Is it really worth becoming rich for a MGHOW?

[VarunParticipant 2981]

I mean, we don’t have the need to provide for anyone else other than ourselves. A decent income would make do for the rest of our life.

I’m not saying that we shouldn’t be saving t~~~ and bits to buy that really nice car or that nice apartment….

But if you take marriage etc. out of the equation, you really don’t need that much money. …. . at least those who just want an easy life without much effort.

We’ve been taught that we need to be rich so that later in life we can be good providers (not applicabe to us); so that we can get ‘best of the best’. I’ve found that the best of the best is nothing other than your intrinsic happiness. If you already have that, why should you want more than what you need?

We won’t be taking our money along with us after we die… would we?

Maybe this thought of mine was similar to the level-3 MGTOW ideology.. but I’m sure someone here will know better.

What are the other things ‘getting rich’ would enable you to do? ‘Feel good about yourself’? ‘Make you feel like you’re at the top of the world’?

I already feel pretty good about myself. I only require enough so that I can live the rest of my life sitting back in my recliner and sipping my non-acoholic martini. Other than that, what really is there?

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

I agree. I have enough. I have everything I really need, and a comfortable surplus of funds to fix things when they break. Why should I work myself into a case of ulcers for a few bucks?

Time spent working for Giant Corp. is stolen from quality time with my dog and my various hobbies and interests.

Money earned working for GC is nothing but fodder for the tax man.

Society asks MGTOWs: Why are you not making more tax-slaves?

I started planning my retirement when I was 17. I made a choice not to struggle later in life (whether single or married). I chose a profession that would achieve that goal.

It is said you should do what you like and like what you do, but I did not take that path, I got on the money train instead and now, I am satisfied with that decision.

I have an easy job. I have been there for years, I am second in command and I don’t have to take s~~~ from anyone. I take a week off every six weeks to do what I like to do and I still get paid. I am 50 years old now an will be retiring FOREVER in 25 months. I plan to spend the rest of my life doing the things I find enjoyable, that includes golf, hunting, fishing, indulging my dog, wearing gym shorts and t-shirts instead of suits, driving fast and staying up late.

Had I married, the picture would be bleak. I have a friend who earns $400K a year and he will never be able to retire. The more he makes, the more his wife spends. He has told me many times, he thinks he will die at his desk working, just to keep up with her spending.

I have all that I want and more than I need and I have no regrets.

Can’t hurt to be rich. You could probably help a lot of men and veterans. For me, getting rich is a means to an end, not the end itself.

I bathe in the tears of single moms.

As a matter of fact I do. I own a 4 bedroom house that I used to rent out. It is now occupied by 4 veterans of the Iraq war. I provide the house free of charge as a transitional residence for these guys until they get on their feet. The VFW placed them there after a screening and selection process and all they have to pay are the utilities.

I am appreciative of their efforts on my behalf.

Well lets be honest.

Money makes things possible. Without it I would not have my house paid off, my greenhouse, my garden, my trips to Ireland or my other computer related items.

I could live without them. But I have worked so I can enjoy myself. So I see no reason in not working at a job I like and a profession I love.

It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion, it is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shaking, the shaking becomes a warning; it is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion.

Sure, I have lots of stuff, but riches? I’m FILTHY RICH, like a bird not chained and bound to a perch!

While I was doing alley-oops in the super pipe, ripping up Devil’s Den, nailing some of the sickest lines on the steepest terrain, snowmobiling the Green Mnts (thousands of combined miles)., buying whatever the f~~~ “I want”, and living life like bird chasing a moth, other dudes were chained to their gynocentric perch only wishing they could! (mere words can’t describe)

You can’t put a price on LIVING!However, you can put a $price$ on the deficit of being in a relation$hit with another one of gynocentralia’s blood sucking womb-bats!

The only use I have for a woman? I dunno? perhaps slap on some ski wax and ride her down the mountain, Magic Mountain in particular, the strata rocks there stick out like giant sharp saw teeth, I’d have her cored out in 3 runs!

