that's the trade we make at birth: one foreskin for a lifetime of opportunity

>>51594568
Because we planned for it to be that way for hundreds of years.

it's infuriating, their salaries are so high
you CANNOT suffer as an american

>>51594829
This. They make 4x more and work less than me. And I am already rich for my country's standards. I am in the highest tax bracket here while in the US I would barely pay any tax.

>itt indians who don't understand how much things cost in america think every american is rich

>>51594568

You lived through the age of opportunity. A type of golden age if you will.
In no previous time period could a man jump from the bottom to the top with such great ease.

In the east communism kept people in strict order. Growing up the hierarchy truly did require exception skills even if oftentimes social ones. The communist block would see a brief glimpse of opportunity for 2 generations, yet it would also be plagued by western elites abusing the falling system for their gains.
In the south the african ways have never changed. Innovation is shunned and crushed by a violent K-selected collective. Reproduce fast, die young, even if external factors don't demand it their genes will drive them to idiocy.
In the islamic world a more orderly vioence remains but growth up the heirarchy is still mostly hereditary or limited to truly exceptional individuals.
In the far east with rare exceptions the asian blood demands obedience and high creatity necessary for exceptional jump up the social hierarchy is rare. Perhaps Japan and South Korea being the exception.

All of these people have some sort of reason to claim the conditions brought them down.
But you who lived in the West, you can truly say "we experienced an unprecedented age of growth and abundance of opportunities"

That time is coming to an end. Years of recession are coming. Some say years of high inflation will come with them, others claim deflation will hit assets.
Either way there will be less opportunity, savings will be hit, taxes will rise, supplies of everything that was in abundance before will be limited if available at all. There will be less jobs and some fields, now deemed perspective will become obsolete.

gas in USA per liter is like half that in europe

Does 300 or 400 dolars is too much or low in USA? If you get so much money why you complain when something is 400 dolars when in other countries people need to pay 2000 or 4000 of their currency for the same thing?

Does the average money in the mcdonalds in USA is 1200 dolars? The minimum average in the most average easy job is 1200 dolars in the US? I still think its good because in other countries you need to work for 2 or 3, 6 months to have money to buy a cool thing or 5 or 6 years to have a new car.

>>51594568
Is this a joke? The social mobility in America is god awful

I wish i could make money with every american 10 dolars, 100 dolars, 5 dolars, they thinking that this is nothing, and them i collect 100000 dollars and them put everything in the bank acount of my country.

Or travel to US, and don't come back (i'm white, but i live in a poor country) and them find a way to have a job with at least 1200 dolars to buy games, internet, and rent a house and live in the us, but i only know how to readtheir language and speak and listening in their language is hard to me, even write.

This thread is proof this board is full of broke dumb people from emerging countries. America has problems. Not everyone is rich. You wouldn't know because you don't do anything other than shill shitcoins in here all day

because america enslaved the rest of the world by forcing them to buy dollars in the form of debt and then inflating dollars so everyone else gets caught holding the bag

>>51594938

America is car reliant, sure the gas might be cheaper but you have to buy alot more of it regularly. Combine that with other expenses and it's really not all its chalked up to be. A majority of Americans do not live well at all.

Perhaps in comparison to shitholes like India it's living well but compared to even a few generations back, modern Americans are poor as fuck.

Almost everyone here in America is fat, all the women I work with are fat and ugly. I’d rather live in Japan where the women are thin, STD free, no tattoos/piercings, etc…

so when you see americans make 6x more then you do, realize that everything costs 6x more before you rant and rave about how rich americans are.

Americans simply create more valuable things. Better technology, better finance, better luxury goods, better agriculture, better service jobs, better tradesmen, better pizza, better ingredients, Papa John's.

fucking turd worlders feel entitled to scam and beg every white person they see because all they see is the average income with no context beyond that. when you see a white guy in your country, there's a good chance that it took him a lot of money to get there and he doesn't have a lot to spare for you to rip him off for some big payday.

