

I have a healthy CV/Resume but I can't bring myself to go back in IT contracting, it was so painful.

>>463669

Sucks too that its not even that difficult, and the job market for my sector will be booming once i come out of uni,

>Forgot to say, once i'm 40 i will withdraw 2 million for me to spend on whatever, with 1 million left invested ill be making a nice £400,000 a year doing nothing, i think becoming a millionaire is too easy, maybe im wrong

Pic is my perfect place, i don't want it too bigh though!

>>463682
>i think becoming a millionaire is too easy
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

>>463676

Basically computer programming on a contract basis lasting 6-12 months, plan to do some freelance stuff too during uni to support myself while there and for job experience, i figure once i go straight out i can say im semi experienced having done hundreds of projects on freelancer, would just make me a cut above the rest i think.

Dude you should get back to work, work 10 years of hell and live on 150,000 for the rest of your life. Go see a doctor if your jobs affecting your health, im sure he can help you. Just go back out there, its basically sitting on a plate for you to go get, make sure your children are not as poor as you where!

Pic is the type of car i want to drive my kids to school in.

You know what's up. Learn to build really awesome friend circle now. You don't need money for that and you can throw parties at a friend's place.
>Fuck winning the lottery.
I refuse to play because it's an insult to my beliefs and philosophies on life. Plus it sends a hindering message to yourself subconsciously.

>>463640
I look past the overt content and focus on what it symbolizes. That's the important part.

I don't trip fag for other people. I do it because this will be archived somewhere and I value my own opinion on stuff greatly. There has been many times where I have gone back and read stuff I wrote previously.

>>463648
If money boosts your self esteem and removes stress from you then, yep. Plus money can make setting up fun situations and events easier.
>Below average guy with money can beat average dude with no money(disregarding extremes). Money wins because it allows for interesting props and potentially fun situations.

Sitting at home playing monopoly vs going to an exclusive party. Or mcdonald's and a movie vs an awesome sushi restaurant and an expensive music show.

But a really cool guy can become connected and have access to all of it.

>>463726
I am actually starting to think that I belong to a group of chosen people who are given a special ability to become rich, like 0.0001% of the population or something, i don't know it bewilders me.

Ah well i can't blow my trumpet too much i'm yet to do it myself, all though i know exactly what i have to do and am on the right path of doing it, lets hope i stay on it!

It is easy enough and only takes 20 years to do, once your 40 you can relax and spend the next 40 years looking after your health and raising the next wave on millionaires, and they can do the same. Crazy to think it could all start with me.

If i have not given you guys enough inspiration and motivation then i don't know.

>>463793

Well, although I do agree with someone's spelling being an indicator of how one has the ability to execute a plan efficiently or effectively(or maybe both). But it seems to be that you're taking it as the only indicator, and that you're holding it against him.

I'm in love with Lexus. My philosophy is value over brand. If I'm rich I'll buy a Lexus and won't spend money on Ferrari, Lamborghini, Rolls Royce, Bugatti, Bentley.

Lexus is the brand name for "overpriced Toyota", why don't you buy Toyota for ultimate value?

>>462726
Spot on!

>>462726
One mistake newly rich people make is ignoring the value loss, especially people who are rich but still have to work to maintain their lifestyle.

Some Sportstars are spending half of their income on some stupid shit. So you have signed a contract and you will get 10 million this year. So the first think they are buying is some big house (1 million), a few cars (sportscar, and a SUV, 400.000), some jewlery (100.000), well you need new furniture, some rims, new clothes, parties...........and the list goes on.

Why not buy a used Lambo? A new car loses so much value after one year.
Why not buy a reasonable flat/house? A big house needs a gardener, pool boy, house keeping.......you'll not do this yourself.
Do you really need a 20k watch and put diamonds all over it? Bottle service at a club every week and make it rain on some strippers?

scarface.jpg

your ideal flats look like fucking hotel rooms. i'd never feel at home in something like that.

>>464123
What makes it worse is they only really have that earning power for 10 years or so before they need to retire.

Why would I buy a used Lambo, if I was a millionaire I wouldn't buy used cars. It's about fucking status.

>Why not buy a reasonable flat/house? A big house needs a gardener, pool boy, house keeping.......you'll not do this yourself.
Once again, status, and no I won't do it myself, that's part of the status, having other people do it for me.

>Do you really need a 20k watch and put diamonds all over it? Bottle service at a club every week and make it rain on some strippers?
Yes, yes I do.

fuck this kind of traveling though.
it's interesting to do a road trip to atacama desert with psychedelics, or to explore the amazonian forest on foot, not to do some fucking tourism and dine in restaurants

God damn is anyone else someone that really wants to make a lot of money but not really for themselves?

idk all of the wealthy people that I've ever met (two billionaires, lots of hundred million dollar people) are fucking miserable by the time they're 50. I just wanna make money for the challenge of it, and to be able to create charity clinics and pay for my family's college and stuff, not spend my money like a pro athlete or some autistic Arab who coats everything in gold.

