When did you realise that money is literally the only thing worth having in this world, and that all quantifiable levels of happiness and power can be traced directly to it?
Reading, physically training, creative expression are all wasted time and resources in comparison to the pursuit of money. You'd sacrifice them all for 10x your current savings, and you know it.
You can't play the game if you don't know the rules.
I would argue that health is literally the only thing worth having.
You can be rich and dead at the same time, what would your wealth be worth then?
Wyatt Hernandez
Would you rather be a depressed billionaire who can afford round-the-clock treatment, or poor but happy all the time?
Ayden Powell
Literally every person I know who is extremely wealthy is either depressed, alcoholic, or both. As a lawyer, most of my clients are fairly well off, and they're some of the unhappiest people in the world.
Elijah Jones
Happy.
Key word there, is happy.
Cooper Brooks
10x zero is still zero
Grayson Martin
Money is a tool, and so is OP.

You sound like anime
Mason Sanchez
I have plenty of money but I spend it on reading, training, and creative expression because money in itself is not an end. It is a means.
Not money. Control of resources is the real gold pill. Money is just a medium that communicates the real power.
Ian Young
The problem is that nowadays wealth and power are not allocated to the objectively best and strongest individuals, as it happened in the distant evolutionary past or not so distant warrior-leader tribal societies.
You have recessive inheritors, underhanded manipulators or just scum fortunate enough to be born in a privileged country/society where they earn far more than they actually deserve (this is a lengthy discussion far outside of the scope of this board).
Parasitic "careers" and "professions", "lobbysts", bankers, brokers, "social" "sciences" and other non-productive life forms will meet their end in the future, for a multitude of reasons.
However, there is a cut-off point for money - power or money - hapiness correlation. Once tycoons run into deep state, underground/mafia; their wealth means nothing. Likewise, degenerate and inferior people who have never received quality and proper upbringing will never be truly happy and live a fulfilled existence.

Because, after fulfilling their desire for money, they finally realise how pointless and empty the world truly is. Everyone else is too busy achieving to discover this reality.
But when they do, oh they fail hard. Or find religion.
Jonathan Bell
You're close to the point. Existence is the only thing worth having. Although that itself has proven to be less preferable without being qualified by health/wealth/whatever.
Alexander Robinson
Honestly I won't mind the adventure. It will be worth it in the end.
Ian Fisher
>money No. WEALTH and POWER. And it's even more meaningless if you can't pass it on successfully to your offspring, and train your offspring to pass it on to their offspring, etc...
However immortality is coming soon and that'll take precedence.
Eli Hill
GEE MONEY IS IMPORTANT
OP IS A GENIUS
WOW
MADE ME THINK
Yeah the only problem is that being fit, socializing and developing skills are all under our control, you can't simply decide to get rich and you get it, its not a choice, and anyone who believes this is either a bullshit spreader motivational speaker or a delusional idiot giving them money.
