Title: life as a poor person (most of you), is it really worth it?
Post by: anabolichalo on April 16, 2014, 11:36:52 AM

But if you work all your life and die old and  poor, you're doing something wrong.

Seen people work same job in same old factory for 40 yrs....do they not think at one point to move up?

Last CEO I personally knew off were pulling in millions a year. IF they're clever they'll chuck it in at 50 and live the good life.

You'd love to be a CEO, don't lie. We all would.

take ESF for example

steroid dealing ex con, always upside down in bills (luxury car payments, enormous mortgage, designer clothes, posh restaurants) just so he can try to get a whiff of what it would be like to be rich and be perceived as such. ironically he's like a hamster running as fast as he can in his wheel, never seeming to get anywhere despite his best efforts

Life as a poor person sucks, life as a poor working person sucks twice as much. This sums it up pretty much. Better be poor and do some shit that you like and have a lot of freetime than kill 8 hours a day in job 5 times a week, return home turn up TV fuck your wife and go sleep and repeat. I am still thinking of moving for example to Thailand and live with few money, but bitches have retirement visas for 50 yo +, I see people working their ass off and their pissed off faces. Find ways how to make money without working like asshole or die trying.  :-\

Off course it's not. The only 'payments' worth making are mortgage payments. Expensive car payments = mug's game.

Lemonade money, champagne lifestyle

As a senior accountant for the ministry of tourism in prison, I am sure he is correct when he expressed that since cars are diminishing in value it is not wise to buy them but rather take out a 3% loan on them so you can deduct that loan from your taxes :D

I have no doubts he could easily buy an S class mercedes cash right away, being a high rolling personal trainer of the stars

Not sure why but humans have had the idea pounded into them that if they don't work that they cannot be defined.  Total bullshit.  The smartest people are the ones that accumulate enough wealth to then retire early and enjoy life.  Being a billionaire and working until your dead is total bullshit.  You can't spend that money in death.

I guess "enjoying life" gets boring pretty soon. Luxury is only luxury as long as you're not getting used to it.

Why are the children of billionaires who're "enjoying life" 24/7 the ones ending up in rehab or suicide a lotta times?

"Enjoying life" is meant to be the balance for working hard most of the time, that's how enjoyment works. You won't enjoy a filet mignon after u get one 3 times per day for a week straight.

Those are the stupid kids you hear of, but there are plenty that make good use of your time.  Nothing is more boring of work, but at least if you wanted to do something you love and not worry about money, being Rich is nice.  If you love painting, then paint.  No need to make it a hobby.

How many people are truly in their dream job?  I once asked my QA engineer and he said the job he was doing now.  I had to laugh. Really? your dream was to be a QA engineer?

it doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure that out

mortgage/insurange/upkeep - $2500
car payments - $800
car insurance - $200
food - $300
eating out - $400
gas - $500
hair/nails/tooth stuff/soap/ect - $100
...
i'm sure i'm missing stuff.. phones, tv/net, ect.. figure another $500

that's $5300/month... just over $60k/year, fairly easy between two people, even if one works only part-time.

that's what you call upside down in bills? lol

that shows me 100% that you're fucking broke and have never made more than 15k a year working a part time job.

there's high school dropouts, married with 2 kids who can afford that.... and you can't? (and they actually take care of their children)

maybe you should spend less time here, and more time getting some education so you can make some more money and afford some friends and social life.... maybe get on disability and take up a hobby.