I'm poor right now (always have been) but most people have no idea how much it can suck to be rich.

Sorry if this makes no sense I'm really drunk, and I just read over this and I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this post will attract fedora.jpg

I've often found that people who try really hard at a younger age to obtain extreme wealth are usually extremely insecure, and wish to live life like their favorite rapper. Wish I was kidding, but the most successful people my age that I know personally aren't successful because they chased the money, it's because they chased their own special shit. That's really cliche but if you really have a passion, you'll be able to make money off it.

Oh, yeah pretty much this >>462626

http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_gilbert_asks_why_are_we_happy?language=en

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hedonic_treadmill

Also I don't have the link offhand but studies show that money doesn't increase hapiness past a certain point, and said point is low, like 60-80k/year or something.

>>464227
Dude you're fucking delusional. I'm guessing you're in Finance or some field like that because you saw Wolf of Wall Street?

When there's no challenge in life, it loses it's spark, it's excitement. Vintage car racing is so huge among the rich because no matter how much money they have and how powerful of a car they buy, they have to work to get a fast lap time to be competitive.

>>464169
If you can afford your status, do it!
What I'm saying is millionaires tend to live a lifestyle like billionaires.

What I experienced after I met some guys from the US is this:
We in Europe go mostly into debt beacause of an investment, the USA tend also to go into debt for consumption. Living paycheck to paycheck.

Consume if you can afford it, simple as that.

>>465303

>>465315
It's fake modesty. They have enough money that even if they spent $1MM on a car it wouldn't make a difference. The reason they buy cheap is so everyone will notice and say "wow, they're so modest!" It's still vanity, just not in the traditional sense. Everyone already knows they're rich so buying a cheaper car (or other items) actually adds to their status by making them appear "down to earth" and "humble", even though on the inside they're just as vain as everyone else.

>>464767

Agreed, millionaire is literally nothing and is easier to attain. Heck my brother is a millionaire but that doesn't mean what it used. Owning several businesses while also investing is the best way rather than just investing, the only way to create billions is to sell a product rather than back a product although that requires actual work (Sometimes this board forgets that).

That's because Zuckerberg isn't actually rich.

You gotta spend money to make money. Saving is just an investment in the stability of your local financial system with an infinitesimally small return.

Also, don't underestimate the self-perpetuating psychological effects of spending money on yourself.

IE, it's a lot harder to rationalize away your desire for a Ferrari when you drive a fast car instead of an econobox.

if they were as vain as everyone else they would have bought a nice car...

So I've been living the good life for a while now, as far as neetdom comes. I make $18 an hour sitting on my ass for rudimentary computer knowledge. I literally get paid to play video games and watch netflix at work. Today I made $27 an hour doing it.

But let me tell you: a few days ago, my CEO let me take his Mercedes E63 AMG out for the weekend - and I was disappointed. I thought spending 120k on a car would be like operating a dream - and it was. It drove well, was quick as shit, and comfortable all around the inside.

But it just...wasn't...good enough. I want more. I want cars that aren't just cookie cutter playthings for millionaires with no taste. I don't want red Ferraris, aka baby's first supercar. I don't want fucking uniconic Porsches or Maseratis, aka "I'm rich but I'm too stupid to buy a car that's anything but a badge." And don't get me started on BMWs.

I want to make so much money that I ruin people's lives. I want to make so much money that I can drive up to some idiot and his trophy wife in a Ferrari, rev my engine, and steal his goddamn wife for a night. I want to eat such nice food that people beg me instead to donate the money to a charity - which I'll say no to. I want to rent out Disneyland during their Gay Days to infuriate an entire fucking demographic. I want to hire private detectives to ruin the lives of people who've antagonized me in the past, whether or not they got away with it in the end.

Some of you will say "le edgy fedora tipper" and to you I say, come at me. I'm not backing down ever again.

Nah. For people that rich, any luxury car just ends up being tacky. A billionaire driving a shitty car is basically their version of hipsterism.

>>467031

It doesn't have to be a shitty car or a Maclaren. There's a middle ground. If you assume that money simply isn't a factor, that you can choose any car you please for free, then you'll choose something that doesn't look retarded, is comfortable and powerful enough for easy driving to suit your needs.

I actually got through my gig through an agency. They take a cut from your pay. My actual salary would've been around £600 per day, but I only saw about £450 after they raped me.

