Not doing well in school isn't your problem; I know plenty of people with college degrees who are in dire straits financially. Your problem is probably more an issue of not having any real skill set...maybe people right now are going through the exact same situation. Best of luck to you!

Relentless made a good comment though: You need a decent skill set that makes you valuable in the marketplace. Even if you are not that bright, there are still plenty of skillsets you can aquire ;D
If you chose to go that route, be prepared on spending a lot of time for years though, but it will pay off. (and you might avoid having to save up cash for your sunday snack) ;D

Johnny,
Just make your parents buy you whatever you want. There should be no reason for you to strain yourself for pointless or useless work.
It is rather amusing how fooled Americans are into giving up their entire life in pursuit of trinkets all the while being used as nothing more than an indentured servant to the higher ups. They then conflate their whole existence with their occupation and become unoriginal and unintelligent with no prospect of ever attaining self-fulfillment.
The reason they call it the American Dream is because you have to be asleep to believe it.

people are gonna accuse me of "nuthugging" you too much TA but you speak the truth
people think they have this moral duty to live "upright" life
mobster's have it right- why work like a 9-5 like some schlub
the fact in this matter for the "moral" set is this- there is a "God" but you know what- he doesn't care what you do with your life
Religion, however, bullies people with their bully stick the call "God" saying that do this and do that but don't do this or else "God" will strike you with lightening.
God don't care what you do with your life- have fun

Gotta say I agree. I would never force my children to work if it wasn't necessary.
What is called "work" today is mostly a perversion anyway.

There is no god my friend, other than that, your father owes you as your parents had you at their own behest and volition, whereas you did not have a single say in the matter. They wanted you for solely their own entertainment or whatever self-serving purpose. And if they have discarded you like a worn out toy (as seems to be the American trend) after their amusement is placated, it would do you good to remind them of their conscious choice and the fact that you had none in being born. In my opinion, a parent owes their children for life. Whatever they want, whenever they want. There is zero point in making anyones life more difficult, especially when the means are there to provide freely.

You're only 30. Go back to school. That or try working a legitimate job that doesn't involve you taking long objects up the ass.

Why this obsession with "work"? I don`t see how that would validate or boost Johnny`s existence any further. Why would it make you so ecstatic for Johnny to "work". Furthermore, what exactly constitutes a "legitimate job" and how and why do you classify employment as such?
-
Johnny,
Sounds like you got some pretty shitty parents. Trust me though, you do not need good parents to get what you want out of life.
My wife came from Brazil from absolute nothing and has made more for herself than her entire family (9 brothers and sisters) combined.
My advice to you is learn that you are unique. We all are. Set some goals for yourself and make a specific plan on how to get there. If stripping is your only visible solution now, do it. Always keep your eyes open, opportunity comes at you in ways you might not expect.
I will tell you this, having a pessimistic view will only get you a pessimistic life. If that is what you enjoy, than stick with it, but if you want more, change your viewpoint.
-

Make me ecstatic? I couldn't care less. He's crying about how he has no money and his life is in the shitter. There's a pretty simple solution to that. Go work. Not everyone can be a lifelong student. :D
-
They wanted you for solely their own entertainment or whatever self-serving purpose.
actually, given the fact that they were both a product of post WWII Europe it can be assumed that they believed in marriage before you have kids
well, my parents didn't get married till i was 8 (they divorced a year later) so, i was a child of sin
I was destined for a life as a degenerate

Basic rule: Focus on emotional fulfillment when designing your life.

In all seriousness, you probably believe that today, and this deeply held belief influences your life in almost every area you can think of.

You are exactly right. The language you use to describe yourself will define who you are. Change the language, change your life.

Good idea, but he probably can't change a belief as strong as this by changing his inner dialogue. He needs theraphy (like EMDR or CBT) to get rid of it.
-
How does one make money without working?
Perhaps "making money" is a useless endeavor to some and provides no fulfillment. I believe his parents should provide him fully with whatever he wants.
I do not want children whatsoever, but if I did, I would make sure that he or she would NEVER have to do anything he or she did not want to do. If they want a Ferrari, a Ferrari they will get. The point is, only have a child if you plan on making their life as simple as they want it to be. If you cannot do that, what business do you have in having a child? The upper classes have always used this rule and that is why the upper classes ALWAYS remain at the top and for long periods of time. You will have some rogues that will make it to the top, but rest assured that once they do, they implement the aforementioned rule and shower their children with the best that they can provide.