I just did, what a remarkable life story

he was an underground world fighting champion

he was betrayed by his grand master

and framed for a murder he didn't commit

inside the corrupt prison guards had set up a fight to the death full contact championship

esf fought them all before clearing his name when some sympathetic lawyers

read the manuscript of his life

titles 6 grams a week then kung fu mother fuckers

and fought to have his name cleared

on release from prosin to remind himself of the hell he went through esf posted all his worst pics on his new website for personal training

those pics are a constant reminder that the 300 lb with abs killing machine was once humbled by life

I agree with you in a way, but some of us like working. I do something I love doing, so I don't call it work. It keeps me busy and gives me purpose. I don't want to get up at 9am, go to the gym, roll back into bed and spend the rest of the day drinking and doing nothing. I'll get depressed. Equally, I won't work a job I hate. I'll rather go on welfare and retrain before I do that. I've just applied for a much better job (won't mention the salary as everyone will spend the day crying and squealing) and it looks like I'm going to get it. I might be shit at it and get fired after 3 months but it would've been fun, given me purpose and made me a bit of money along the way.

How else would I have spent this time? Drinking, training, sleeping and playing games the whole day? Again, I'll get depressed.

People think 'Life' is this horrible thing to go through. Spend a week going after a job you think you might enjoy. You might just end up changing your life for the better.

Once a year I get together for a weekend with the other people I work with (on my level and above) for our annual retreat at a luxury hotel. We all hate each other but it is unsaid and we all smile and pretend that we are all collegial and friendly. Also unsaid is that our biggest competitors in our business are not at other businesses but within our own business as we would all steal each other's clients at the first opportunity. As soon as we get back to our offices on Monday it's back to the usual backstabbing, double dealing, etc. None of us are billionaires by any stretch but most everyone at our level is doing pretty well, relatively speaking.

It is a miserable life.  

Get another job?

I was there to collect a supposed debt for a friend who owned, or who's father and uncle owned a payday loan/check cashing biz. I'd already spoken with the owner of the grocery store (who was a sports bookie and it was football season) and when I went to pay for what I was buying (which was two bags of Chinese sausage and meatballs and a pack of Dunhill ciggerettes) he started giving me a hard time about my id, so I went out to my car to get it. if I was robbing him, do you think I would've shown him my fucking id? lol think about it, genius. I had the gun in my holster the whole time and only put my hand on it when he lifted up a mini-bat/club like he was gonna swing at me, which he didn't. even gave a guy a jumpstart outside the biz when I left (it was January and cold in the Midwest). sound like I was 'robbing' of 'sticking up' a liquor store to you? lol

True story.

I knew this person who was a panhandler, lived like a bum, pinched every penny was cheap as fuck.  Saved up every penny because they were afraid to be poor which was ironic because she lived like she was a vagrant.  She died when hit by a bus, her sister was cleaning out her apartment and found a little over $200K in cash.  So this person saved the money to not be poor but lived like they were poor.  Fucked mindset

A pound sitting doing nothing is a pound wasted.
You cant take it with you. I'll never be rich, whatever your defination of rich is, but I'd just like to be confortable when I'm older. Work is tough on my body and at 36, I can see the direction it's going. I'll always work just dont wanna be jamming when I'm 50-60 unless it's in a ownership capacity. Which is def the plan, owned my own business once already. No fear of striking out again if the oportunity is there

But if you work all your life and die old and  poor, you're doing something wrong.

Seen people work same job in same old factory for 40 yrs....do they not think at one point to move up?
Some people just arent that smart, or maybe a better way to put it is arent that talented. Dont excel at anything or have the passion and know how to move up in a given field. There's a 17yr old from a Tech School working with us and I can tell from the way he works that he just doesnt have it in him to do the job.

You know a 45 year old, retired millionaire who serves his kids rotten food?

Working for the "man" will eventually grind the best of us down. It all depends on how you look at it. Set your life up the way you want it to be. Being rich is not the end all solution. We all would like more of money drugs cars and women. Find a good hobby and some real friends to share life with. Life is good and fun, I actually was really happy when I had less responsibility and money. Probably because I had all the time in the world to do the things I wanted. Remember Time is the most valuable commodity on earth not money. Chase the all mighty dollar and by the time you get it your stressed out and out of time. Enjoy everyday.

So lets get this right....

If you are working, you cant be enjoying life?

