Is this the biggest poorfag cope ever?
I'm poor and miserable as fuck, and I wish I was rich everyday

Richfags find something else to be depressed about, grass is always greener

See, this is an actual psyop. Making poor people think they are just as well off.
Retarded idea, of course.

>>514222117 (OP)
If all you've ever suffered could genuinely be solved with money you haven't known real suffering at all.
Rich people know this, poorfags can cling to the idea of money's magic being able to solve their problems.

>>514222117 (OP)
I told my uncle I'm broke as fuck, basically all I earn goes to rent and bills, and he tell me "The Pope talked about the joys of the poor" which didn't help but I guess he felt it did.

The government noticed I don't give a shit about improving myself or saving money and they don't know what they're gonna do with me

>>514222195
>Richfags find something else to be depressed about
Literall how? Is it the ones who are ugly?
They can just get surgery or easily get a wife from some third world shithole. Poorfags dont have that option.

Money cant buy happiness
It can get rid of external problems
Yea you will be better off with money than without it thats pretty much undeniable but it will never fill that hole in your soul.

Money can buy you out of misery
But it cant buy you any happiness.

Being depressed with money isnt being happy even if it is better than being depressed without money.

>>514222117 (OP)
This is genuinely poor cope. I’ve been both poor, and now financially stable. Let me assure you I’m more happy now then when I had to second guess every single purchase I made. When I had to go into overdraft to buy groceries. When I had to steal toilet paper from public washrooms. Financial independence is the next goal, and I’ll be even happier then knowing I can tell any employer to go fuck themselves. People confuse wealth with materialism, which is brownoid logic. Wealth is freedom, and freedom is happiness.

>>514222368
Ever tried buying back the dead? Lost health?
All you can buy are illusions and often futile attempts.
Not beibg able to afford to at least preserves the idea that maybe there might have been a way in which it could have been better. Riches kill that illusion.

Yes and no; it can be some kind of mental gymnastics slave morality cope, but it can also be a valid statement

You need enough money for food and shelter etc... not live in utter squalor. However some people are so fucked up that they'll still be fucked up even with billionaire parents.

>>514222117 (OP)
I'm poor and very happy. You are unhappy because you hate yourself. No one and no money can help you with that.
Most rich cunts are psychopaths. They view everything and everyone around them as a $ value and nothing more. At the end they will be alone with vultures around them waiting to pick over the corpse for a dime. Do you want that life?

>>514222117 (OP)
The term money can't buy happiness had to have been something like making 30% more than everyone else; 95% of peoples problems would go away with enough money.
>>514222311
Fuck off, everyone has struggles but a financial safety net makes everything 10x easier.
Richfags larp that their life is so hard because they have to do what everyone else does.

The richest usually say that though, so Mammon likes mammaries.

I made 500k a year for 3 years and it was the worst time of my entire life by a massive margin

Now I make $175k and I’m the happiest I’ve ever been.

Money can 100% buy happiness. Anyone who says otherwise is lying to you in order to demoralize you and eliminate you as competition from the rat race that is modern society.

If you play a video game do you cheat to give yourself infinite money? No, because then the game is boring and there's no challenge. As long as you have a decent quality of life, you'll be fine.

You know what wealthy people mostly buy? Vanity, purely vanity. If you care about that you're a weak person. The opinions of others should not matter to you at all.

>>514222117 (OP)
Money allows more relaxation.
Relaxation does not auto trigger happiness.

However, your ability to have happiness is correlated with amount of relaxation time.

If you are always working, you can't relax.
If a happy event happens, but you are not relaxed, you won't be perceptive to the happiness increase.

"Wealth consists not in having great possessions, but in having few wants." (Epictetus)

Much of his philosophy is encouraging the reader to realize that much of what causes anxiety actually lies outside of our own ability to affect it. And that obsessing about things that are out of our control is a recipe for torment.

money alone isn't enough but security and wellbeing are a prerequisite.

What do you define as "decent"?

It can’t bro. The most miserable I’ve ever been in my life is when I made a gigantic pay day and effectively retired at 29 years old. Money alleviates some problems and brings others.

The thing I don't understand is why people (some / many / most) simply hoard money or buy things like status symbols, and feel okay with doing that knowing others are struggling often through no fault of their own, like kids etc. Maybe I've just not shaken off childish or naive ideas about this kind of thing, but really beyond a certain level I think I would feel uncomfortable internally about spending large amounts of money on things I don't really need or care about when that money could change the life of others. Granted, I'm not in a position to be very generous, which I guess undermines my point to some extent.

