Why don't you have strong intentions on becoming a millionaire? You're relatively smart, and you know this. Are you aware that there's dumber people who graduated in your class that are more successful than you are? Doesn't this fucking sting?

For me it's like, "Yeah, I'm going to college, but I don't really know why I'm even going". I don't want to live on a fucking fixed income from when I'm 24 on up until I fucking hit the retirement age.


Just from an intellectually curious standpoint you have to acknowledge that you're capable of becoming more than what you plan on being, so why settle for less?

I don't want to continue to leave a fucking life in a middle to upper middle class neighborhood. That was great for being a kid up on until now, but I can't see myself locked in that lifestyle for whole nother lifetime.

1. I think that I am not able to ever feel really happy, money can't change that. So why would I work for it if I don't get happier through it? Maybe I'd be too busy to care but that state wouldn't stay for long.
2. I want to spent my life learning, I would like to have millions to finance that though I don't need that much,. maybe also teaching when I'm older. Money and success are not the same thing, at least not for me, I just need two warm rooms with a bath and kitchen, books, food, and a day from which I know that I will learn something new and enough money to finance that.

I wanna be a billionaire, so fuckin baaad...anyway a million or two bucks really isn't that much money these days, it wouldn't last too long unless you budgeted yourself strictly and didn't spend often (and where's the fun in that). I'd still take it though of course.

I guess because I feel like no matter how hard I work, it'll never be enough to reach millionaire-status. Even though I don't mind working 15hrsaday/330daysayear.

>> No.1330237

>>1330229
Yeah, this. It's just too much of a...not-sure thing for me. If someone were to say "OK you work X amount of hours a week and Y amount of weeks a year and by age Z you'll have twenty million dollars in the bank" then I'd start today. But I know people who have worked hard their entire lives in decent professions who still struggle. I guess I'm just lazy, unwilling to risk all that effort. Gotta start somewhere though. One day maybe. Meh.

I don't wanna be a millionaire because if you have money everyone comes around and tries to be your friend. I'd rather be poor and not have people hassle me.

This for me is all the money I'll ever need;

Enough money to;
rent a place (a small flat)
go on huge extended holidays (my holidays are cheap, only costing about $300 - $600 for a month away)
go to pubs and clubs and gigs often
for food, internet and electricity
for amenities

Why would I want more? I don't want to have children, I don't want to buy a huge house, I don't want to have a huge television I'll never use. I just want reasonable comfort and enough money to go out a lot.

>> No.1330288

Not at all.
I do want to have more free money than i have right now, but millions...I just couldnt spend them, i dont know on WHAT.
Cars/houses/bitches/casinos/clubs/Brand shitclothes//first editions of old coolectors books/ - dont need it. So there really is no point.

Master morality is about creating your own values, and treating life like a work of art, and experimenting. I don't think Nietze was all about the bling yo, though there's nothing wrong if that's what you want for yourself.
