>>20891924if someone wants to make money good for them. if people can't retire i sympathise, but that's the case for almost everyone. from up here i genuinely don't see a 70 year old guy or a kid working a shit job any differently to someone working a job where they don't even earn enough to outright own one nice home by 40, let alone retire early.
i retired at 32 and am very comfortable, but i'd never work in an office again, sometimes I think about how nice it be to have a partime postman "mailman" job just walking and stuff, i even like walking in the rain.
it's damaging mindstate to think in terms of status and so on, i never thought in those terms and no successful individuals who could hold it down did. think in terms of that you want to obtain something.
there's this subversive attack on what's called casually referred to as "materialism" (nothing to do with actual Materialism), and losers tend to cope and kid themselves by thinking they're about something more. these are the sort of losers who do introspection and believe that they need to think a certain way in order to feel a certain way, instead of reality that feelings follow actions. True 'Higher Meaning' and so on is found through pursuing the staight forward.
not a fan of Zizek, but it's what he's talking about on kinder eggs
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zHnJWN8YEA very true, can't overstate significance of it. if you pursue some supposed higher thing you will find nothing, it's a degenerate infantile notion, it's lying to yourself about your desires, and then you're unconsciously controlled by desires, and that destroys you.
embrace desires and consciously desire then you won't be enslaved; embrace nature itself. to have a good relationship with your desire is freedom; money is nice and you want money, fuck the bs i want cash, then you gain the true treasure too which the retard bullshitted himself he was about and ends up with nothing.
$20k is nice money, get paper and invest, why not?
