My parents are very very wealthy but I don't want anything from them. I joined the army at 18 and went to airborne school, went to Uni got a political science degree, now work as a mercenary. I like the fact I made it on my own.

So your like you're lower middle class by 1st world standards?

>>81573865 (OP)
Imagine if you were peak failson and your CIA dad set you up with some kind of astroturrfed jewtube channel to push the gayest most establishment politics possible while pretending to be a working class rebel and you made like 10x+ that.

Imagine being so envious of the rich they live in your head rent free.

>>81573927
Middle class in the first world is like being a grocery bagger in ye olde boomer days. The first world has no middle class anymore. Just those who hated the shit out of their children and those with generational wealth. I am mad about it. There is absolutely no fucking reason why I should have to work when both sides of my family fought in the civil war. How does someone fuck up that bad generation after generation in what was during their time the most prosperous nation in the world? Malice is the only answer that even comes close to making sense.

>parents payed for my shit
>made it on my own

>>81573954
It's not envy, I just see through the just world theory gibberish and the rationalizations made for why these people somehow deserve their positions in life.

>>81573957
My ancestors fought to keep the slaves, then got rich off black labor (share croppers) and now we are rich and blacks are poor. Really makes you think.

>no debt because parents paid for my higher education and my fuckups.
>work comfy STEM office job, pays above average.
>live with my parents rent-free, 80% of my wage is saved and placed in bank deposits and safe investments. The investments generate me one extra wage per year and that'll only go up as I amass more money.
>already have enough money to NEET for 7-8years if I wanted to, not considering my parents' wealth.
>parents have hundreds of thousands of Euros saved, which I will inherit when they die, along with at least one apartment, maybe 2-3.
>will probably retire in my early 40s after working less than 15yrs.
Apart from having a job, my life is great. I don't even care that I'm a wizard because I can realistically afford almost everything I want. I have no financial stress at all. I can't relate to almost everyone around me who worries about mortgage, rent, gas prices, food prices and other stuff while I've just bought myself an RX 9070XT and a 1440p monitor. I feel like I'm in my own bubble.

>>81573865 (OP)
My family is old money, wealthier than everyone in this thread combined, times over. So, my life is bretty gud

I have a degree in physics and I'm an infantilized neet mooch in my 30s who can barely drive on the highway, let alone keep my home clean. my parents bought me a condo and they still make me come over twice a week to do chores. it's an insane life, and yes I am an only child.

I've had neverending struggles with depression and lack of agency but I might actually be turning the corner on it finally (for real this time). I have a 140+ IQ and anywhere from zero to two past sexual partners depending on what counts as sex. projected inheritance is such that I'll probably never have to work if I don't want to, but not so much that I can completely relax about the possibility. and I probably could've been a world-class musician if I'd applied myself and I almost am one even now.

>>81573865 (OP)
If you're rich can you buy me an OLED monitor? Pretty please, I'm a lonely 18 year old man not some neckbeard or some e-girl. Also, don't expect anything in return, please.

does being a rich neet in politically tumultuous times make you fear the revolution? I don't have any hard skills or a network and would be completely fucked if my wealth were redistributed. it's rather motivating to think about frankly; seems to spur self-improvement and whet my appetite for adversity.

>>81574274
All the truly wealthy people I know have oil rights which they lease and then tons of scattered timber which they pay to have managed, then pasture and sneedbean land they lease to farmers. Stocks crashing would no doubt hurt but they have enough land and physical stuff that they would still be better off than the 99%.
Really blows my mind though. Acreage in the triple or even quadruple digit range. But they get a business management, lawyer, or medical degree and live like a cuck in the city/suburb. If I were born rich I would go to an agricultural university program and larp my ass off on a hobby farm. I might at best break even, but what a life. Breeding animals, culling, thinning, literally terraforming. Even if all you do is conservation with occasional selective timber harvest it's still seen as a noble way of living even though conservation is just clearcutting a few micro prairies and seeding with rye. Put up a feeder and it's comfy hunting. Coffee and bourbon, up in a stand, small heater, ebook, just wait for something to walk into the shooting gallery. People will actually pay you for this too if you have a couple cabins and build a sense of mystique around it, exclusive hunting club. If nothing else it's useful just because you can make friends with the upper strata of your local area.
The amount of people I know who go a whole season not even killing one animal makes me suspect conservation is actually totally optional. If you go all season never once shooting that meant you were just drinking, riding four wheelers, and sitting by the fireplace talking shit with your bros the whole time.

I'm about to be a rich heir. Do richfags have any advice?

>>81573865 (OP)
oh damn she looks like my mom in her twenties

>>81573865 (OP)

you HAVE to be a troll, but I'm drunk so I'll bite and I'm not a rich nigga

40/m
master's degree in social science (i know, i know) failed phd student turned retail worker turned low level office worker turned data al analyst.

live frugally cause I really don't need much space for myself. I would like a wife and kids one day, and I'd spend my savings on a nice home then.

Idk, that's my like

>>81573865 (OP)

yup/ no why girl like that would entertain us.

damn trolls,,,

>always knew there was a family trust but figured it was being used up
>mom has very real talk with me last month due to grandma's health issues
>basically the trust is millions of dollars and it's gonna go to me when my grandma dies along with her house which is worth another couple million
>if something happens to mom it's gonna be another few million
I honestly doubt I've even made $200k total in my life. I was sleeping on floors and eating peanut butter and beer for breakfast from 2011 to 2023.
God bless my great grandparents for being better than me.

>9070XT
>1440p monitor
Why? Do yourself a favor and get a 5K monitor.

>>81575150
I considered 4K but honestly even a 9070XT is not that good at 4K once you crank up everything, RT included. I don't want to have to buy another GPU in less than 3yrs, so 1440p was the sweet spot for me. Better than 1080p but not too hard for my GPU to push for the next 4yrs.

huh, cool you got the passive income thing, im in the same boat but i make minimum wage and basically either need my folks to pay my rent to live alone or just live with them. i choose to just live with them. the privacy is nice but i dont actually use it.

no idea what my folks are worth tho. millions? i only know one single number, that something like 15 years ago they made a transaction that was over 15 million dollars. thats it. so whatever their worth is, it was atleast at one point, that. ive never asked.

>>81574173
lmfao ig I am old money too but no one outside of my school or who knew my school would ever guess it, my senpai likes to be too discrete for my taste.

>>81574816
And are you going to shape up now or are you going to squander a once in a lifetime chance that most here and in the world would kill for?

>>81575517
absolutely squander it. im planning to use some of it to do some expensive shitposting here. gonna hire some fit chad to pose as a poster here and type some heinous shit. reminds me, i gotta make a list. need to find all the extremely divisive shit that people argue about here all the time.

lame example, but im thinking scenarios where like
>anon has terrible opinion (tattoos look good on women)
>claims everyone that dislikes tattooed women are ugly and brown
>when called out, call up my "chadwriter", and he opens the appropriate thread, writes on his arm a post number, and takes a selfie so it looks like some greek god chad of a man is infact, the person making said post
im thinking i can get some serious fuckin mileage out of this

>>81575517
Already been shaping up for the past 2 years. I don't think I know how to squander that much money. 'Splurging' for me is a $200 grocery run, I don't want fancy cars or wasteful shit. Probably gonna get a small condo and invest.