I'm writing this at 10am, sitting in a coffee shop by my house, having a coffee with my 4 year old daughter.

After this i'll go home & do some work.

This feels fine to me.

There's a guy i know trains landmine sniffing dogs for a living. Travels all over the world to places with landmine issues and helps them with their clearing programs. He seems pretty happy to me.

Perhaps the issues isnt the work itself but being obsessed with having more or needing to be 'further ahead' in life.

It's "want" that makes you unhappy, not what you have.

Hence you can be unhappy at any level of wealth.

There's a story in Black Swan by Taleb where they are the richest family on their street. Then they become more wealthy and move up in the world but become the poorest people living in a community of extremely wealthy people.

So they went from being the only people with a boat to living amongst people with yachts and their own jets.

They'd go to parties where people were discussing which jet to buy next and they could not keep up with that. Anyway, his wife ended up miserable in the new place because they couldn't keep up with their new 'peers'.

Life as a poor person sucks, life as a poor working person sucks twice as much. This sums it up pretty much. Better be poor and do some shit that you like and have a lot of freetime than kill 8 hours a day in job 5 times a week, return home turn up TV fuck your wife and go sleep and repeat. I am still thinking of moving for example to Thailand and live with few money, but bitches have retirement visas for 50 yo +, I see people working their ass off and their pissed off faces. Find ways how to make money without working like asshole or die trying.  :-\



This is the situation I'm in.  parents are trying  to strike a deal with me where if I go back to school they give me cash but they know what I spend the cash on so they would have me on a budget. food and rent...that's it. So I have an important decision to make.

Continue working the shit fly by manual labor jobs I do and have a little money in my pocket  Or go back to school and be broke for two years.   Look I got no problem with hard work Im not a lazy guy...but  I have a bunch of friends older than me in their mid to late twenties, went to good colleges, walk away with their bachelor's degrees and are 25 ,,,, living with their parents while they work at GNC for 12 bucks an hour.....no thanks.

I was lucky and got a great job out of pure luck, For a brief period I Was making about a grand a week cash under the table. On top of the money my parents were giving me for rent and food, 7 k a month. would of been almost 90k a year... For a high school drop out...that's pretty good. Dude broke up with his wife got back on drugs and got fired and that was that Im back to square 1.

My point is though there are way to make money. I've proven this to myself time and time again so if Im going to do the college thing it better be worth my time

Then learn from your friends and don't take a worthless degree.

'Degree' has become the most dangerous word in the work place. People are under the impression it makes you red hot property to employ  ::)

No, you managed to do your 3 years and now you still don't know fuck all.

The only degrees worth taking are engineering degrees, science degrees and perhaps finance degrees. And law. Nothing else.

If I had my time over I would sit a Physics degree. I'll struggle my balls off but I'll grind through it. You walk out of that, you can do anything from Finance to Engineering to Science to Teach/Lecture. Probably even law as in the UK at least you don't need to go to university to be a lawyer. There's more people working at Google with Physics degrees/masters than any other degree out there.

If you have enough smarts and willing to fight a constant headache for 3-4 years, take a look at it..

Im sure if I told my parents tomorrow I want to get my physics degree they would support me with $ in order to study full time for it.

The age I went to university. So what are you waiting for?

Just don't sit a pointless degree and waste 3 years of your life. Nobody needs an idiot that tossed off on a degree in 'American Studies' or 'Human Resources' or 'Mass Media' or 'Languages' 'Sociology' 'Sports Science' or any other of the 1001 dumbass degrees. If you're lucky enough to find a job after sitting 3 years suffering through that, you'll never have any job security. There's a 100 thousand other that took the exact same easy path as you did.

So, get to it then!

I ask this in the nicest possible way. Do you 'know' what a degree really mean?

I'll have to answer that for you as I'm going out tonight and won't have time to get back to this conversation.

It means very little, pretty much nothing. You come out of Medicine, or Law or Engineering and you know nothing. You get trained up in the REAL WORLD from scratch. Both my cousins just came out of Medicine last year and they're still not allowed to even diagnose at the hospitals they work.