>>514222356
Because rich people can still be lonely, have a hard time finding true connection, get rejected by people they respect and care about, experience death and loss, lack of purpose, etc.
Getting surgery and a third world wife doesn't sound appealing to someone who desires a true connection and a partner they can relate to.

Being rich doesn't buy happiness. But being poor makes everything worse. You just need to be financially safe.

If even Satan warning you against making the most common mistake that is asked of him can't get through to you then that is on you. ^^

Money doesn't buy happiness but it helps you. Even if I was a billionaire it would still suck to have a family member die. On the other hand you can't be happy if you can't afford to feed yourself

>>514222672
When I graduated from college, I started off my career as an investment banking analyst at one of the boutique firms so I was making anywhere from $140k as a first year to like $300k before my analyst stint was over and I was spending it in a low cost of living area. So I had a lot of money but I was miserable because all I did was work all the time. I literally had no life at all. So I quit and ended up jumping to an even more transactional job that was definitely more stressful but afforded me more time and WAY more money so I was a little happier. Still, I was pretty fucking unhappy so I laid out this plan to make one giant payday over the next 3 years that would let me effectively retire at 29. My plan was to quit, just kind of relax for a while, and then eventually get like a sinecure job or do some passion thing for something to do but I ended up spending about a year after I quit doing basically nothing. I thought the rest and relaxation would make me happy but I’ve never been more miserable in my entire life and I literally grew up poor sleeping in a basement without carpet or heat. Aimlessness and boredom does a number on our brains and the notion that you have the means to do whatever you want only makes it worse. I had a real existential crisis and I started to feel like I had made irredeemable mistakes with my life that could never be overcome and that was a special type of mental hell.

>>514222117 (OP)
It's not a poorfag cope it's a false narrative. Nobody ever said that money was supposed to buy happiness. Also "happiness" is nothing more than a temporary emotional state and is given far too much value.

at 38 and few mln $ i have more money i will ever spend.
im single, dont work and drive an old car and have 0 motivation to do anything in life. I just dont want anything. Some days im happy the way my life is becasue it could be worse. The next day im depressed and dont get up from bed nad thinking about kms
I kinda wish i was poorer but have a drive to do things

>>514223586
Rich people have miserable lives too, that's my point. Once people can pay their bills, extra money is an endless game of social comparison.

>>514223778
Give me all of your money and see if you change your mind. I'll hodl it for you for a year, and if you decide that you want it back I'll give you 90% of it. Deal?

>>514223590
Your warning is hollow, you don't explain -why-
Assuming that you are wealthy, all of your problems are either self inflicted or experienced by the average person.

By having great wealth you don't experience half of what someone without experiences. Keep coping that you're actually disadvantaged, fag ^.^

>>514223778
Happiness is a false goal. What men truly crave more than anything, and frankly one of the only two things that make life worth living, is purpose. Having a craft, a passion, a pursuit, a goal, a vocation, this is the only thing that gets you up in the morning. The tendency people have when they get rich is to stop, to relax. Their life actually gets worse because whereas before they didn’t get to choose a purpose, they still had one: to make money. Once you have it, you don’t have anything but the money.

Whoever said this didn't know where to shop.

>>514222117 (OP)
no, not really. i think that a close to infinite amount of money could get you close, like say, elon, but outside of that, money doesn't really buy happiness. it is nice not having to worry about making bills, but that's about the only difference it makes

>>514222117 (OP)
It's a balance. Being extremely poor is stressful but after your first million dollars another million dollars just doesn't doo much. You see these billionaires looking for even more money but never being satisfied.

If you want to maximize happiness then the best option is to spread out the wealth just enough that nobody is stressing over money and nobody is considering a third private plane.

Money can buy a person some temporary excitement. It cannot buy one happiness. I’m not wealthy myself, but I’m related to plenty who are. The huge majority of them are old, miserable as fuck, and off their rocker a good deal. Only a fool thinks participation in the jew rat race will bring him anything but misery and emptiness in the end.

Money won’t buy you love, sexual and romantic success or good friendship

The things rich people get depressed about is nothing like having to worry about the bank taking your house or where your food is going to come from since your EBT application was denied for the 4th time in a row for being white.

No, rich people CAN have miserable lives.
>once people pay their bills
That's the point. Worrying about bills and eviction and getting your power turned off is way worse than any rich person problem.
Yes you can be happy as a poorfag too by just not giving a fuck, like the niggers, but exemptions make the rule. Life is better with money.

