It's all about Money * 1
    #27796248 - 05/28/22 09:38 AM (1 year, 7 months ago)

Great start to my Saturday. My boss either non chalantly decided to under compensate me for my labor or simply cannot keep track of payroll. It'll be fun trying to stretch out $100 over 3 weeks before I get paid again.

It brings out the worst in any entity. Businesses prioritize it above all else. Culturally we associate money with success, opportunity, etc. Think about all of the nasty shit people do in order to acquire it. It's not a matter of left or right. Either way you're subject to this reality. You can have a great friendship with someone; years of shared memories, hardships... until money becomes involved. Instantly gone, because of how much a mere piece of paper influences us.

Most of the time getting ahead means stepping on other people or becoming a slave. If you're not willing to work 70-80 hours a week for YEARS and accept the sacrificed that come with that, then be prepared to do some sketchy shit or deep throat corporate America and make that CEO even more prosperous. Make sure to hit your sales goals, or else! We'll wear you out, make you tired and feed you shitty food at work so you become unhealthy and void of energy when you're home. Don't forget the work politics and the totally absent favoritism :wink:. You need off that day? Nope, we need money, we can't afford to allow you to take time off unless it's annually allotted vacation time. Suck it up, loser. Bring those sales up, by the way. New quotas.

How about lobbying and bribery as well? You can do something horrendous and get off completely fine as long as you have some cash!

Forget your morals, those don't generate income. It's all about how you can twist, stretch, manipulate, and sell. How far you're willing to go because we've accepted the reality that who thrives not about who is strong, not about who is virtuous, forget any of that. At the end of the day, the extent of how those things relate to your perceived value is nothing compared to the decimals in your checking account.

The world we live in.

Money.

I'm thinking of it sometimes. That's at least sad.
That's why i'm trying to find the balance between the freedom, and "wealth".
Maybe me by myself i could live almost any life (low wealth, high freedom). Thoughts of family in the future though bring up necessity to provide for them.
The idea of business could change it all - but as said in your post - on what price?

Is it money or desire?

Christ, isn't it the truth? Modern capitalist society is cold hearted and blood thirsty. Should you happen to fall behind and end up homeless you're liable to be swept under the rug and forgotten about. A situation made worse by those who pray on programs actually designed to help people because of their own lazy, selfish desires for a quick, easy buck. It's disgusting. I'm no better than anyone else living like this either because I feed right into it and am trapped in the same web as everyone else, never trying to escape but barely hanging on by a thread.

It's always such a sad site to see a young person believing they have to live poor or get rich by either screwing over other people or becoming a slave.  First of all, by definition, a slave never gets ahead and an employee pretty much never does either which is probably what you meant

I still work pretty hard but a lot less hard than I used to.  I put in the hard work in my 20s and 30s and now make on average $200/hr even when I'm just driving to a job 2 hours away.  It comes to around $3200/wk and I answer to no one, have no boss, work the hours I want when I want, take days off when I want or need to, AND MOST IMPORTANLY I LOVE WHAT I DO.  I make people happy and the world a safer place

There is nothing special about me and I did nothing that anyone else couldn't do
But one thing I never did was consider myself "too good" for any job.  I've done some disgusting shit as part of my jobs thru the years but it was all part of the plan to stand out among the crowd as someone willing to do what needed done and people recognize that shit and will reward it.

Don't be an entitled fuck and stop thinking everyone that has success got there because they did some evil shit and maybe you'll make something of yourself someday too

I've cooled down a bit since writing the post. I can see how you may claim entitlement but that's not really it. I don't like how this abstraction has become the main purpose in our culture.. it feels like everything comes back to it. I can't help but feel like there is an enormous opportunity cost in doing things that are not "productive" or generative of income. It's a vicious cycle where I am constantly anxious and unable to think critically, with creativity, and ultimately in the present, because it always feels like I am rushing to make money somehow.

Money depreciates, has no intrinsic value, can be stolen from you, and is majorly used as a means to judge a person even though that ought to be an irrelevant metric for character.

no, I don't think a person with greater resources should be equated to opportunistic, immoral, etc all of the time. Having those qualities certainly makes it much more attainable. You simply can't argue otherwise.

It is much easier to work towards an immediately clear goal than some chosen, imagined one that is linked to having a certain amount of money..

Thanks for the input regardless.

Probably the latter, but they are mutually dependent. The desire is brought to fruition by money (a near perfect representation of resource), and thus money is sought after. Thus does it matter?

The suffering is produced by fear of being unable to pay rent and having to face the consequences of that.. I suppose the fear could be released by picking up a shit job but then my mind suffers by nature of that.

Do you have no family to give you care packages? Can you invest in cryptocurrency, paypal makes it very easy to get rich in crypto, what about selling stuff on ebay? Do you know there are no metal detectors at food lion grocery stores? The dog food aisle has no cameras, it is designed numerologically with the direct intent to addict you to dextroemthorphan cough medicines and ibuprofen is opium, tylenol is ganja, tight ankled baggy pants go a long ways in survival, ain't no one at the store gonna buy you neosporin if you get infected, or coffee if you are dieing spiritually, I get my money because I was framed forschizoeffective disorder, got stabbed and did alot of jail time, i dont mindthe hospice, when there is manna, when the others bum rush/grift me i feel like shit. I wish I could be more generous, I only get 99$ spending money a month. i would send you some money but like i got 2 cents on paypal. i dont know maybe you would be more popular on the internet help fund websites than shroomery, or maybe you are magnetically binding your shroomery plight to another effort i hope, that is good witchery. I love buying worms and raw seeds from witches which i swallow hole,i meant gummi cbd worms. one love, good luck...

Never been one to ask for money; I'm not entitled to it. Needed somewhere to release my frustrations. Thanks for the comment and good luck as well

I really don't understand why everybody's first bit of advice has something to do with "invest in crypto." Crypto's like any other stock you have to really follow it. I invested in crypto in late December I won't say which stocks but I lost a lot of money and finally by March I just sold my crypto off and took the loss.

Crypto is not an all-in to be all end all be all epitome of a good investment.

You can lose a shit ton of fucking money on crypto like anything else. It's not necessarily smart to just throw that out there towards anybody to just go ahead and invest in all the crypto you ever wanted. I would be very careful to do your homework on that one.

fuck that, i remember in 2013 bitcoin cost 23 bucks a coin. its 30,000 now. with paypal you can buy in 1$ at a time, 9 years later you have 3,000$. crypto is king, and purchases aren't taxed.
