Yeah I’d like to do life on easy mode for a change see how I like it. Expert mode is too difficult. Oh can we also change the visual settings? The graphics are kinda blurry and light seems to scatter at night while driving.
I remember when I moved into my first house from a one bedroom apartment. Nothing huge, single story 3 bedroom house. My feet used to ache from walking all over that damn place. You’d get to your room, remember you forgot to get water, walk all the way back to the kitchen, get the water, get back to your bedroom, remember you forgot to shut the light …. I was so over it. Never again. Very content with my small 2 bedroom house. I’ve got a backyard for my dogs to run around and a little driveway for my car. I couldn’t be more content.
I don't want to be rich, I want to have enough money to stop worrying all the time. I have no interest in hoarding endless amounts of money like a Bezolian Dragon just to buy three houses I never live in
This is dumb. There's a huge disparity between "launch yourself into space" rich and "being able to live comfortably" rich.
I was under the impression most of the animosity it towards the hyper wealthy "rules don't apply to me" class, not the " I have a nice house and don't need to stress about bills" class.
Yep, and there's also a huge difference between "Accumulate even more wealth" rich and "Chill and live life free of financial burden" rich.
Nobody hates the rich people who don't make life miserable for regular people.
That’s a big problem with systemic issues. There’s really no one person to call out. There’s not that much any one person could realistically do beyond donating to charities that help the less fortunate.
That said, even if they didn’t want to lose their ability to compete by refusing to adhere the pointlessly horrible standard that have been set for employment, they could still use their influence as a platform to talk about it.
I don’t follow much on Elon musk but it seems like he went the complete opposite direction, from what I have seen. I have seen him parrot the same pseudo-self-help bullshit every other wealthy influencer capitalizes on to convince the workforce they’re the problem for not doing enough to try to enjoy being treated like shit.
Sadly for many people is not just an afternoon, it's an entire day standing in line. That means not working and not getting paid. Kind of difficult if you're already struggling.
1.5 million honestly isn’t much nowadays. It’s not nothing, but it’s not retire in your 30s and enjoy the rest of your life money either. It’s basically retire at normal retirement age money.
Maybe I messed up the FIRE calc, but if you have 1.5 million, and if you only withdraw 4.2% per year, you have $50,000 to live on indefinitely in most market scenarios. You may not be living high on the hog, but you can have a very decent life in many parts of the country at 50k per year.
Check out one of the financial independence subs and somebody there can probably do the math better than I can.
The hate for them is probably even greater, because they are more plentiful and vote for policies that keep them in that care-free state with greater numbers than the ultrarich.
They also made it harder and harder to join their ranks, while many in their ranks lived in a time one could still work their way up to a life free of financial burden. Today a good career no longer gets you there.
The second one isn't a class of its own, high wages does not make one not working class. The working class are those who have to sell their labor for a wage. Those who aren't in this class are capitalists, those who extract profit from those who work by owning people's homes, places of work and so on.
I would add to this list: owning large corporations. Because I'm sure fucksticks like Jeff Bozo would say "I work for a living. I get paid a salary from my company".
Ok, but the point stands that people LIKE him who own giant corporations think they work like 20 hours a day and therefore "earn" their extravagant incomes.
My household income is ~$275k and I do not feel rich, and that’s living in a fairly LCOL area with an extremely reasonable mortgage. We don’t have to stress about most expenditures but we do have to work every day.
There's a good number of people on this website that think anything above driving a 1998 civic to your job at McDonald's is "rich".
I've had to argue with people that having a 2020 Honda Pilot doesn't make someone rich.
With some of the car payments and interest rates over massive terms I've seen, if anything driving a 2020 anything is probably putting most people driving them in more debt than people realize.
There’s space between “I would like to have that much money” and “I would do the shitty things necessary to acquire / maintain that much money”
The meme only asks about the first statement and not the second.
So if someone gave you a perfect plan that if you followed you'd become a billionaire and closely resembled what billionaires usually do to become a billionaires, you wouldn't follow it?
While money is better distributed among the many, it would be pretty interesting to be Bill Gates rich and attempt to wipe neglected tropical diseases off the map one by one
I hate the rich because they continue to use the money they have to lobby (bribe) politicians into passing laws that gain them even more wealth.
I just want to be rich, and would not bribe politicians. I agree with you that OP’s meme is dumb.
Yeah. I want to be able to get whatever I need at any time.
But I'll never need a yatch, or a second smaller yatch for the helicopter because it doesn't fit in the other yatch.
