Remember this, having millions just sitting there in mutual funds while working 9-5 and living frugally means you didn’t make it.

Ask yourself, what would you be doing right now if you had made it?

The answer is probably exactly what you're doing right now, maybe in a different place, or a different detail, or whatever.

What if we, us on /biz/, the NEETs, the rejects, the robots, the left behind, have already actually made it?

What if our friendships were the true gains all along?

Maybe you want to be drunk and high all the time because of how bad you feel that you haven't made it yet? Ever thought about that?

>> No.17006371

Nobody enjoys routines but it’s comfortable. Then you close your eyes and the next thing you see when you wake up is that you are old as fuck and regret things you didn’t do but it’s too late. I watched a YouTube video on things people from 5-75yrs old regret and it’s scary as fuck. It amazed me of how young people regret things they have done while old people regret things they didn’t do. Powerful.

I'd be visiting my family. I'd be warm and fed. I'd be in a house or at least an apt/condo. I wouldn't resent being an honorable or ethical person. I'd be able to remove these painful wisdom teeth. A few other responsible things. Maybe go to a festival/rave for the first time. Basic things that should have happened in my 20's.
Don't abandon your kids at 15 for image/freedom.

Humans crave routine. It's nice to shake it up once in a while but prolonged periods without routine will leave you in a very confused place.
I don't get what you're so panzy about. What is ''IT'' exactly that you need to do so you don't die with regret? skydiving? watching a sunset? These are all just experiences. Like anything they come and go leaving you craving. A memory is easily forgotten with alzheimers. Experience seeking and memory building isn't ''it''.

Interesting stuff, I've been trying to put it into coherent words for awhile now. It's pretty cringe hearing kids complain about expectations from their parents, social groups, teachers etc. But if you spend more than one minute thinking about it, if you are even mildly socially active (have a job, go to school) people (who have some form, even mild, of power over us, whether it be social, financial etc) expectations of us completely dictate how we behave, and on a long enough timescale who we become.

For example, it's difficult to talk about this without sounding like I'm complaining, but it was always my father's expectation that I go to college. So I did, and I hated it, I wish I just picked up a trade after highschool and started living on my own. But I couldn't, there werr strong mental chains that I could not break.

When we are young, many people have many expectations of us, when we're old, nobody expects anything from us.

See, you’re like moat people who missed the whole point of living. Your priority should never be how much money to make it or not. Working for money is wrong. You should want to make money so you don’t have to work. That’s two different things. You want to maximize free time to so things that you want, not the other way around, to maximize time working to make more money is stupid.

Mmmmno I wouldn't, I'd be in my own cozy house near family, hanging out with family, flying to various places to visit friends and exotic destinations, drinking at every beach bar in the world. Instead I'm a thousand miles away from my nearest relative because it was a good job offer, alone, in an apartment.

Obviously poor. People get rich by aligning their desires with making money. People who are rich *like* working. They aren't wasting their time. After a certain point ($0.5-$1M net worth), so many other opportunities open up that let them double or 10x their money, and the world seems easy. It's a game like any other, and just a fun, and with real life prizes. You think this is wrong, but that's because you've never tasted success.

People who die at old age with alzheimer is a fucking blessing. Imagine you were lying your dead bed, feeling tired and hard to breath, so weak and ready to go that you couldn’t even have the strength to hold your fart, would you close your eyes and think about all the overtime you had worked or the great experiences you had had.

You are one of the lucky ones anon. Consciousness is a curse. There is one and only one purpose of our existence is to pass on our ADN, it’s information that atmost important and we are merely just a vessel. After successful reproduction, our lives become meaningless. So spending the life to make money is beyond meaningless isn’t it.
