I Don't Want to Be Wealthy Anymore…

[Al BundyParticipant 245]

You don’t have to live rich just because you are. Keep your business and grow that wealth; if you’ve been successful for a long while you might not grasp just how hard a buck can be to come by these days. You might still be good and yet unlucky the next time you try to build a business venture if you let this one go. Don’t be rash. If life’s too easy then make it a challenge. Instead of seeing all your income as available to you, set a “living salary” that you pay yourself annually, or a percentage of your annual income if you want to make it more interesting, and then force yourself to live within those means for the year. It might be a way to cut the bulls~~~ out of your life while still building a hefty financial safety net/nest egg for the future. You never know what’s ahead. Someday you might really need or just want a pile of cash.

[W]e are MGTOW. We eat shaming language like tic tacs.

Men need to have a purpose. We are built this way. In your post it is not at all clear you have a purpose. And I’m not talking about simply making money. It has to be deeper than that. Why did you first want to make money? What was the underlying motivation for that? So you could what….?

"Women are directly adapted to act as the nurses and educators of our early childhood, for the simple reason that they themselves are childish, foolish, and short-sighted—in a word, are big children all their lives, something intermediate between the child and the man, who is a man in the strict sense of the word. Consider how a young girl will toy day after day with a child, dance with it and sing to it; and then consider what a man, with the very best intentions in the world, could do in her place.” Quote from Arthur Shopenhauer, 17th century philosopher

Better yourself brother. In mind, In body, In spirit. Advance yourself and rise up and keep rising. Whatever you do though do not spend it on a woman! It is yours and yours alone. I wish you luck in this journey brother.

What people call "love" is just a chemical reaction that compels animals to breed. It hits hard, then it slowly fades, leaving you stranded in a failing marriage. Your parents are gonna do it. Break the cycle. Rise above. Focus on science.

@op: You remind me of some of my family members. I come from a wealthy business family. They’re rich … but they’re always stressed out. Some people get so obsessed with making money that they don’t realize that money has no inherent value. You spend it on things that actually have value.

My Advice: Chillax. Don’t do anything rash with that cash. Take a “staycation”. A “staycation” is like a vacation except you stay where you live.

Spend your money on plain old food so that your staycation can persist for as long as you like. Go on the internet and learn some fun facts about stuff. Read about the coolest men from history and the coolest animals of prehistory. Let your mind wander aimlessly and write down the most interesting things you can imagine. Spend time laughing at/with people online. Get together with other guys and behave like a teenager.

I will admit that I am fairly young and inexperienced … but most of my happiness comes from my holy trinity: Brotherhood, creativity and ancient knowledge. I hope this helps.

MGTOW: because you can (and should) say anything about a woman as long as she isn't within earshot

I kind of agree and I kind of disagree with the OP.

I agree that with more wealth, for me at least, has caused more problems. I can hide my paycheck from the vast majority of people, but my family back in the States knows about how much I make. Now everyone looks for me to bail them out of their issues. Pain in the neck.

On the other hand, there’s something quite satisfying knowing as the black sheep of the family, the one that didn’t kiss up to my mother, that I am the successful one. That I am looking at retirement quite soon.

Do I need to buy a bunch of crap to make me happy? Nope. Am I ever going to go back “Home”? I don’t know. I do know I am going to get a dissent house, wire it for connectivity, let it automate, and drink tea on the porch until noon, start drinking beer until 5pm, then get into the hard stuff.

Don't stick your dick into anyone you aren't willing to put up with for eighteen years and nine months.

Give back to communities if you have money, you can uplift neighbourhoods, or support MGTOW. The most rewarding things tend to be the ones that make others happy, and since you have apparent financial security you’re free! You’ve accomplished what 90% of the population never does, if you can actually quit your job today and not have to work again. The world is f~~~ing massive theirs more things to see and discover than you could possible witness with a 400 year lifespan.

Ok dude.

PM me and I’ll give you my paypal.

Send me some money.

Dumb f~~~, go bitch somewhere else about your 1% er problems..

This isn’t a forum full of buddhist monks. You wanna solve your problem real quick, offer to give everybody on this forum $1k USD.

Or go get a bag of $100 bills and go on top of the Empire state building and make it rain.

You said you had a business. You have employees? Maybe give them a raise c~~~.

No, what people like you really want is attention. Look at me I make so much money but I’m not happy. Money doesn’t buy happiness guys. Don’t ask for raises or change careers trying to make more money. It’s not worth it ;). Learn from me.

Maybe if you weren’t a miserable scrooge you’d be happier spending or giving away some of that money.

You just cant set goals with money anymore so set goals with other things. Try and make your hobbies things you can enjoy making 20k a year. Reading, exercising, audiobooks, philosophy, tobacco or coffee.

Dude go into survivalist. Im to pampered now is a disgusting excuse. It will be fun.

I already spend some of my part time college job paycheck on survivalist stuff.

You could build an arsenal of weapons, food, ammo, cigarettes, sliver, gold. Have your own f~~~ing bunker.