Major thing imo is that you have 300m+ people who speak the same language. You can scale product easily. You have so many opportunities across the country. All jobs pay more than EU even compared to costs.

>>51594901
We have lower costs in general as well.

Anyway as long as you’re not a europoor you should rejoice because america is an empire that dies in this decade and as long as you don’t die in the world war 3 that ukraine and the upcoming western interference in the 2024 taiwan election definitely is you will inherit the earth. Cheers

I remember when $40-50k was enough to live comfy in burgerland. I was making that and I thought about moving to burgerland because of how cheap things were. Now I am still making that and moving to burgerland is a pipedream because living costs are even more expensive there than they are here

>>51594568
It's actually more difficult to make money in America.

Americans spend too much.

>>51595665

>>51595439
>realize that everything costs 6x more
Canada is way more expensive than even California.
Shut the fuck up, hick.

>>51595731
when they americans they mean white people. they're indians and when they see a pale face they get mad at how unfair it is that we're all "so rich" and it's annoying

>>51595494
What's with white boys and playing victims? You're not a child mining for conflict minerals in Africa, you're some faggoy who makes, hopefully, more then 50k USD a year.
Tell your fat, whore wife to stop remodeling the kitchen every year and shock, gasp, giggle giggle, it's pretty easy to save and make money in mutt, school shooter land.

>>51595760
>when they americans
when they say americans

i meant americans in the general sense. you don't have to tell me how everything costs even more in canada, i live there

>>51595777
i don't have any money and i can't afford vegetables. but i'm sooooo rich because i make over A THOUSAND DOLLARS A MONTH WOW

I always thought it was easier to immigrate to Canada because of the visa and because it is cheaper and easier to make money than the US, I just don't like places with extreme cold temperature like I imagine Canada is. I'm white and I live in South America.

On the other hand, it makes us think that homeless people or people with no money in the US are the dumbest, brainless people because we think that any horrible job in the US would pay enough to buy a car, the best video game, the best internet, rent a house, and live comfortably with money to have fun.

But I wouldn't have the patience to live with race bait with blacks in the US the way I read on the internet, I wouldn't want to live with that social stress.

>>51595777
Thank god you won’t breed

>>51595590

Its not easier. There are mote obstacles and major inherent tradeoffs that you dont control. I grew up in serbia and moved to the US. I came here after I got my degree and knew what i wanted. If you avtually think its so much easier to get rich being born in america, its brcause youve never really been here

>>51595833
>any horrible job in the US would pay enough to buy a car, the best video game, the best internet, rent a house, and live comfortably with money to have fun.
americans buy all these things with DEBT they can't actually afford it, they spend a lifetime paying that shit off and after the bills they have less then nothing left. they buy shit on debt they cant actually afford. everything costs more. if they had us wages and south american prices yeah they could live like kings, they don't.

>>51595705
>there are plenty of americans going to food banks.
I'm one of those Americans, you fucking faggot.
I'm not entitled to food stamps but I make LESS THAN 30k a year while living in Worcester Massachusetts.

americans are unironically like gods
only good thing here is lidl

>>51595883
I understand, so the good thing for me would be to earn money in the US and send it to my country and live in my country as a king.

Actually I'm not even poor, but I don't have a job and I depend on the money from two houses that my mother and father gave me, I'm upper middle class in my country, I have RTX 3080, PC Gamer, PS5, Iphone, everything but i worry about the future

But I worry about having a job or trying to get rich in some way to live risk-free the day I don't have my parents anymore.

>>51596159
You need passive or semi passive income streams. You sound smart enough to make some.

>>51595410
Same. Why do American women cover themselves in ugly tattoos and piercings? Did they actually think it looked good? Lol

>>51596159
>the good thing for me would be to earn money in the US and send it to my country and live in my country as a king
yes but while you're working in america you're paying $3 for a loaf of bread and over a grand a month in rent, so you're not sending back as much as you think

>>51596346
Tats and piercings are hot but not when she's overweight, has poor hygiene, and wears shitty cheap walmart clothes.

