Can someone give me one disadvantage of being rich rather than poor?

Being rich. It must have downsides.

Name one. I can't think of one apparently.

People pretending to be your friend when they really just want your money.

I'm pretty damn poor, but my parents are well off.
It sucked because when I was growing up people constantly assumed I have money just because my parents do. :rolleyes:

The most prevalent problem doesn't come from the money itself, its more the obsession in its acquisition and retention becomes so powerful it makes your life meaningless and hollow.. Coupled with the disappointment of trying to buy your way into happiness it digs people deeper.

More people try to get money from you by asking, stealing, or suing i would think. People with money don't learn to diy or fix stuff because they just pay for it. They don't know how to be resourceful when they fall on hard times and lose all that money.

Just like being overly poor gets you treated differently, being overly rich gets you treated differently. Both in a negative way.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way.
I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today.
Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear.
I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear.

Having an over abundance of money. Far more than you need to live a good life. You know the kind of person who can wreck a Ferrari and not even give a shit.

Construction? A monkey could do that. I propose to you that most jobs that anyone could do for a "rich" boss in that field if you were smart and dedicated enough after three years you could do for yourself i  mean a monkey could figure it out ffs. tht shit is about snowballn shit. you flip jobs thne u get dewds to filp jobs for you then you got a bigsnow ball to throw around but overall its a fucking joke to neone playn with serious money

Nah It can buy anything. I look at money as an object to get other objects. Why when a friend in need asks to borrow some sure man I got you. That's why I have a list of people 10 pages long that owe me money.

I dunno why it changes people but you lose friends over it. Fuck I've lost friends over 5 dollars. Are you serious? I don't even give a shit about the money it comes down to the principal. But if a homie doesn't have money for food I'll pay for it and not expect it back at all. I'm not going to eat in front of you when you have nothing.

We're all fucking broke especially now as the price of everything seems to keep going up but our wages don't.

If my backyard makes you think I'm rich as fuck than

1) Thank you. It's been built this week and I'm proud of it.
2) It's a typical small middle class deck with flower garden. Nothing you see in my backyard in top of the line. The BBQ is X years old, it came with the house, it's rusty as fuck, it spent maybe 10 years uncovered during the winter. But it still works. The table and chair. Same thing. I just maintain well so I get to keep them longer.

Digging that lower step into my backyard was a bitch. We sholveled it by hand.  We also sholveld 10 cubic yard of top soil with 1 shovel one wheelbarrows one rake. Amazingly, it was not as hard as I thought it would be

Good for you. Very charitable. Not everyone would do that.

Also, paying with these stamps seems very degrading. People see the cards and immediately see that you're poor, you live off the government and that you might be buying a bigger steak than the guy behind you. It seems to me like a privacy issue. Is it not?

right, but plumbing(leak detection and occasionally repair) is how the franchises make money.  It's true that he doesn't have to kneel in a ditch much anymore, but running a plumbing business counts as plumbing in my book(it's his license number that his employees are working under)

If my backyard makes you think I'm rich as fuck than

1) Thank you. It's been built this week and I'm proud of it.
2) It's a typical small middle class deck with flower garden. Nothing you see in my backyard in top of the line. The BBQ is X years old, it came with the house, it's rusty as fuck, it spent maybe 10 years uncovered during the winter. But it still works. The table and chair. Same thing. I just maintain well so I get to keep them longer.

Digging that lower step into my backyard was a bitch. We sholveled it by hand.  We also sholveld 10 cubic yard of top soil with 1 shovel one wheelbarrows one rake. Amazingly, it was not as hard as I thought it would be



how do you think rich ppls bck yards are made by magic or summin?

If I can buy the lady in front of me cereal and milk that cost me 7 dollars when I'm broke as shit myself. Your telling me billion dollar companies can't help. I get business but you know when is enough money? It's all just a number? When is enough.

I'm happy with a warm place to sleep and food in my belly. Other than that I could care less. I work hard and the money who cares.

@patlal it isn't degrading. literally everyone here in washington has a food stamp card. Fuck I got one every dollar helps when i'm trying to feed myself to go to work. Pay rent. And have a little money to actually go have fun. Damn straight imma get that shit I already pay usually about 150 in taxes every 2 weeks. There robbing us. the cost of everything is going up but we don't get paid more. It's sad.

200 but it's about to go down. Now that i'm working and have my own apartment i'm sure it will go down to nothing so i'm broke all the time. Barely able to feed myself and I make about 1400 a month. Or just tell them your homeless. :shrug:

It's stupid. As i'm paying into it anyway through taxes. Lord forbid I can actually take a pretty girl out to do something. :rolleyes:

I think the only "disadvantage" (if you could call it that), is desensitizing to the material aspects of being rich.  You know, some guys have 10 cars, then they get the 11th, it loses some of the excitement.

Is it wrong if I feel that in many ways we actually need this lack of privacy with welfare...I can tell you without a doubt that when I was a cashier and people went to give me their EBT card many felt ashamed and that humility is in many ways motivational because they HOPEFULLY don't wanna have to leech forever off everyone and feel that embarrassment a couple/few times a week.