No they dont.....
The vast majority of millionaires assets are totally squandered in a generation or two due to the effect of "subsidized living" that they provide to their offspring.....which breeds complacency and lack of solid work ethic.

You might be right. I do not know Johnny or what he needs. Until that point, trying something might help him more than he thinks.
It does require one to really look inside of themselves and i have found that is a lot harder for people to do than i would wish.

What about the middle class mom that refinances her house and gets a home equity loan so she can buy her dumb girl blonde haired daughter a BMW before she goes off to college to become a sororstitue?
-
You=Wrong. Totally wrong.
You= talking about the WAY UP Upper Class, in which case you are correct. I am talking about the average household with a few million dollars in assets.
Read "The Millionaire Next Door", one of the greatest selling books of all time.

btw, this thread won't matter once june hits cuz it is close to wedding season meaning that the bachlorette parties (and male revues) will be aplenty....

The mother must have forgotten that abortion was and is legal. :-\
-
Yes in a perfect world that would happen.
But people have to grow up and take charge of their own lives, I know that your parents died when you were very young, Adam (I'm sorry they did), but I highly doubt they would have done that for you.
What do you do to make a living now?
Let us pray for them now AXA my son :(

What is wrong with doing nothing as opposed to something, if the nothing brings true happiness and enlightenment or freedom ala Thoreau.
-

Debussey was refering to how JohnnyNoName should do something to remove his deeply held negative beliefs instead of doing nothing. He = clearly not very happy.
In general, if doing nothing makes you the most happy, by all means (just be aware of where it might get you) 8)
-

Doing nothing can definitely be an appropriate option depending on the circumstance.
We were talking about someone calling themselves a degenerate. I wouldn't call that happy, would you?

I come from Jews (father`s side) , albeit cultural atheist Jews as most all Americanized Jews are. The Jews provide for their families forever and always. Its called La Kosher Nostra.
-
Yes, we would all love to do nothing and have plenty of money and have anything we desire, But life does'nt play out that way.
Doing nothing doesn't pay the bills or put food on the table. You work to make money just like the rest of us.
what do you know about life, boy
you are a snot nosed kid who doesn't know anything yet
wait till you turn 30, THEN tell me about life, boy
-

At 30 - 40+, your knowledge about life will be more colored by your personality and direction taken in life than actual reality.

I absolutely disagree. What comes for free is worth nothing. And anybody who has to do "nothing" year in year out for a longer period of time will perish mentally sooner or later. I know what I'm talkin about, I was "student" for years, hardly doing anything and gettin' all the cash from my parents in the ass. ;D
I feel much better nowadays having a regulated daily routine, high salary and can actually look forward to finishing times, weekends and holidays.
I prefer the EU-Stress so much over the DI-Stress. Nothing more fulfilling in life than working hard for something and getting rewarded fairly. Everything else is a joke and no life.

If so, who provides for them? your grandparents?

where do they get the money to support generations for their entire life?
Does this money never run out if no jew has to work?
where does this enormous amount of wealth come from?

This TA guy watches too many movies. As I stated earlier the vast majorities of millionaires assets are squandered within a generation or two.
OF COURSE, you can make an exception for the Rockefellers or the Kennedys.

Calm down grandpa.
Yes I am young, thanks for noticing, my birthday is in a month, I will be 20, I already feel so old :'(
Debussey = mesmerized by this whole "just wait until you're my age boy, then you'll know about life" when referenced to as some generalizable knowledge that everybody will know eventually.
The truth is that besides some "truths" that can easily be derived from common sense, the knowledge people acquire throughout life is highly colored by their personality, choices/actions and social circle, and most of this so called "knowledge" is often pure garbage and not useable for other people when given in the form of advice.
Ask a cleaning lady or somebody like JohnnyNoName that needs to save to afford a 300USD pants + with a history of fucked up family relationship, and his "knowledge" about life will consist a bunch of crap that = completely useless to someone who is successful in all areas of life.
Besides some common truths, people should look for the life knowledge of successful people (since their experiences will be useful, as seen by where it got them) and work hard on acquiring their own throughout experiences and reflection.
Since life is a subjective experience, there is as much "life knowledge" to be learned as there are humans on this planet.
Example: Sit down with a cleaning lady and an upper middle class person and ask them about their life knowledge. The answers will be very different.

Hmm...most of the knowledge I have acquired is utterly useless. Generally speaking so have been my experiences. I can relate to Johnny on many fronts.