You have mcdonalds workers earning $16-20 an hour, while in Britain even as a skilled worker you'd be lucky to get £14-15 an hour. I guess there's health insurance to pay for but even including that it'd still more money over all.

>>51596505
>Tats and piercings are hot
they're gross and trashy and stupid looking. i'm watching a porn and the woman rolls over and there's a tattoo on her back, i exit the video. it's so fucking dumb and cringe looking i can't even. tattoos are the worse. pierced nipples no thanks what the fuck is wrong with you. awful

You need to be extremely stupid and a retarded massive consumerist to be poor in the US

Take a look at the people complaining about being poor in the US. They’re playing lives in tutorial mode and still complain. They have time to do so in an incel forum when they could be working, what does that tell you?

America is the land of opportunity basically. other places don't have much opportunity or none at all.

>>51594568
your perspective is fucked. you can be broke in any other country and live a dignified life, not in america. you're crushed from above (the economic algorithm and its masters) and below (african americans are the most violent group of people on the planet). living in the US is a CONSTANT hustle and you literally never get to relax because you're one fuck up away from living in the worst ghetto hell you can imagine where you are targeted for the color of your skin (if it is white). and if you have kids? its even harder, constantly moving school districts because of forced integration, you need to make a quarter of a million dollars minimum just to ensure your kids can go to a safe school

Why don’t you move to a rural city with low crime and demographics similar to yours?

>>51594568
I don't live in America and make a decent amount of income, retard. You just need the right strategies. Good portfolios like SUPRA, their partners MILE, associates like XPRESS and the mains. Maybe VTI and shit too

If rural area in the USA is the same as in my country, a place for people who like trees, fruits, raise cows, have chickens, maybe he finds it boring to live in rural area, I only go to rural area when I visit my mother's farm a few times a year, but I don't think I could live away from everything in the city, but if it's impossible to live with these social problems with blacks in the US, it would be an alternative to immigrate to a rural area with similar demographics.

>>51594568

>>51596986
i've never once seen a tat that looks good. it's not classy, it's not elegant, you look stupid. it doesn't look cool, it doesn't make you interesting, everyone has one now. women with tats especially is awful because its not very feminine. used to be only criminals and sailors got tattoos now more then half of all millenial women have tattoos. its just terrible, it's dumb, it's ugly. you're awful

>>51597106

Start recording how much you pay in taxes. On what you buy, what you earn, what you make, what you own, what appreciation you get, etc. Then wonder how anyone makes any money anywhere.

>>51598681
You can do that anywhere.

>>51598962
(well maybe not anymore, I don't think there will be any more growth of the indexes anymore, just pumping of random papers. With the commies in power everywhere, taxes will go to 100% because now they want the money you made during the good times, so they can make everyone equally poor.)

>>51594568
>Why is it so easy to get rich in America but impossible in other countries?
Because America is retarded and built their bullshit economy around breeding imbeciles who jump at opportunities before reading whether there are laws against such things or considering whether those businesses might be fucking over the planet.

These dumbfucks got rich through sheer fucking luck (for every one of them using their strategies, like fucking 7.5 of them crashed and burned) and then they used some survivorship bias fallacy to conclude that they were superior and build the entire economy around giving people like themselves shortcuts to get to the top faster.

You're getting fucked over, stop blaming yourself and start blaming the evil government you live under. Read the meme you posted.

If you're really from MA, you should be noticing some things in the coming years which may help shape the future of Man. Like for starters, why would some terrorists throw a bomb into the Boston Marathon instead of bombing a local police station or other quasi-military target? Think about that a while; write down "boston marathon bombing" so you remember it when shit hits the fan.

