I'm a average people who became rich people with Bitcoin. So now I'm just the top panel without the work.

I dont say this to brag, but to encourage other average peoples to become rich people too.

Invest in mentors, huh.

Definitely doesn't have a relevant detail in his bio.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

Also having been born into generational wealth and exploiting the finance system - that's the most famous rich-people-hobby.

I swear rich people have no actual interests

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

The ones that do are not spending their time posting sociopath bullshit on LinkedIn.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago

The actual bullshit message behind this:

A rich person is a good person and a smart person.

In posted this, so I am signaling to you that I am a good and smart person that will be rich if I’m not already.

Obviously the #1 life goal of all people is to be rich, so you should all be like me, and you should be ashamed when you take time to enjoy existence.

(Disclaimer: I’m not shitting on people who enjoy or find fulfillment in their job or their business)

It’s amazing how hourly workers brainwashed themselves into believing that they’re entrepreneurs.

They really believe the nonsense that bro podcasters sell them.

They’ll be 40 in an hourly retail position wondering where everything went wrong.

"So, do you have any hobbies?"

"Yep! I like job, invest in mentors, knowledge..."

[–] [email protected] 31 points 3 days ago (1 children)

A job is not a hobby. I feel that that shouldn't require explanation.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

Sometimes, hobby becomes job and stops being hobby :c

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago (2 children)

One must delete facebook and lawyer up before one can ascend to the realm of #4. Profit.

They forgot that the main criteria for ending up in the "rich" group is "be born rich".

What is this? Some pseudo-wisdom from a “life coach” or something?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Grindset life bs. It's extremely stupid, they all brag about not enjoying life like it's a terrible insult to everyone else.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago (1 children)

You don't need to be rich to go to a gym or increase your knowledge.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

...but you do need to be rich-enough to afford time not spent preparing for work, working, nor recovering from work...

Alternately, rich kids just pay off the carnival workers for the big prize without playing the game at all

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

Or mass deport them after living off their labor for decades

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago (2 children)

So I am middle class then. Man why does it still feel poor?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

there is only the working class and the owning class. those other classes were made up by the owning class, to divide the working class.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

you are working class. We all are.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Nowadays, there are really only two classes:

  • The Owners class, which is people who live off the money that's made by the assets they own.
  • The Worker class, which is people who live off the money they get from selling their work.

What was called "Middle Class" generally are just workers who earn a bit more, though the older Middle Class did at times manage to save enough to buy enough assets that they could start living of the income from those assets and not have to work anymore. That's not the case for young people nowadays who would qualify as Middle Class due to their level of formal education and the kind of work they do because it's way harder for them to save and asset prices are through the roof.

A job is not a hobby.

Average rich people hobbies: Cocaine, tax fraud, genocide

Burning fossil fuels, underage sex parties, over throwing democratically elected 3rd world governments.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (1 children)

Overthrowing 1st world countries as well

Job should be there too. When they get bored, they start doing someone else's job until they get bored. Like trump pretending to be a Mcdonald employee, or Elon pretending to be a CEO.

Serious question. What is "invest in mentors"? I can't figure this one out. Like you pay people to mentor you?

Entire bottom box should be “wait for trust fund”.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago

I made the comment that rent should be tax deductible, just like a mortgage, and some rise and grind boot licking doofus said "you can if you run a home business." First of all, do you need to run a home business in a home you own to write off your mortgage? No Secondly, not everyone in the country can run a home business. Imagine the chaos.

Oh come on, I doubt it's that large.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago

Wow, this is such bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 days ago (2 children)

I don't think this individual understands what a hobby is. Your job by definition is not a hobby.

Job is not my hobby, job is how I pay for my hobbies.

Also I wish learning got me rich. Unfortunately I don’t bother learning stuff that makes money. I am however shockingly educated on certain subcultural histories.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago

It's hilarious to me that, while the author is trying to own working-class people's poor choice of hobbies, what it actually does is show the immense privilege of people whose only hobbies are various forms of "self improvement".

[–] [email protected] 16 points 4 days ago (4 children)

Any rich person born after 1993 can't party. All they know is gym, invest in they mentors, not work, be knowledgeable, do business, and lie.