You see how this works yet? You ONLY have Children if you can provide for them for life. If you cannot do that, you do not have children and hence the generations do not carry on. This is an established La Kosher Nostra rule. The family fortune can always be added to and once it reaches a certain point, the investments made only generate more with compound interest.
This is true outside of La Kosher Nostra. Lets take the Kennedys for example. They follow the same type of rule and logic when it comes to generational wealth.
-
You do? Sounds great, tell me more.
It was an example, the "I" was not personalized, neither was my previous statement.
I agree that there is a correlation between the three, but in my experience, it's a loose correlation, not a strong one.

The point still stands: Besides a few "common sense truths", "life knowledge" is useless unless given as advice by successful people. A 35 year old doofus does not know much more about life than a 20 year old besides a series of experiences that were mostly a result of his own personality. When the 20 year old reaches 35, the experiences and beliefs he has about the world (unless he is very similar to the first 35 year old in the first place and from/in the same demographical segments) will not be very comparable to the first 35 year old. If the first 35 year old = a loser, the 20 year old better not take any of his advices to heart, as he'll almost only learn the convictions that lead to the failures of the 35 year old.
In psychology it is said that psychological and chronological age correlates extremely poorly if any at all.
-
The whole "age thing" is so people gain "experience" which is subjective and allows them to have better judgment and make better choices in relfection to their past experiences.
Kind of like "fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me"
JNN's knowledge that he has aquired is: life horrible, it sucks, parents are assholes, I have to do shitty jobs just make a living,
I have no purpose in life, I am a piece of shit, Dignity and pride are for idiots, etc etc.
Really sad I must say. :-\
Badabingbangboom. When you reach his age, your life knowledge will probably be way different than his.
-
Fuck work. I hate working and do it because I have to, end of story.
Yes but there are people who love their profession. My point was just that it doesn't mean they have to get rich or put a lot of effort into it. It all depends. Plus when salery reaches a certain level, it can't possibly be correlated to effort anymore.

Success and failure can be relative, in terms of societal success I am a failure whilst others think that in some respects I have been very successful.

Do you make this stuff up as you go along? There is no 'kosher nostra'. It's the silliest thing I have ever heard.
I am telling you for a FACT that there is thing of ours called "La Kosher Nostra". ;)
Think of it like this, its a big club and you ain`t in it. I remember my Grandfather talking about La Kosher Nostra all the time and doing business in his office and seeing business cards of Senators, Governors and the like, exchanging money when it needed to be done and what have you.
My grandfather did spend 3-4 years in Federal Prison for "income tax evasion". Of course this was the only thing the US government could get him on as they had a vendetta on Jews especially in the 50s with the whole House Committee on Un-American Activities during Wood and Thomas. He would go back and forth to Cuba all the time and they didn`t take to kind to that. He refused to give up any names as they wanted to know who bribed whom and for how much.
Silence is part of La Kosher Nostra, especially when innocent.

Yeah, I know some of these people, really envy them but not everyone is so lucky. For me work is just a necessary evil.

It is relative to a certain extent (but when n = big, the things that make up "success" and "failure" = pretty similar), but regardless, it = pretty easy to measure roughly.

The Federal Government I think brought around 5-10 different cases against my Grandfather. Google still has some of them on record.

haha, TA......maybe you should do an internet new expose on this? Classic.

very one sided views here..
For some a job is a meaningful part of their life; intellectually challenging, doing something useful. Those who see it as just a way of raising money are missing out on opportunities to actually get fulfilment and even <gasps> joy out of their work.
It's a trade off, if I could get a job that paid me enough only to work 20 hours a week, I'd be fine with a non-challenging job, I'd have enough time to seek that elsewhere. With a full-time job the importance of many aspects of the job (challenge/colleagues/etc) has become that much bigger.
@ debussey I've seen quite a few people that were really successful in life but for whom I have no respect in any way. When it comes to life experience, itīs your task a sentient human to learn from the experience, apply it, integrate it, and enrich yourself. Experience in that respect is a purely egocentric phenomenon. that doesnīt mean you should ignore insights from others but apply critical thought to it.
@ TA. making life as simple as possible for your kids just makes em spoiled and lazy. Provide a solid base: caring family (in any shape or form), food, shelter, plenty of peers, access to proper education, and from that point on they should be on their own with ofc some guidance from the parent(s) in the background. again challenges, even minor ones, are very good for instilling self-reliance, autonomy and self worth in people.

That is why I call myself a failure. ;D :D :-\ Objectively I am.

It is to some extent as is everything in life. Luck is enormously important. If you have been born in the slums of Calcutta, you likely wouldn't even be typing here let alone pursuing your goals. Luck.