Pajeets, chinks, south Americans etc value:
- safety over security
- average performance over peak performance
- tradition over correctness

The only correct answer here. Amuricans are simply incredibly intelligent, that's a fact. Our work ethic is superior. Our looks are superior. We have the best universities, best food, best healthcare, biggest and baddest mega corporations. Feels good to be American anons.

If south americans value safety, why are there so many home invasions, robberies, and "two dudes on a moto" incidents?

>Begged for reliance on dollars.
Nah, I'm sure that was the case for a while after WWII when the dollar was backed by gold, and still is for small third world shitholes because their own governments are so corrupt and their local currencies' inflation so high, but I don't think it's the only factor anymore. The US literally goes to war with any countries that try to remove themselves from the dollar standard: e.g.. Iraq, Lybia and now Russia.

Dad?

Tech subsidies, Tech M&A, Tech IPOs

What happens is americans are good at marketing... they know that marketing is the blood and oxygen of any company, and the more marketing they do more money they put in their pockets... Other peoples have not realized it yet, they "wait" that customers will show up in their stores and give them money

not a lot if youre over 30 wagie. i have 180k and turning 30 in 5 months and feel poor af relative to everyone i see on instagram

society is one big social contract. TO GENERALIZE, in business, people admire, like, and trust americans. if they do not feel these things, they REQUIRE them to do business. it's about that simple. the idea of a meritocracy is pretty much totally made up as a justification for life. everything is positioning and perceptions. people perceive americans as successful and necessary, therefore they are. i kind of agree with >>51613364 but saying 'marketing' is oversimplifying it. little more nuanced than that but yes it's all about perceptions and presentation and positioning yourself in the most advantageous place

america is THE BEST place to be if you're rich. what third worlders don't understand is 'rich' isn't their definition of rich. it means really rich - like global wealth, wealthy in ANY country on earth including US, Europe, etc. - not just 'rich' in the fucking third world sense of having air conditioning

I notice nobody took the bait, so I'll just expand on this and say how I don't know how this isn't common knowledge. If you look at all the wealth made in the U.S. since the 90s, outside of financial services and real estate (for obvious reasons), almost all of it was in tech and this personal wealth is generated mostly through high multiples and huge valuations.

One thing that truly annoyed me about visiting other countries was finding tipping culture adopted anywhere tourists were expected. Third worlders behave like pic related if you are a decently dressed white man. Goddamn I hate tipping.

This thread is full of bullshit. Americans are literal Jewish slaves who pay some of the highest taxes on the planet. They have to pay Federal, State AND Local taxes. They're also the only citizens in the world who can be double taxed. And you can add to this zero consumer and employee rights, zero job security, zero welfare as a safety net to stop you from becoming homeless (hence the ridiculously huge homeless camps in every single city), going bankrupt if you face a random health emergency, and the highest rates of drug abuse in the first-world.

america is literally the land of capitalism, here you can look up some cheap shit on dextools and get rich in a week

>Bragging about donating six figures to the banks in the impending bail-ins

Once u start accumulating wealth, The US has so many financial tools to lower ur risks. From LLC, trust, and bankruptcy. It is so easy that is almost most people can make money, but for some mental issue they just blow their nut right before.(ie lose it to lifestyle, drugs, alcohol, or multiple divorce). Ie I am a software developer, bought a shitty th on 2009, for 120k. It was in bad condition. So started to ask how to fix it, it was expensive, so I started by going to youtube and going to the free Home Depot classes. My coworkers looked at me I was a retard. Within 6 months I understood that the real estate world was full of the dumbest people, but they were making money left and right. Now with 8 properties I live in a 2 br condo. I am worth over 5 Mill and have passive income, work for the insurance only. I think if u are not entitled and have half of a brain. The US is the best place to build a legacy.

Japan doesn't follow "economic theory" because they are an island nation with a very strong culture
It's like Diocletian beating inflation by straight up ignoring it with his implementation of tax-units
The quote is often missunderstood but society is indeed a social construct, whatever the Japanese believe becomes reality because of the fact that they believe in it, a reverse catch-22 of sort