Money can buy you confort.

By the way, the real problems with getting rich are 1) it takes too long and 2) you have to become a sort of person to do it and then that sort of person has a hard time using their wealth for something worthwhile. This is why guys like Zuckerberg and Musk never cash out and do something actually worthwhile with their lives.

>>514224379

Get a hobby. I work on my motorcycles, go fishing and do home improvement. I feel absolutely content. I only have 60k in the bank so I'l have to get a job again soon, but my house is paid for. It's such a great feeling, the security that money brings.

It's simple, having your needs met.

Having access to recreational drugs such as stimulants/THC and also having a diverse set of entertainment like a Plex server with 100tbs of movies and tv shows plus some of your favourite OF/Porn whores. As well, a modded game console with every game ever on it is nice. If you're a sex haver then having a loving wife is also a must. Lastly some nice food and a quiet place to stay. That's it. It's achievable.

>>514224330
It isn’t incorrect though. A poor man can have a meager meal cooked by his loving wife, with his children, and feel infinitely more joy and contentment than a rich man eating some shit put together by a servant, while he eats alone.

>>514222117 (OP)
No, but thing is rich people experience problems that truly cannot be solved with money (cause those which can are not problems for them) so this is kinda a survivor bias advice

>>514222117 (OP)
Money can reduce stress and buy you some short-time joy but it cant buy you true happiness. This is fact.
Anyone who thinks otherwise is a low-leveled fucking idiot.
And I am poor. But I am richer than most of you due to other things , like love and genuine connections.
You can only eat until your full. Everything after that is worthless.

>>514224048

>>514224601
You’re talking about being content with the resources you have access to, not being wealthy. Those are two very different things. Of course having access to resources for basic needs in life brings a sense of comfort.

>>514224787
My attitude is that there are things which are truly worth doing in life and there are things which aren’t. Most people, sadly, will be born into lives where they won’t ever really even get a choice. They’re born into poverty or incapability and their lives will amount basically to work they don’t want to do until they die. A small minority of us will, either by good fortune or good decisions, escape this fate and will be free to do with our lives as we see fit. It would be a disservice to them to not try to give to them in some way by taking advantage of this. We are morally and ethically obligated to figure out what is worth doing with our lives and do it.

I think: "I don't care about money" is the biggest poorfag cope. Because it's always said after making an incredibly dumb financial decision and to try to convince you that they're not materialistic consoomers when they're the biggest ones, and most insecure retards in that regard.

>>514222409
At least you have privacy from the public at home. I live in an overcrowded gentrified island where privacy is only for the rich Englishmen or you mutts more recently. Try chickens, they helped me when I needed the most, with all your space imagine all them chimkens. Try and make use of what you have.

>>514226259
Yeah money and material gain is just the prison for the body and mind. True happiness comes from detaching from these things as they are the prison itself. True happiness is found beyond these hallow matters as you understand human connections and love is all that is worth anything.


Where attention goes - Energy flows. The Magic is in the Interest.

You dont need more than you need. Anything above that is worthless. True worth is to be found in human connection and in spiritual ascension.

when you are poor and depressed you think you are depressed because you are poor. then you get money and are still depressed and then realize you are just depressed. so you spend loads of money to try and feel better but it doesnt work and now you're more depressed, but with debt. then you have your normal depression + debt depression.

yeah it's cope.
i have just enough money to buy anything i want (within reason), so going out with friends, traveling, projects, etc are focused on the fun (no budgeting needed).
my friends and i just went to vegas a few months ago, one guy is barely scraping by so i paid his entire way including plane tickets, gambling, meals, etc. i didn't even notice a change in my accounts from doing so.
this trip was less than a month after i bought a house, and i just forked over $20k cash for a new deck on the house because i have a nice quiet backyard against trees with lightning bugs.
it'll take me probably a year to reshore that $20k unless i tighten my belt and live frugally/budgeted. but it's nice to be able to do it. the deck means a bigger incentive to have family/friend gatherings.

>>514222117 (OP)
It only applies to poor people that live together happily in slums
Brazilians, indians Filipinos are good with this mindset

But if you are alone no family to talk to and poor that's the worse thing if you are introverted.
Extroverts are happy if they are with another person even in misery

>>514226691
Yes this. When I was dirt poor and had nothing I dreamed of new phones and silly shit like that and my mom dies and I got some money and suddenly I didnt even had the need nor stamina to go the store to get them because when I finally could have those things I was dreaming about ...