Also quick question for everyone without hijacking the thread please because it is sort of related...do you think we should have wealth redistribution from people who live not rich, not really rich, but from the people who are EXTREMELY FUCKIN RICH and pump some of their profits (not too much...but some) into the economy/people...I always wonder if this is wrong or not but if you're really raking in that freakin much you still don't deserve to live THAT well when others are out there hurting...

Dude, the more money I make, the more different ways people find to try to take it from me. I don't mean different tax brackets, I don't make that much, but when you're broke, you hang out with broke people. Broke people tend to steal outright. Lowe-middle broke people tend to guilt you into giving them your money. Upper-middle people tend to sweet-talk you into spending your money on them, with them, or for them. And if somehow, you finally make it to being rich, people want to sue you because they look at your money in terms of percentage owned instead of amount of dollars they need.

It's a messed up world. There are a lot of sharks out there.

Dude, when people are on welfare, they usually have a psychological burden of some sort that keeps them there. Their lives are usually hard, and while they usually seem okay on the outside, everybody seems okay on the outside, if you don't put up a fake front and your day-to-day for years is thinking about things you have no way of being able to fix that weigh your life down, your friends will head out and leave you (over the course of months or years) because they realize negativity brings them down and you don't stop. Most of these people are ashamed and accept welfare because they need it. They look after kids or someone they were reliant on is no longer around and jobs they can get don't pay enough money. There are many reasons people hit the bottom of the barrel, but in no way does making them feel worse about the situation they already feel terrible about help them out of that situation.

Giving my two cents because you just hit on a subject that's always interested me... Actually, ever since I was a checker at Albertson's and I made my first judgments of people by the type of food they spent their food stamps on. I realize now I was wrong to judge. Everybody's just trying to make it through the day.

A lot of the people who are Extremely rich, like Gates-rich, give tons of money back in many different ways. Scholarships to kids, spending it on charities, etc. They did earn that money, so it's hard to justify taking it away from them, but people seem to think they are earning that money for themselves. They are earning it to spend. They spend for themselves, they keep a buffer in case they are sued, their companies keep huge buffers in case something changes in their industry so they won't have to lay off 1/4 of their workers and ruin tens of thousands of househoulds in the process. There's a reason for wealth distribution in our society. It looks crappy from our perspective, but because of the way capitalism works it must be in place.

Now, should we start moving away from capitalism? There's a thought...

Depends on your definition of judged more, they're both just to the same level, but rich people are in the public eye a lot more, so more people judge them.

Poor people get judged just as much, but they don't see as many people in their life..

I judge both the rich and poor.. just on different ends of the spectrum.

Rich people amass their fortune then spend too much time worrying about losing it. Their lives revolve around money and it starts to define them as a person.

Poor people are... just poor.

Exactly.

A homeless person is seen my most as just another person, or worse, just another "thing". No one will really say anything if they are shooting up heroin in the back alley. They are just ignored for the most part. Ignoring them isn't really judging them, it is just well, ignoring them.

A rich person would be criticized in media if they fucked up and it could really fuck up their lives. They have stature, and when someone with stature fucks up, it is a big deal.


It's a sad truth for both rich and poor people. Society is fucked beyond belief

If you don't think homeless people are judged you're crazy. Homeless people are considered grimey, gross drug addicts.

Some are just unlucky Vets, some are Unlucky Divorcee's, you never know what life will throw at you.

Granted most are gross drug addicts, but some are genuinely good people. When I lived in south dakota, my roommate couldn't pay rent, so he just decided to join the marines and fuck me over, never told me he couldn't pay rent.

I was homeless for like 6 months, I had a job, I had a car, I wasn't a grimey drug addict homeless man with a cardboard sign on the exit of a free way.

My job was just not enough to pay all the rent myself and utilities.

I dunno, I guess that is just my view. I can sympathize with them so I don't think badly of them but I know some people do.

I don't sympathize with most of them...

None of them are trying to kick their addictions and turn their lives around, they don't care, they just perpetuate their homelessness.

Like I said, I was only homeless for sixth months. I was also doing plenty of drugs as well, more than usual because of depression of living in a car. I guess you could call a car a home but still. Couch hopping and car living for the most part, slept a shelter a few times, slept in my car a few hundred probably.

I'm just saying some of them are fucking their own lives over, and just don't care which is absolutely sad.

when you have money to spend, even if its not yours,(IE: your family is rich) it eventually alienates you from friends.


one day its 15 bucks for gas, to get to a 'job interview', the next they want a 500$ "loan," which they have no intention of paying back, to fix a shitty car that isnt even worth fixing. and when you say you can't, its like you fucked their mother. friendship over

That is very true.

I imagine most people that are on the 'street homeless' have burnt the bridges with their friends and family for whatever reason... may it be drugs or alcohol. I think it actually takes a lot of effort to get in that position. But.. once you are in that position, it is very difficult to get out of. A perpetual cycle of addiction and self destruction.

There are quite a few resources out there for the homeless. Free housing, free food, back to work resources.. but all require sobriety. And it is very disheartening to see how many people can't comply with that. Oh there I go judging again.

