Hmmmmm

hmmmmm

Maybe not, but they sure help

but it does buy a sea-doo.

have you ever seen someone unhappy on a sea-doo?

wow, really made me think

But ever new side pussy, that's worth dying for.

ONE OF US

BASED LEO

Having a nice kitchen doesn't satisfy your need to eat either. What it does do is give you the opportunity to pro-actively change that fact.

>tfw sitting home playing vidya all day makes me happy

yaass

This just in: another rich fuck tells people what will or won't make them happy.

I really wish people would stop repeating this Tosh joke. Every time a conversation comes up where people talk about happiness that line gets dropped.

It literally does.

Fantastic analogy.

Yeah, definitely, if you're one of those people who's determined not to be happy, money won't automatically overcome that. But if not, it's actually pretty easy to buy happiness.

Yeah, but I'd reather be unhappy on a yacht surrounded by 7 supermodels

really makes you think extra hard when the pic is in black and white

Neither does poverty and failure

Yeah, I'm sure when you're on your death bed, your money and your career resume will make a huge difference

You shitposted in the Bane Wars?

Success is for losers.

Who gives a fuck about death bed? I have like 60 more years of life.

What the fuck are you talking about?

Hes basically saying were all going to die so money doesnt matter, but thats a stupid point

Alright then, feel free to give me a chunk of your wealth Mr. Limousine Liberal.

This is a lie - I would probably kill myself if I didn't have money

...

There's no success like failure, and that's no success at all.

...

unsuccessful, poor and unhappy man here. really makes you think...

>'I’ve been very lucky to have achieved a lot of the things that I dreamt of achieving as a young man,’ he says. 'But, at the end of the day – and I truly believe this – it is not about achieving great wealth or success. Because they don’t bring happiness ultimately. They really don’t. What matters is whether or not you’ve fulfilled the idea of having led an interesting life, whether you’ve contributed in some way to the world around you.’

Sure thing faggot, making a lot of money, having a successful career, spending a lot of money doesn't make an interesting and useful life at all. Yes goy, stay in you mom's basement masturbating to trap porn, that's hella more interesting and benefiting to society.

>"wealth and success doesn't make you happy"

Ok leo. So if you arent happy with wealth and success, why are you still acting? Why dont you give away the wealth? Why dont you pursue what DOES make you happy? Why do you keep going on sweet high expense vacations with hot models literally only there for your money?

Oh right, because youre full of shit and love the spotlight and perks that come with being rich and famous.

The point that most anons are missing (primarily due to immaturity) is that the notion of happiness is not a state of constant contentment. Regardless of your place in life, you will have good days and bad days.

The people that think wealth and fame will make them happy are falling victim to the classic grass is always greener fallacy in which the observer implies perfection on to someone or thing and contrasts their own lives with it.

Most of you need to growp up and realize that being depressed sometimes is fucking fine. It happens to everyone. No one is perpetually happy. Money won't change that. An important job won't change that. Moving to a new city won't change that. Sometimes life sucks, sometimes it's great and learning not to expect all highs will keep you from falsely believing that other people have some happiness that you don't.

feels dicaprio now

When will these kids learn that after being a millionaire half of your life or even a few years, money don't mean anything to you. You cannot enjoy being wealthy because it's something you're thoroughly familiar with and take for granted, just like people don't enjoy being healthy... it's not something you think about. It's the same with everything. Start banging supermodels like DiCaprio all day long. You thin after a few months or year, your 100th model pussy will feel like the first one. No, it will feel just as trivial as when you were jerking in a tissue.

>success doesn't make you happy

this is the stupidest thing I've ever read

hope its a fake quote

I had no idea basement dwellers were so envious of success. I just assumed they'd be the most likely to be able to let it go. Everything he says it right power and money bring no happiness.

But it's important to have the introspection to realize how incredibly fortunate you are to have those things... I mean I wouldn't say I'm "happy" to be a normal guy in a first world country because as you said I'm used to it but I'm sure as fuck glad I'm not a starving nigger in Africa or something. Likewise Leo should be glad he's not just a normal guy and has all that wealth and fame.

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

I'd sure like to try it out anyway.

really makes you contemplate life and realise how unfortunate it must be to be a world famous multi-millionaire that snores coke from 10/10 supermodels on his yacht somewhere around an exotic island with tropical wather and whisky for $2000 a bottle.
damn, poor Leo...after all he is just one of us

It's always fantastic hearing the same tired bullshit about how money doesn't bring you happiness from someone rich. Like really faggot? How about you give me all your money and you live with a 9 to 5 being unable to do whatever the fuck you want should the mood strike you? I'm not living a terrible life, but I'd be way happier with a few million in my pocket just going wherever and doing whatever I'd like.

you would literally be just as unhappy, you're deluded if you think your level of happiness is simply because you can't buy enough things

None of those things make anyone happy. All the "rich" people I've met or worked for are miserable losers rotting in their giant private prisons. They delusion themselves into thinking more will fix things or make them more happy. They all deserve it for wanting it. And I hope you become rich so you too, can see it.

stop shitposting leo

I'd be much happier. I am much happier right now than I was a year ago. Do you know what changed since a year ago? My wages doubled. I can now afford more things and live more comfortably.

If you think your money has no bearing on your happiness then feel free to donate it to me. Until then shut the fuck up.

well he does get taxed to shit so yeah i'd be sad about that too

Is true

I'm 26 making 60000€ a year and next year I'll lead a team and make 70000€

I'm not happy, contemplating suicide

>live more comfortably
I agree to most poverty is uncomfortable, but once you get the wages to live comfortable more won't take away your troubles or personal issues.

same but films instead of vidya

but it sure would be nice to have a fridge that dispenses ice and water whenever I want

>60000€ a year

Hahahaha

Give me all your money then.

lol, dude i got a phd in math, i could get any job i want and still make 300k starting

Who makes more than that straight after university?