A degree shows that you're willing to put in the time and work, not that you know anything. If you and Jeff Immelt both rock MBAs from Harvard, meaning your educational background is exactly the same. Do you know more about business than him?

Physics is about smarts and it's hard. It brings a great caliber worker to your business.

Thanks for the patronizing response, I guess....you didn't answer my question though

Considering Google is a dot-com/software/tech company, I don't see why they would preferably hire employees with a Physics degree.  Although I'm sure a degree in Physics is very difficult, it's not as relevant to the work they'll be doing as somebody who has a degree in computer sciences, etc.  Also it's not the only difficult degree out there.

So again, I ask, where did you hear that more people working at Google have a Physics degree than any other?  Cite your sources please :)

Once a year I get together for a weekend with the other people I work with (on my level and above) for our annual retreat at a luxury hotel. We all hate each other but it is unsaid and we all smile and pretend that we are all collegial and friendly. Also unsaid is that our biggest competitors in our business are not at other businesses but within our own business as we would all steal each other's clients at the first opportunity. As soon as we get back to our offices on Monday it's back to the usual backstabbing, double dealing, etc. None of us are billionaires by any stretch but most everyone at our level is doing pretty well, relatively speaking.

It is a miserable life.  
it's the same at all levels in every job. We re animals. Hapiness is fucking other people in the ass and it's automatical. You want to be happy, dominate. If you cant dominate, no hapiness for you. Who's happy? those at the top, and they re happy because there are a lot of unhappy people below them and they know it.

Spoken with truth.

Was a teacher, and I couldn't take the stupid gossip and bossy fat, ugly girls who complained about everything. Going to mindless meetings and engaging people with fake smiles and constantly talking about if it's Friday yet. I began to get depressed how my life amounted to it and envious of those who did what they loved for a living. Due to my nature, I simply cannot be told what to do by anyone, much less miserable people that hate their existence. I had to be my own boss. So I struck out on my own and began to fulfill my destiny...best decision I've ever made.

My life continues to be awesome!

Who's happy? those at the top, and they re happy because there are a lot of unhappy people below them and they know it.

total bullshit, those who are happy are they who have miserable minions beneath them? your insane.

What about those jobs?

Last CEO I personally knew off were pulling in millions a year. IF they're clever they'll chuck it in at 50 and live the good life.

You'd love to be a CEO, don't lie. We all would.

You are not older than 30 right? A lot of freetime set people in trubble they could nver imagine of!  NEVER EVER

Working some jobs for 40 years and then retire as an old fuck  and then die

No its not worth it. Modern man's new eternal struggle should no longer be to attain the "American dream" because that is now a delusion. The current system does not allow for one to obtain this equilibrium and find "happiness," its not designed to. The American dream has become a ceaseless loop of consumption and spending that does not end. The more you make, the bigger your circle of obligations becomes. This is a choice, but a choice that almost nobody seems to be able to resist.  

The new eternal struggle should be to find a way to break free of the system and not end up another choice-less cog in the great machine. For some, this is a fulfilling career that gives you independence, control over your day to day life (hours of the day), and freedom. If you make enough to not live paycheck to paycheck and have some freedom in your day to day life, you are doing ok.

The new modern man's eternal struggle is not a 1950's middle class house with a car in the garage and a chicken in the pot. It's self sustainability in a consumer based world while still maintaining one's dignity, freedom and daily independence. If you can find that today, you are a step above the rest. Godspeed, meatheads.

p.s. Sadly, most of you idiots are destined for a lifetime of wage slavery, debt and ultimate death. You are building someone else's dream because you never went for yours. Sleep on that.

p.p.s when im not making wads of pocket cabbage as a PI attorney, I also write for Rolling Stone and christen babies on the weekend.

EPIC TRUTH POST OF PEACE (ETPP).