So you have an issue with the type of comparison? Ok, we're men, if there are no challenges in our lives we get bored and depressed. Money can only buy happiness if you're a vain person or unless you're extremely impoverished person.

Do you really think vidya has no value or lessons to be learned from?

This, richfags also tend to think everyone is trying to screw them over, so they become bitter and isolated in their older years. Money can help you live in comfort, but the people with money take that for granted and find other things to get mad about.

>>514222117 (OP)
Oh it most certainly can. I was a sad little boy before I “made it”
It’s the freedom (and medical care/time)
When I was deep in the rat race I couldn’t find time to take care of myself and drank heavily. I self isolated, not going out or dating to save money.

I’d try to get to the gym or bike/ be healthy but innevitabally id have a rough day and fall back into the slob trap.

When I finally had that first big transfer, and saw all those digits, it was the greatest bliss even every drug I’ve ever tried couldn’t compare to. Even the best drugs you know will fade, but godamn man. Not many people can claim they were literally the happiest person on earth at some point in their life. But I know for a fact I was that day.

I still get the blues, sure. I see all the fucked up shit in the world or think about friends I’ve lost.
When my lizard died, who was there from the beginning, even when I was homeless in my car for a few months, I shut myself in for weeks. Genuine fucking grief.

But with money, you have the time and resources to snap yourself out of a funk. After the second week I decided I needed a change of scenery. I couldn’t be bothered to pack anything. Or even book a flight. I simply drove to the airport, looked at the next flights, swiped my card and got lifted away. Atlanta for some reason, I had never been.
Got there and rented a car, a nice hotel, shopped around, scrolled tinder, and had a wonderful night with a cute black chick. Woke up the next morning cured of grief.

I’m doing something similar right now. I’ve just had the blues for a few days, so am at the gate about to visit my sister and niece and posting on 4chan. Thanks for reading my blog. Pic related

Its very difficult to make friends when you are wealthy and others are jealous brokies plus I find most w*men are absolute gold digging whores and I would be forced to murder them if they ever tried to divorce rape me, its choice paralysis when I could do anything I have no direction. I want to get a job so I have some structure/obligations in my life maybe that will help. Blood related family is all that actually matters.

>>514227007
same thing for me. Your brain works differently if you have money.

It;s like in commie times in Bolan old people say they were happier. Why is that? Part of the reason was that if you went to buy something there usually were like 3 - 5 things to chose from and everyone wanted them. Easy life. Now they go to a store and there are a million TVs, million cars, million fridges and people just get confused and decide they will keep the stuff they have now

>>514222117 (OP)
what is there to buy? all you need is a phone and a laptop.

>>514222117 (OP)
I was equally miserable when I was rich. Money couldn't buy me women, and the only thing I only ever wanted was women. I wouldn't say I became happier after giving up on life, but I became much calmer and more serene.

I have a net worth of over $4 million. Three houses are paid for. The main house has a swimming pool and hot tub all in ground with a nice waterfall. My vacation home is in the mountains next to 12,000 foot ski area. Third home I bought for one of my sons and he is paying me back with 4% interest instead of 7%.

Money certainly makes things easier and relieves a lot of stress. However, if one is materialistic, they will never be internally happy. I still get pissed off. I rage at other drivers on the highway even though I have a new Tesla that automatically drives me to work. And I don’t even need to work anymore. I’m 59 and set. over 2 million in my 401(k) and other retirement accounts.

Made my money in Oil. I’ve been poor. I used to have to go to the cash store and take out payday loans 20 years ago to help pay for family things. When I was first married, I had to sell my Gibson guitar and Ampeg & Peavey amplifiers to make ends meet.

Keep a positive attitude.

>>514227758
Yes! Its not about buying and consumerism shit it is about human and spiritual/emotional connections. That is what is important in life and really makes us feel and makes us happy... Fucking materialistic shit is just fucking worthless. Its nothing as soon as you get over the initial thrill. It can never replace the important stuff.

The true value of life was never about how much gold you could acquire, but how much love you gave and how much love you received. That , and how much you laughed along the way.

Nothing else.

>>514227223
If you lose your wallet with even just a few hundred in it, and you're making thousands in a month, you're still a careless retard. The biggest cope is that "it's only money" - it's not just about the money, it's about how you are careless and trying to rationalise it away.

If you can't master the little stuff, the basics, you have no hope in getting any further in life. No amount of larping about being able to make 200k in 6 months will help you either, it's just doubling down on more lies when your ego is bruised. You should feel embarassed for writing such shite but you're young and coping for your poor life choices, so I expect you to just double and triple down will giving out unsolicited financial advice, like every single poorfag I've met.

