Thread 60852748

my dad has worked hard his whole life and always pushed me to work hard. he didnt buy btc when i mentioned it a lot a long time ago, and he seems to have taken it badly that i stopped working a regular job. he's right i could work a job and earn 3-4% more money every year, but honestly it just seems not worth it.


in the last few years i talk to him rarely, and when we do talk he frames working hard as being a "good person". I mistakenly tried to push my increasingly nihilistic worldview that I cant change the world, all i can do is play the game, and so far it has been rewarding me for doing very little. I think he's never going to approve of the way im living unless im working hard. I think he wouldnt even care if were a janitor making shit money, he just wants me to toil.

im leaning more and more towards keeping communication with him and his side of the family at a minimum. We were never that close and Im not sure this relationship can be fixed. my dad is a literal lead-poisoned boomer and his company is just unpleasant. has anyone been in a similar situation?

He can tell you are a worthless degenerate suck on society and possibly even considering becoming a religious Jew.

I know you won't listen to advice, but here it is anyway. Your dad is wise. You will miss him when he's gone. You need to cure the nihilism by doing something valuable for your fellow man. It's not about the money, it's about the meaning of life. Do volunteer work. Maybe touch grass and try WWOOFing. Find a tradwife and raise a family.

My dad has Bitcoin and I'm a 9-5 no coiner

My dad is jealous of my silver stack and thinks I should work a regular job as well. He thinks that the only way to retire is to slave at a corporate or government job for 40 years and then collect a pension. I haven't had a 9-5 job in over a year and don't plan on ever working for a boss ever again.

Happiness is fleeting, doing nothing will leave you empty and looking back in regret.
Responsibility and family will give you fulfillness OP, and being fulfilled should really be your goal now.
It doesn't have to mean working a job, just doing something that provides value to someone or something.

Good.

I work for myself and my dad seems proud. He's always impressed at how I make money while I sleep. He spent 40 years waging as a mechanic and hated it, now he's a semi retired part time tard wrangler and takes autists to the movie theater and malls

It's not about the money. It's that you have no drive, no passion for anything, and are generally weak willed, give up easily, and never try hard. So what if you gamed the system and are making easy money with little effort, he doesn't care about that. Parents want to see their children to grow up to be successful not just financially but in life. You aren't doing anything. You merely exist. He sees someone who hasn't accomplished anything, hasn't earned respect from his community, and probably has no friends. He's not proud of you because you've done nothing to make him proud. He does love you; but he's not happy with your character.

Welcome to class differences. Those who work for money and those whose money works for them simply cannot relate on that subject.

You can still associate, you just can't be close about money. And if you both are making it an intrinsic part of your worldview about value as a person, you'll never LIKE each other. Do some thinking, maybe some reading, and try to understand that how you acquire money doesn't matter, it's what you do with it. Bond by scorning people who are wasteful with money and circlejerking about wise ways you both use your money (like, getting gifts for your mom or going on vacation or some shit).

Also having kids will take some of the heat off you from your parents.

I don't know your dad, but he seems wise and honorable. If you're so well off, please do yourself a favor and take some of the load off his back. This is how you honor him.

Not to mention, it could lead to you guys spending more time together. Enjoy it while you can.

>>60852748 (OP)
fuck your stupid faggot parents trying to turn you into a wagie. that's like rooting for your highly successful wealth building son to jump into a meat grinder. fucking insanity. stop doubting yourself OP.

Start a company with your money, better returns for your risk and you get to have your father not think you're a lazy BTC-fund NEET

Nihilism is for midwits who think they are smart.

Agree

Only if you surround yourself with people like OP's dad who will relentlessly bully you for enjoying life in ways they don't approve. Stay away from their crab bucket and you will find fulfillment in every cup of coffee every morning.

>>60852830
WWOOFing? is that some kind of furfag shit

>>60857280
yeah. lots of people are trying to shove "do x or you will be sad" down everyone's throat. well i'm not doing x, and i'm not sad.

>>60852893
>be stupid online incel
>talk about how great le jesus is and how you are a le christian warrior
>constantly denigrate people for "sounding poor"

>>60857329
truly happy people don't need to tell others on 4chan that they're not sad

Bruh, why don't you just pretend to have a job? It's not like he can check unless you tell him something stupid.

"hey son, are you still a bum?"
>Actually, I got a job at XYZ corporation, doing (something that requires you not to give a lot of details like cyber security or some shit)
"Oh and how's that?"
>It's a great company but they really work me hard. I'm putting in 60 hours a week most of the time

Then just don't answer any phone calls except around holidays, and even then just say you're too busy for whatever boomer shit he wants to do.

Your dad suffers from a common psychological disease known as slave morality. Very common among jesus freak boomers.