You aint got hobbies or somethin to engage your intellect?

Sure you could bro.

You're full of shit. I work in banking and nobody starts on 300k except executive level, you fucking moron.

Fucking all those models while being on eternal vacation must suck

But spending does

I'm not saying that money will fix all your personal issues. No, it doesn't make your brain shoot serotonin out like a fucking firehose. But it will give you all the tools necessary to please yourself. There is no situation where you would prefer to be poorer, all things equal. Are you a suicidal rich person? Guess what, you'd be a suicidal poor person too. Difference is as a rich person you can afford a great shrink.

If I had a few million dollars, I could live in a nice home and research anything and everything I desire. I could see all the films I want, play all the games I want, and catch up on all the literature the world has to offer. I could see sights, see people, and find out things I've never known. I can still do these things now, but it is very, very difficult because of the time I have to spend every week working. Anyone who claims that having more money is not beneficial is at the least being an obfuscating faggot.

it doesn't matter, though there are quite a few people, the point is you're unhappy cause you don't have more money.

I'm not rich but I have more than enough to afford nice things, like cars and apartments and vacations.

And I'll be making north of 100k € once I'm 30, anyway. It's trivial.

...

Can you spare a hundred to a bro? ;^) It would save my life.

I'd really like to know because when I started out in investment banking I was making £40k and that salary was frozen for two years.

I smell bullshit.

Who /sadboys/ here?

Holy shit that salary sucks. I started out at $75,000 which was the cap for analysts. You must have worked at fucking Morgan Stanley haha

i earned $65K second year after college, i was 23. computer science bachelor's degree. it's all about where you live.

but yeah it doesn't make me happy at all. nothing does really.

...but an oscar does!

That's pounds, it's equivalent to yours in dollars actually so you see that I'm not far off yours and yes that was Analyst salary but not at MS.

Now consider that €60k is a lot more than $75k, and it's not capped like for us Analysts, so I'd say we got the shit end of the deal.

Though of course banking has more potential down the line.

>how to spot the newfag

Fuck happy.
Are you content?

Hey, I hope so too

not really, i tend to be sad. also i'm your typical social autist, so i'm not good with people. i think i could be content if i just got along with people.

I usually joke about this but in all seriousness you should jump off a cliff

Where you live does matter.

$65k in NYC is shit, but €65k in Europe is a lot.

i've honestly though about it. my parents live close to some hills, and i visit quite often and usually hike around while taking pictures. it would be quite easy to jump off one of the ridges, probably like 200 meters down into a pile of rocks, while making it look like an accident. who knows.

>but €65k in Europe is a lot.

You realize 95% of Europeans earn less than that right?

>make €65k
>required by the state to "donate" half of it to the local Sharia Shelter

How can you be rich and unhappy unless you have a mental disorder?

You can travel the world with no money worries. Go anywhere you want. Experience gorgeous nature. Buy some house next to a lake and relax.

If you seek some kind of fulfilment you can learn any skill you want by hiring the best private tutors and fully focus on something without a job to worry about.

Or you can donate money and help causes you believe in.

I am also sure you meet enough decent rich people to make friendships with.

So where is the problem?

bet those digits made you happy

Well no, don't jump off a cliff like suggested. Being social entails talking about everyday boooring shit. At least on an anonymous board you get to communicate on topics you at least like. I am a sociable person, and I fake it most of the time. People are generally fuckin idiots.
Well anyway I hope you find contentment.
Happiness is overrated and is also a lie.

europe is a very diverse continent, nyc i one city. it's a terrible comparison.

#JustChadMillionairProblems

Well I wasn't talking about fucking Monaco, and believe it or not our industry isn't in cities anywhere near as expensive as NYC.

We just don't have huge living expenses disparities, at all. Ask anyone living in Europe he'll tell you €65k is high income class. Google it.

>I am a sociable person, and I fake it most of the time.
me too but i hate it. i prefer to be myself, but then people hate me so it's worse in the long run. i need to be social in any sense or i get really depressed. i'm not actually going to kill myself, my parents don't deserve to bury a son like that.

Just fake it with your family.
They're the only relationships you need to care about.
For the rest, fuckem.

>We
who "we"? new yorkers? or are you one of those retards that compare america to europe again.

40,000 pounds is only about 52,000 USD. You definitely should have tried to negotiate your starting salary man. But being in banking is nice regardless of salary since we're always needed and will always make money with minimal work.

I work at CERN on physics that will change the world some day and earn about 140k € per year but i don't care about the money.
It's all about doing what you love for me.

Might not be a guarantee, but it sure as hell makes it a lot easier to be happy though.

i fucking hate media and jews so much

Not at the exchange rate when I was earning it.

There isn't much negotiation, they're fixed figures for career starters.

It's all too easy and predictable, they miss being fearful and axious for losing their jobs, or their girlfriend. They miss being treated like shit by others, they miss having plans and something to work for.

pour quoi

You're hardly at the start of your career. If I'm 40 and making just 140k I'd probably kill myself.

Yeah well being a poor failure doesn't exactly make you ecstatic either.

OY VEY DON'T TRY TO BE SUCCESSFUL
fuck leo, fuck him in the ass, and fuck everyone who believes he is right

I'm a poor failure, but I take pleasure in the fact that my successful friends seem to have it worse with stress, failed relationships and literal suicides. At least I'm fairly happy.

This. Id much rather be a depressed millionaire then whatever I am now

...

>happiness is relative
wow welcome to 9th grade psychology class

didn't know Sup Forums was filled with simple minded plebs who can't think beyond physical possessions