Well it sounds like there is more to it than there is, but there really isn`t. Its just typical Madoff type stuff if you know what I mean. Jews gaming other Jews and roping in the other dopes.

The "critical thought" comment was very good. Debussey was overdoing it a bit to make a point and you = correct.
When Debussey says "successful", it does not mean only "financial success" or whatever. Debussey means a balanced life that is fulfilling to the person, which means there = good personal relationships, an fulfilling career, health ect that together gives the person a life "worth living".

I laugh at idiots who say if they won the lottery they would keep their jobs.......really?
Two things. First how about let someone who actually needs a job have yours?
Second...how about doing volunteer work?

Depends on the job. If it's a job to make money, I agree.

The examples you have laid out are but a small minority in the case of millionaires in this country.
Most millionaires offspring will never be able to duplicate the amount of monetary wealth of their parents.

not sure what you mean...isn't the whole definition of a "job" doing an activity to make money? Otherwise I think of it as a hobby... ;D

Debussey's comments were aimed towards people living in the west.
And even if luck is important, most people having a job they truly love have done their share of introspection and experimenting to find out what they love in the first place, before working on their skills to make themselves a match for a career they want to pursue. This is a result of an attitude/belief, not luck.
No offence, but you seem to be very negative at times. :-\ Your beliefs forms your life through dictating what actions you take and so on, and walking around with a belief that luck = the main factor won't help you much because it = a great way to avoid attaining inner locus of control and never doing what = required to actually getting a good career. This = very similar to learned helplessness ::)
Luck favours the prepared mind, right Debussey? ;)
You and Debussey = in 100% agreement 8)

Imagine having a grandfather that was a major industrialist and you are left a multi-million dollar fortune when you turn 21..but your father, who squandered his own fortune in the stock market, steals your trust fund. That's my story. Luckily I learned to become a foreign currency trader. I modified an automated trading program..now I set it before I go to bed and it executes trades while I sleep. I wake up some morning with some serious cash and my days are basically spent doing whatever i want.

Well, I laugh at people who win the lottery and blow it all away only to end up broke a couple of years down the road.
Had they invested the money the won, they would have had a source of income for life with out having to work.
i laugh at them too.....of course I laugh at most people... 8)

That cements my point rather nicely about Generational wealth. IF your family has enough to provide for generations, why make life difficult on purpose for your descendants or force them to embrace meniality as if it is some sort of virtue.
Think of it like this, if you won 400 million dollars in a lottery, why wouldn`t you give your children anything they want?

I am and have been very introspective. I have thought about my 'calling' many times for well over a decade as an adult. I can assure you it's not for lack of introspection that I haven't found my 'passion'. My 'negativity' stems from a realistic assessment of my options, nothing more.

It = very interesting that both you and Debussey = very introspective, and have totally different lives, attitudes and results in the area you and Debussey = discussing at this point.
Just goes to show how different people are, and how life knowledge = extremely personalized 8)

You are young, intelligent and have your passions. You have a bright future ahead of you. I on the other hand am the complete opposite in this respect.
-

The core = pretty similar, but the way to a "pleasant core" = very different for different people.
Also, do not forget that people have different temperaments which = partially a result of genetics. Just look at the Myer Briggs Type Indicator. The different personality types have different ways to achieve fulfillment.

Which is exactly why Debussey could not operate on your "life knowledge", just like you could not operate on Debussey's "life knowledge".
And you are very smart dear Deicide.

I think we might be talking about different things regarding the term "core". What I mean has absolutely nothing to do with genetics.

In NYC we used to say that and a $1.50 will get you on the subway. Haha. Lots of people tell me that but so far my intelligence hasn't gotten me very far or anything of benefit.

Just looking at this thread, I see virtually no difference at all.
Maybe with the exception of Debussey. There is a noticable lack of ego in Debussey which I greatly admire.

Perhaps You have never determined "where you want to go". Not that you must, but I am sure if you wanted to use whatever knowledge and intelligence you do have to provide for yourself, this could easily be accomplished.
-

Eckhart is a practitioner. I'm more of a theorist. It's philosophically impossible to talk about the essence of a human being in terms of genetics.

Let's say you have a passion for painting, yet are still an amateur. You win 20 mill, and you can spend the next 5-10 years painting 3-8 hours daily.
Within that time, you've put in enough work to become a professional (given some initial talent), and you can have a new career doing what you love without having to think about the earnings.
That would be extremely rewarding.

Yes. The only difference is that the money issue is gone and thus you can do whatever you want.