The major reason I became a MGHOW is because I want freedom, period. Not being chained to the financial death trap of women is a great way to be free. Money also allows freedom. Freedom to go anywhere, do anything, ect. That’s all money is. Money should not be the goal, it should be freedom, and money helps us facilitate that goal.

Have some in the bank, do you want a nice car? Save for it. Want a nice place? Save for it. As long as you’re happy with what you have, that’s all that matters. The world is out there to tell you what you need to live a happy life, and only you can tell what will make you happy.

Even a lower paying job becomes great when you don’t have to waste your money of females, and the better paying job means your resources increase exponentially, and you get to keep more of them.

Feminism is a movement where opinions are presented as facts and emotions are presented as evidence.

[DutchieParticipant 119]

I wouldn’t want to be extremely rich but having enough money to empower other men would be a nice thing to have and do. I’m working on acquiring enough money to do just that 😉

If you don't understand my post at first, no worries, it's probably my English. 😉

A small collection of very rich men with an interest in change control the world.

A MGTOW is a man who is not a woman's bitch!

[hellraiderParticipant 2837]

Well, the whole concept of “rich” is highly subjective.

Even the poor in todays western world live a lot better than most people have lived for almost all of the history of mankind.

Besides, when a home, food and a little extra for luxuries are paid for, the return you get for spending money just drops off a lot.

Do you really need an expensive car (for atracting women)?
No.
An expensive house, rolex watch, etc?

When you realize that, you see society wants you to work into your grave to be able to buy stupid, worthless, overpriced crap.

And women are just stupid children, allways wanting more and more toys.

There is a satisfaction that comes with doing your absolute best at something.
The riches are only to be viewed as a side effect.
Many men might be happier in the long run by working on the side of too hard.

side note – vernacular update – NAWALT = not all whores are like that.
You’re right, not all whores are like that.
{this is based on the prior fact: all women are whores}

[BeerParticipant 11832]

I’ll work until I have enough saved to comfortably live a middle class life style off the interest. With that being said I’m sure the dollar figure in my bank account will qualify me as rich to a lot of people, but my life style wouldn’t be that of what you’d expect from a rich person.

Basically its my ultimate goal to save aggressively and save enough so I can retire early…its not my goal just to make a ton of money so I can buy expensive things.

Damn Hellraider this is like the 3rd comment of yours i wanted to upvote. But you’re already at 666, and for a guy named “Hellraider” it just seems so wrong to f~~~ that up.

Biographies of very wealthy men often see this out. The Carnegies and Vanderbilts and Buffets of the world never sought to get rich – they were insanely dedicated to what they did, they were fortunate to be in lucrative fields (basically, investing), and the $$$ came after that. Buffet, in particular, lives very frugally – he wears his father’s old suits and lives in his parents home.

For other men – myself included – i think it’s a matter that money buys options. The option to travel, or take your time looking for your next regular job, or retiring early, or donating $$$ to causes that are important to you.

I don’t want to work my ass off to make billions of dollars. I want enough so that i can spend my time volunteering teaching english & salsa dancing, and surfing and that kinda s~~~. I have no idea how something like that would happen if i had to deal with a wife/kids.

The more you have, the more you have to look after. Never wanted the rich lifestyle, but I would take the money as a safety net and keep living the way I have.

I don’t need alot and can live on very little.

Or with the way society is today, the more you have the more taxes you get to pay. I’d love to buy a house and a sports car, but haven’t done so yet because it’d cost me an extra 5,000 a year in taxes.

[hollowtipsParticipant 681]

I want to wealthy so that I can be free in life. F~~~ working 9-5, 5 days a week for the next 45-55 years. I’m not going to be a slave who builds someone elses dreams and if getting rich young is the easiest way to do it I’ll bust my ass to achieve it.

[The Moth Attracted to the FlameParticipant 2982]

Being rich is customary to me. I just want enough money to sustain myself.

But I’ll aim at doing more than that to be sure.