There are definitely limits. Those who are homeless and fiend drugs over everything else have sunken into a deep whole, and there usually isn't a rope to climb back out. I can sympathize because there is no rope.

People fuck up. I am all for second chances in life, but it is very true that those who do not accept the second chance are pretty pitiful.

^ Seen it happen to myself, and I dont even have money. I have like 3k in my bank and most of it goes to bills car payments, utilities and MAINLY to my car insurance.

Car insurance for an epileptic is so expensive it costs an arm and a leg.

I'm going to ask zombi3 if I can have his toes to pay my car insurance if he loses them.

Sort of. As a former homeless, I actually met and made friends with quite a bit of homeless folks.

There are MILLIONS of places for Free Food, Free clothes, Free showers, and Free housing, if you can't get into a shelter, a lot of churches will let you sleep there. Churches are also most often feeding the homeless, and almost every homeless person I met got benefit checks, but the checks would also get cashed, (at a place like AMSCOT or WalMart because no bank accounts and all you wanted was cash) and spent the same day. I've seen some of the homeless people empty out a 700 dollar check in one day. Section 8 Housing doesn't drug test in most states, government aid doesnt drug test in most states, almost none of it requires sobriety that I can think of, but if you get caught commiting crimes I think you lose your benefit checks.

I knew a lady who didn't even raise her kids, her mother (childs grandma) did, but her mother was a drug user too, so the grandma, didn't tell the state that her daughter (the mother) didn't raise the kid.

So she was getting 1500-2000 dollars a month for child support.

Now you tell me that bitch couldn't get out of her hole if she wanted too. That's enough money to get help for your addiction, and then pay rent on a house a few months, if not just one month later, not to mention having no income, so you automatically apply for section 8 housing so you get ridiculous cheap rent..

It requires sobriety to get out of being homeless but not to get the benefits , or at least moderation, but you're right, once you hit that point and are spending 2k on your drug habit until you have nothing and then pan handling for more, you're fucked.

You're absolutely correct and I should of worded my observation better. In my day to day activity, I come across many people who are court-ordered for detox and counseling, etc. Once you get in that legal system, there are many options to get back up off the ground if you comply (piss clean and check in with their PO.) More resources than the average joe is offered. But these are extreme cases and these people are truly ill. Usually after years of drugs, abuse and in general, mental illness. All they need is one slip up and it all goes away.

I was always thought that drug testing (MJ excluded) for welfare recipients was an excellent idea.

Dude, when people are on welfare, they usually have a psychological burden of some sort that keeps them there. Their lives are usually hard, and while they usually seem okay on the outside, everybody seems okay on the outside, if you don't put up a fake front and your day-to-day for years is thinking about things you have no way of being able to fix that weigh your life down, your friends will head out and leave you (over the course of months or years) because they realize negativity brings them down and you don't stop. Most of these people are ashamed and accept welfare because they need it. They look after kids or someone they were reliant on is no longer around and jobs they can get don't pay enough money. There are many reasons people hit the bottom of the barrel, but in no way does making them feel worse about the situation they already feel terrible about help them out of that situation.

Giving my two cents because you just hit on a subject that's always interested me... Actually, ever since I was a checker at Albertson's and I made my first judgments of people by the type of food they spent their food stamps on. I realize now I was wrong to judge. Everybody's just trying to make it through the day.




I like that first paragraph. You think I like being broke? Fuck no but I feel wealthy and the little bit I do have I will absolutely share if I see another broke person. I work hard were all in this struggle together.

In Alaska. It was the kids with 50k+ dollar cars and trucks that would steal from you. Daddy bought them a car they have no sense of responsibility. I work my ass off for every dollar I make. They don't know the value of a dollar.

so sorry if i'm actually replying to the threads premis and offering the few downsides of being 'rich.'

its just a plain fact that 'wealthy/rich people' have more publicity and public scruteny than 'poor people'.


and thats what the thread is about.
not bitching about how rich people are ruining the world, but the few disadvantages of being wealthy. you probably arent even 'poor' yourself. you post on the shroomery every day. so what exactly are you defending? did my post just offend you in particular some way?

yeah. i'm shitty at explaning my thoughts, but i wasnt trying to say rich people have it sooo tough,  just saying there are some real, actual issues that pop up when you have more money than the people who surround you

ARE FUCKING SERIOUS? No. That can't be an actual thought you have in your head.




:rolleyes: so youre saying that basically "Sybrina" Fulton is more criticized than the Koch brothers? or any other black 'victim'?

if you have a billion dollars, you are demonized much more than than a poor person. that is a fact.

denying that is retarded





while it is probably true, that a wealthy person may be more likely to be publicly scrutinized.  They also are treated with kid gloves a lot. check it out.  go ahead and skip to about 7 min



also, poor people are demonized all the time in aggregate.  like every time we hear about "thugs" doing this that or the other. Or comedic hillbilly sterotypes

denying that is half-retarded(:wink:)

You may question if people's intentions are real and not because of how much money you have. :lmao:

Being rich. It must have downsides.

Name one. I can't think of one apparently.




More of your effort and work is forcibly taken from you to subsidize others.

You are automatically blamed for society's ills whether you deserve it or not.