>>514222311
Yeah money can't literally solve all my problems, but you'd have to be the most pedantic nigger in the world to not understand that money can solve 80% of your problems, and go a long ass way to solving or at least alleviating that remaining 20%. If I won the lottery tomorrow I understand it would make me have had a happy childhood, an mother, or make me not stuck in a gay retard country, but it would mean I could retire immediately as opposed to my current retirement plan of waiting 30 years before I kill myself

you seem mad about it. why? Money comes and goes and people make mistakes which causes them to lose money. Why dwell on it? You lost money you move on = ergo you dont care about money.

I think it's *technically* true, for example I doubt that Elon Musk is happy. You can tell there's a void in his soul which he tries to fill with money, power, and fame. The same goes for most billionaires, which is why they feel compelled to hoard more and more wealth, long after they've reach the point where they've "made it".
But yeah, most people could be pretty content with maybe $2 million or so

I really just did it so I could say “THATS BREACH OF CONTRACT ILL FUCKING SUE YOUR ASS”

I mean more in that when you are deciding whether or not to spend money on a new toy or whatever think of it in terms of how it can enhance or facilitate meaningful interactions with other human beings.
Going out and buying an expensive car because money is retarded if it's going to cause significant strain. But if you're saying buying a project car because working on cars is a hobby and you'll meet other people on track day and have a good time- suddenly that's maybe a wise decision.
At some point you're going to be laying in a palliative care bed watching your last conscious moments tick away. You're not going to be thinking about how to get your yacht through the pearly gates. You're going to be thinking of all the time you had with other people.
Material acquisitions that contribute to that pool of memories are therefore beyond materialism.

Anyone intrinsically motivated can be made happy with money because money will give them the freedom and flexibility to pursue their hobbies and interests. Unfortunately the vast majority of people are lazy and even with unlimited money would continue to be. For them, money won't buy happiness.

The best argument that I can see is that because rich people aren't worried about basic necessities that can afford to have the time to worry about other more lofty things (satisfaction in life, fulfillment, etc.) The problem is that for this to hold you would have to say that having those kinds of rich people's problems is worse than the poor people problems. I think generally it is not true. There probably some hypothetical rich guy out there that is miserable because people only like and associate him for his money and try to take advantage of him all the time. That could be worse than a poor third worlder who struggles but otherwise has a family, friends, etc. But as a rule of thumb or in general? Nah the poor guy has it worse.

Their limiting factor is time. And because of that realization they treat time as a commodity and it ruins all relationships.

No, it's true.
Loads of rich people spend every weekend snorting coke and drinking in nightclubs until their boredom and misery makes them kill themselves.
They can drive a really fast car and it won't excite them because it doesn't fulfill them, or rather, doesn't fill the hole they have in their self.
That hole can have many causes. Some dude in full legitimate Armani attire can bang his tarted down woman after clubbing all he wants, she'll never give him the love his mother denied him.
And that love being denied him is only a problem for him because he keeps it that way, by indulging in substitution and distractions, one mixed drink and whore at a time.
He could plug that hole by accepting it and forgiving himself, and realising that the maternal love he required as a baby and small boy simply isn't required anymore.
Though really, it could be either parent being inaccessible for the child that fucked him up. His mom's not impressed with a very fast car and a very busty slut. Dad is.
Until one day they can't take it anymore and abandon their son, or vice versa the son goes his own way.
Then there are three options.
He keeps chugging and fucking and driving fast, and lives to the ripe old age where he'll regret everything for how absolutely worthless and hollow it all was.
He stops chugging and fucking and fixes his shit, and learns how to live a fulfilling life, money no object.
Or, he tells me to talk again when I've got two Bugattis, keeps partying like the fool he chooses to be, and dies young, a victim of his excesses and arrogant ignorance.

Happiness is a choice, not a product.

Does it say anywhere that poverty can buy happiness? Cause I don't think it does. But
it is true. A normal man can lead a simple happy life. You don't need a fortune for that.

Existence is shit no matter what you have. I know a lot of rich people and they're as fucked up and miserable as anyone. More so in a lot of cases. They just have money.

It takes exactly 0 dollars to walk out the door and never look back.

as cat bhudda said, " Do not chase the red dot, for it is an illusion "

Yes, there are millionaires on pol saying that they are socially isolated, hikikomori but rich as fuck, so they don't even feel any advantage of having that money because they generally feel like losers.
