Most of my clients are HNIs and it seems like the majority of them are either divorced and/or have at least one child with addiction issues. My guess is it’s a combination of the breadwinner being a workaholic and his/her dependents not having to work at all that makes this situation so common. So I guess a downside to being loaded is it seems easier to wreck your family life.

are there any examples of someone who got rich and improved their personality? I think a lot of pathetic guys get rich and it becomes the basis of their own self worth, and they start trying to buy friends/love instead of being a pleasant person

Sounds like a personal issue. If you have money, you can amplify any idea you could dream of and bring it to reality. Whether that's building an animal shelter, building a band, touring the world, traveling the world, curing a specific illness in your family, or just building out the biggest family possible

what about it? How is working as a wage cuck better than being wealthy and taking care of your community/church/family?
> I think a lot of pathetic guys get rich and it becomes the basis of their own self worth, and they start trying to buy friends/love instead of being a pleasant person
wouldn't being wealthy and a pleasant person be ideal? The majority of wealthy people I met do not want anyone knowing they are rich at all. They do a lot to hide the fact

Yeah divorce is pretty common regardless of net worth. But how many middle class kids end up on heroin? Obviously some do, but as a fellow middle class kid, I am confident trust fund babies outnumber us per capita in the junkie population.

>>56138572
> vinegar
what's this supposed to mean? I don't see how anyone is morally better wage slaving instead of building a business to get wealthy. It's a lot of work to build it up, then a lot less work when you outsource the work to your team and simply manage and figure out ways to scale, then you've basically made it, just keep reducing hours from that point on. Literally only seems like a skill issue.
>>56138592
>trust fund babies
I agree, but I would just not tell my family about the money. I would not give out any money unless it was an extreme situation and made it seem like I moved hell to make it happen. That and making sure to let my parents live in a nice real estate property of mine

Take a lesson from the Greek Stoics: The less you want the more you have.

There's a lot of bullshit that comes with building wealth and keeping it. Stop and ask yourself if it's really worth it. As a banker who works with a lot of wealthy clientele and is around a lot of money, I don't envy their lifestyles, the burdens they've taken on to get there, and their retarded spending habits to justify to themselves that all the bullshit they deal with is worth it.

More of your strength goes to support the immoral system via taxes.
You're more likely to get divorce raped as the incentive for your master to divorce you scales higher.
You waste a lot of time and youth trying to get rich.
You become accustomed to being an expendable cog in the system rather than actually developing real human survival skills.
You'll never be sure if women or friends actually like you for you and not your wealth.

1. Gold diggers. Can be fun but also can be soul destroying and demoralizing.
2. Past paying your bills you get very little extra happiness and potentially much more anxiety as you get more money.
3. The price you paid to get the wealth may not be worth it. Many wealth people are workaholics incapable of experiencing joy.
4. More psycopaths. The lower class are full of emotional idiots and addicts who have their particular charm but the upper class attracts a certain polished psycho who will gut you with a smile on their face.

This is what interested me enough to start this thread. Is the burden worth it? I do think it's likely worth it but you have to limit yourself to a quality lifestyle and experiences and not stacking stuff or trying to impress people. I think actualizing the maximum utility you get from money is probably around $10M. After that, it's just to buy yachts or take on some ridiculous projects larping that you're saving the world like Elon. That dude is literally the richest public person and even he still hasn't made a budge changing anything in the world. I would just get to $10M and completely shift to the arts and building out a family/community.

Just don't flex on anyone. I don't care for normies/NPCs at all. Was alienated as a kid and I'm alienated now that I make more than anyone I grew up with. No difference except with money I can do less things I hate and afford doing more things with people I like

[Anonymous No.56142856]

depends what you mean by rich. but generally
>family and friends, if they learn you're rich, will almost assuredly change how they treat you.
>you will never know or trust another person again because they might just be trying to take advantage of your wealth
>even if you only want to be friends with other rich people, generally speaking because there's less of them you're not likely to find someone who you like.
>you WILL become detached from other people regardless, because the things that will cause you stress will be so different from what stresses a 'normal' person out that you might as well be living on different planets. think about how hard it would be to be friends with like, an african jungle tribesman.
>those changes in your personality will make it even more difficult to keep old friends/family
>when you don't have to answer to anyone you'll also lose your filters and start saying really rude awful shit because why should you care what the plebs think?
>that detachment from reality and unwillingness to face unpleasantness, even if its true, will isolate you and can drive you to ruin
>and you'll never see it coming because you've put yourself in a bubble because you're rich, why should you ever experience discomfort ever?
then there's shit like addiction (gambling, drugs, hoarding, etc), the fact you probably don't actually know how to manage money so you might just squander your fortune, and maybe a mental breakdown if you get all the money you want but realize there are things you still can't get (finding love or companionship, solving societal problems, you're still going to die).

now you might not give a shit about any of that in which case who cares, but 'making it' isn't like a finish line. you'll still have shit to deal with. it'll just be really alien shit that nobody will ever sympathize with you for.

As opposed to making no money? At least making money you generally have to provide a service/product that people want. Most NEETs leech off society and don't make anything impressive. If they could make impressive stuff, they would likely be wealthy from the talent like Picasso or Paul McCartney etc

the wealthier you are, the more you can help others. Without money, you're generally very limited to what you can help. Help yourself first, then focus on others.

>You'll never be sure if women or friends actually like you for you and not your wealth.
Most people date because of genetics. They are physically attracted to the other person and looking at them gives them dopamine. The other option is coping through wealth.
As for anything else, just have a fun life and don't care too much. Audit people who share the same values and hobbies. Let it be.
>>56142245
>Gold diggers. Can be fun but also can be soul destroying and demoralizing.
Like I said above, it's all transactional. Either genetics or for affording a grand fun lifestyle.
>Past paying your bills you get very little extra happiness and potentially much more anxiety as you get more money.
Most people are anxious going paycheck to paycheck and fearing their boss will fire them
> The price you paid to get the wealth may not be worth it. Many wealth people are workaholics incapable of experiencing joy.
Workaholic thing is probably true, but I don't think joy means just not doing anything. Mindfulness and enjoying the present is a skill.
>More psycopaths. The lower class are full of emotional idiots and addicts who have their particular charm but the upper class attracts a certain polished psycho who will gut you with a smile on their face.
Somewhat true but poor people face psychos willing to kill them. Rich people generally only experience psychos willing to bankrupt their business ventures to monopolize their own ventures.
