It's not wealth I'm after. It's security. I want to be able to reach a point in my life where I don't have to give 50+ hours of my time every week to some fucking company that doesn't give a shit about me just to barely scrape by on rent and groceries. I can't do that from where I'm so I have to save money wherever possible and build my career. Congrats to the guy I responded to for finding someone willing and capable of providing for him but most of us aren't going to be so fortunate.
Let me be more blunt about this.
You're going to die. No matter how much money you make, no matter whether you own your own house or not, no matter whether you can buy whatever food you fancy, you are going to die.
If you're spending your life just thinking about how to make more money, your life is pointless. Do something better with it.
What do you propose I do? I already said I'm fucking broke. I have no space of my own to do hobbies. I can't afford to travel. I go out with my friends a couple times a month and that kills my spending budget because everything is expensive now. I just had to buy a laptop and get my car worked on (again because I don't have a space of my own to do it myself) and just that wiped out six months of savings. How can I think about anything but money when if I take my eye off the ball I'll be fucked?
You've never been fucked in your life. You can complain about being fucked when you live in Gaza or Syria or something. Until then, stop pretending you're some kind of victim because you blow money on expensive tech shit and partying.
So you don't have an answer then? You could just say that.