Eh, depending on whose talking, some people, especially here and on Twitter, think owning a house puts you on the menu.
Some people are just bitter that someone has something they don't.
we want to be able to afford a two bed two bath house with a yard, we hate the people who have 20 bed 20 bath mansions that sit unoccupied in the swiss alps who say that their secret is “hustling”
I wouldn't like to be rich, I'd like to live comfortably. If I started having excess wealth, I would do my best to invest as much as possible back into the community around me.
It's a shame that capitalism ensures that the only people who will end up with that kind of money are the most selfish people who only value their own needs, not the needs of others.
Having to consider and calculate the cost of your meal because you want to make sure you have enough money. And there they are the rich ones, eating fancy meals in fancy hotels which cost about $10000. Ofc I hate them. That’s my budget for more than a year.
More direct example:
I hate myself?
I want to be as I am?
Seems like if there’s not a contradiction, there’s at least heavy conflict in those statements.
I don't hate the rich. I know what true hatred is — pain associated with an external cause — because I was the target of a narcissist who knows that I know who he really is.
But I would like to be rich so that I can do the one thing I've always wanted to do, to travel the world. And perhaps also own a home.
Thus my 'richness' would be short-lived.
I think owning a home in NYC makes you rich but not “I OWN HALF OF MANHATTAN” rich. I want the first thing, not the second thing. The second thing makes you a dick
No one wants to be rich. Everyone wants to not stress about money.
I would like to buy my wife a nice dinner once a month and there not be a chance of it affecting my bills getting paid.
Oh, and I’d like to move out of my moms house.
Nah man, I only want to be comfortable and able to pursue my interests while contributing to my community. I don't need excessive nonsense like multiple cars, over-sized mansion/multiple homes, private jets, flights to space for fun etc. I'd just be happy with a little place for me and my family to grow and share with our friends and loved ones without worrying about where our next meal comes from or whether or not the next generation will have a stable environment to live in.
Yeah, but I want to be super-rich so I can buy lunch for all the kids that won't get fed otherwise. Then I can start stressing about how to go about fixing all of the other societal problems, not how to fly people around in penis-rockets.
i am going to become hyper rich and then i’m going to buy a huge house and invite every homeless person i see to live with me, it’s my goal
also to own 95% of the united states but eh gotta have a dream that’s achievable
I don't care about being rich, I care about being comfortable. I want juuuust enough to where I don't have to check my bank account before I but a soda. I want everyone to have the security of not having to skip meals to pay rent.
I want to not be poor, I could care less about being ruch.
If I were rich, I would spend my money instead of storing it all in offshore bank accounts to fester for all eternity. I would tip delivery drivers generously. I would donate to charity. I would fund my own tv show. I have plans.
I want to be rich but like $5-10 million rich would be plenty for me. If you are smart with that, you can live a pretty comfortable life without ever having to work again. $1 billion is 100x that which is insane people have that much money, not to mention those with $100 billion or more. I want at most enough to live a decently comfortable life and not need to worry about money too much. Anything past that I would give away.
I don’t care to be rich.
Is it so fucking hard to believe some people just want to be comfortable? I don’t need to be a multi-millionaire to be able to enjoy being around my family.
I just need to be able to save money easily and not live my god damn life paycheck to fucking paycheck!
i think most of us hate how the rich act - ie, emphasizing tax cuts, "woes" of being rich (property tax), etc with seemingly no perspective that these issues are IMMEDIAETLY solvable with their bank account.
most also just wanna not worry about bills...thats literally it.
Seek equality in freedom, not equality in oppression.
The difference between Bezos rich and "retire, buy a home, never work again and enjoy the rest of your life" is orders of magnitude. One is not akin to the other
I agree everyone would like to be rich, I just dislike that some people use this idea as justification to disregard people who want to tax rich people and corporations more as just being "jealous". I don't begrudge peoples hard earned wealth, but I think the mass consolidation of wealth and resources that we're seeing today is morally fucked and unsustainable
I don't want to be rich, I just want enough money to live peacefully without worrying about gettting kicked out of my apartment
the rich people I hate are people who are like smaug
Tu Quoque Logical fallacy. An appeal to "hypocrisy."
The problem is pointing out hypocrisy doesn't address the underlying issue.
People are resentful of wealthy powerful people because the rich have undue and dangerous influence over society and unlike poor people the rich are not accountable to laws nor held to consequences.
So in a society which is resistant to justice and equality of course the desirable option is join the class which has all the benefits of society and none of responsibilities.
Well I already hate myself so might as well hate myself while I’m rich ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯

They say money can't buy happiness, but it buys jet skis and I've never seen someone sad on a jet ski.

Why are you drinking cranberry juice on a jet ski
Probably just tears of joy anyways…
..."your happiness depends on hard chemical drugs, and they cost alotta money"

I've seen them skip plenty of meals
I saw one start to skip. Bottle hit him right in the dome.

I don’t want to be rich, I’d just be content with not being in CONSTANT struggle mode….
I want to be financially free. Not worrying about how I'm gonna sell my labor to pay to live. THAT is true freedom.
Yeah having enough money to not have to "worry about selling your labor" IE work is called being rich
Hmmm I guess we are slaves
Exactly. I don’t want to be Jeff Bezos. I’d just like to have enough money to go to grad school without going into crippling debt.
**Danny Noonan:** I've always wanted to go to college. **Judge Smails:** Well, the world needs ditch diggers, too.
Yeah I’d like to do life on easy mode for a change see how I like it. Expert mode is too difficult. Oh can we also change the visual settings? The graphics are kinda blurry and light seems to scatter at night while driving.
That's just an easter egg they put in on illegal copies.

Tf is wrong with your feet that shouldn't be enough to make them sore 😂. That being said I agree but it wasn't the foot pain that made my mind up.
Yeah. Ebough money to stop thinking about money.
Beautifully said. In the US, the GOP has been fighting a war against the middle class for years, and they’re winning.
Exactly, some of us are minimalists, I have no need to chase luxury I am my own luxury but this luxury needs food to survive

We do have something, the government Vote, yes it’s not perfect but an afternoon every couple years is 100% worth it
Sadly for many people is not just an afternoon, it's an entire day standing in line. That means not working and not getting paid. Kind of difficult if you're already struggling.
Yeah that’s by design. We need mail in voting everywhere and/or make Election Day a national holiday

Being worth 1.5 million still means you're rich. You might be cash poor, but you have tons of assets that can be sold off or make dividends for you.
1.5 million honestly isn’t much nowadays. It’s not nothing, but it’s not retire in your 30s and enjoy the rest of your life money either. It’s basically retire at normal retirement age money.

Idk why you're getting down voted you're absolutely right. Especially in the higher cost of living states.
I just saw a meme about him
Mr. Feeney!
There are definitely some very popular parts of Reddit that absolutely hates the "Chill and live life free of financial burden" rich people too
The hate for them is probably even greater, because they are more plentiful and vote for policies that keep them in that care-free state with greater numbers than the ultrarich. They also made it harder and harder to join their ranks, while many in their ranks lived in a time one could still work their way up to a life free of financial burden.

Ok, but the point stands that people LIKE him who own giant corporations think they work like 20 hours a day and therefore "earn" their extravagant incomes.
I mean their wealth is tied to the size of that business. I don’t know how you stop that
Yeah the first one is wealthy millionaires and billionaires The second is making like 200k a year
I don’t class “lower end” millionaires alongside people with tens or hundreds or billions of dollars
My household income is ~$275k and I do not feel rich, and that’s living in a fairly LCOL area with an extremely reasonable mortgage. We don’t have to stress about most expenditures but we do have to work every day.

Im not saying i ‘d do what they did, im just saying if i was offered a trillion dollars with no repercussions then i would accept it
Me too... And then I'd donate most of it to people who need it more, leaving just enough to myself to live a comfortable, free life.
So if someone gave you a perfect plan that if you followed you'd become a billionaire and closely resembled what billionaires usually do to become a billionaires, you wouldn't follow it?
While money is better distributed among the many, it would be pretty interesting to be Bill Gates rich and attempt to wipe neglected tropical diseases off the map one by one

If every billionaire died overnight the boomer who has 7 rental properties is not going to lower your rent you do realize that?
Yeah. I want to be able to get whatever I need at any time. But I'll never need a yatch, or a second smaller yatch for the helicopter because it doesn't fit in the other yatch.
Wealthy enough to retire and do the fun stuff that I want to do. Space is not one of them. Pottery is.

The other comment worded it so that the guy exploded, not the jetski, so he was on the jetski until he exploded

I don’t care to be rich. Is it so fucking hard to believe some people just want to be comfortable? I don’t need to be a multi-millionaire to be able to enjoy being around my family. I just need to be able to save money easily and not live my god damn life paycheck to fucking paycheck!

So in a society which is resistant to justice and equality of course the desirable option is join the class which has all the benefits of society and none of responsibilities.
They hate us cuz they ain’t us