But it was the only way for me to get my foot into the door with top tier clients. Otherwise it's actually quite tough to land a nice job. Market is heavily saturated. Most of the other contractors I knew there where 'freelancers'. They had their own cards and basically work on a 'self employed' bases.

You can only really go out freelancing as a contractor after you have about 5+ solid years of experience working in that industry and role. Then you just throw yourself out there and apply for contract type job roles as they come through.

As a newbie you will have to start somewhere near the bottom. You can't just jump into a contractor position. You'll have to get a 'regular' job and gain experience and build your CV. You have to remember; companies hire contractors to get people in quick who know what they're doing and can hit the ground running, they are not looking for 'trainees' or people looking to build a career at the company. Likewise, they're looking to get people in quick so they are also looking to get rid of you quick if they need to. Thus is the life of the contractor.

It was a hot summer day and I was in my workout room benching 1200 pounds. My abs were flexing and girls within a 10 mile radius were getting wet. Once I was done with my daily 32 hour workout I called one of the bitches I know, Jessica. She is really damn hot and looks like a supermodel. SO I got into my Lamborghini Gallardo and reved it up to 40,000 RPM (this is an Italian import with special engine system). I got onto the freeway near my house and threw it into 8th gear, I hit about 600 mph and I could hear the sonic boom as I broke the sound barrier. As I was flooring it on the freeway like a badass, Jessica called me and said she wanted me to fuck her. So be it.

I came to a full stop from 700 mph in front of her house. These Ferrari’s have top notch brakes, you know. So she gets out of the house and walks up to my Bugatti and starts eyeballing my dick. I could tell she was staring at it because when I looked at her I noticed she was looking at my dick. Booya.

Flash forward 10 minutes later. My 30 inch dick is going inside of her VAGINA, hitting them walls. I’m holding her entire body up with my left pinky as I’m fucking her and she has 30,000 orgasms. She looks me in the eyes and she says “harder.” V-TEC just kicked in, yo. I blow my load so hard she falls off my dick. There had to have been about two pints of cum everywhere. People say I cum like a pornstar, I wouldn’t disagree with them.

I throw her a towel so she can clean herself up then I do a triple backflip into my Maserati and drive home.

You will prevail!

All of you in this thread. I have a few specific questions for you.

Are you familiar with Buddhism? Are you aware that amassing material objects doesn't matter? Not from a nihilist point of view, but from a realistic point of view.

Would you be willing to share your amassed fortunes with other people if it meant that everyone could have enough, instead of a select few having a ridiculous amount and others suffering in poverty?

Do you willingly live a life floating in an ocean of greed and gluttony? What are your motivations?

>>469969
Don't listen to anyone if they've never been poor

Don't trust anyone if they've never been at war

>>464700

I'm struggling to pay for school right now. Trying to find a job. The only job offers in my town are mcdonalds and auto parts stores. If I had $5000 I could survive for another 6 months. Instead I'm almost broke, my 2 cards are almost maxed out, at a combined total of $2200. If I don't get a job soon I'll end up on the street and not be able to keep going to college. I just want to get out of my situation. I do not enjoy being here.

Do you ever think about people like me when you buy these things?

>>470004

Not sure if you're interested in reading manga but try reading Homunculus, half way through it you will understand why your type of mindset is wrong.

You talk as if greed and gluttony are bad things, you're wrong, they are an undeniable part of human nature. Only humans who have an elevated level of greed can truly reach the realm of freedom, richness, luxury and dreams.

Cutting off that bond will completely destroy your life, greed is what keeps humans alive.

>>464056
>not wanting to live where you're inherently superior without having to do anything

iHaz, is that you?

>>470004
I am a little familiar with Buddhism. Ultimately, objectively nothing matters. Enlightenment doesn't matter. Becoming uuber wealthy doesn't matter. Reality and existence is nothing more than a game or a really big improv play with a loose and changeable script. We are allowed to choose how we play or perform. The game(s) have rules and we are influenced by them.

I want both spiritual attainment and material attainment. Maybe these to will conflict in the future but from my limited understanding they aren't currently conflicting for "me".

Actually the opposite has occurred for me. Learning about proper methods of material attainment has required me to first learn about nonphysical attainment first. ;D

If you believe in reincarnation and all that stuff(not saying yes or no either way) then you should also believe that people are where they need to be, to learn what they need to learn or become what they need to become. I know what poverty is like and people just giving me shit all the time would have been a disservice and stunted my growth.

Poor gonna poor.

>Greed
I don't believe in amassing wealth by taking from others, I believe in offering equal or lucrative exchange.

>Gluttony
Is there a such thing as spiritual gluttony?

I personally think gluttony is about indulgence to the point of losing control. If you are never a slave to the dough does that mean you can have as much as you please?
