Having money in general is the best for gaining financial freedom, as for paying bills and not having additional income in your pockets unfortunately sucks. What do y'all think?

Lack of money would only make your life miserable

quickranger-40

Money grants autonomy which in turn makes people happier

quickranger-40

Financial freedom is a game changer

wildgarden-86

Who said money cant buy happiness u can travel the world have new experiences except buying things as of your wish but why not if you have money because u have got one life and u cant add more days to your life but u can add more life to your days so why not earn money spend on what you want not for those mfs who like to spend on those useless stuffs like alcohols and cigs, take care of your family fulfill your parents dream buy things for them that's is

U all need a men tu or like andrew tate

quickbadger-36

Money makes me happy

warmpanda-50

💯

sharpdolphin-67 OP

Money = Financial Freedom
Looks like we all agree here

quickranger-40

The only thing money changes is the clothes you wear, food you eat, houses you live in, cars you drive, and places you travel to

quickranger-40

Also one could argue how healthy you are but that’s debatable imo

sharpdolphin-67 OP

Housing rn is so trash in America its like not even affordable atp

sharpdolphin-67 OP

Traveling is good once in awhile
Food water all the necessities
Sometimes its good to have limits on stuff you want to buy buy

goldenranger-95

People would do everything for money, and that materialism is considered "miserable". Though I'm sure almost all people who talk about money making you miserable would put themselves in the same miserable state if they get the chance to get some easy cash. Would it make you truly happy? Sure you will disagree with me, but In my opinion, no. Money gives you temporary "happiness", until you start wanting to make even more money, and even more and more and etc.
Even when you can finally afford everything you've thought of, you will start looking for things that you don't have, something that money cannot buy. Sometimes it ends up bad with really rich people, like actors, singers, etc - we already have real life examples.
Anyway, money is just a really powerful tool

sharpdolphin-67 OP

I like this
Like me myself and I
I dont ask too much on stuff in general
If i just get my bread up for the situations i need at hand thats what the financial freedom is for
When i see people having so much money being all prepared and seeing em have a house its like dang its a lot of space for just one person unless its a family type of thing but like yeah like feeling debt-free feels like you run the world
Which rn is something that im dealing with atm 💀😵
The real world can be hard but we all gotta face it

quickranger-40

Ppl wanna shit on ppl with money so bad but they would love to be in that position themselves

goldenranger-95

Yeah I mean its not like I'm not a materialistic person myself. I'm a car guy and cars guys are the most materialistic people you can meet lol, just see my pfp

sharpdolphin-67 OP

IDKKK Like money = Freedom 🤣👌

goldenranger-95

Ye well its a basic defense mechanism

quickranger-40

They’re bitter and broke

quickranger-40

Sad excuse for a defense mechanism

sharpdolphin-67 OP

Yeah to me like
All i ever ask for was get a decent car and a gaming pc
And i ended up having both
It do feel good in the end

sharpdolphin-67 OP

Housing is one thing im looking at
But Gen Z’s really got the worse luck of all gens

wildgarden-86

Yeah exactly bro

wildgarden-86

Just gaming gears pcs GPUs and cars wooh

sharpdolphin-67 OP

Sadly for housing as much im an introvert
Its like i wouldnt mind having roommates but usually i like to have quiet lone time for me

wildgarden-86

Oh
Soltide

sharpdolphin-67 OP

😅😅

sharpdolphin-67 OP

Ive had a roommate before
Thankfully he was very chill

goldenranger-95

All financially free, wealthy people aren't really evil, ofcourse there are alot of exceptions, though I'm not talking about this. Financially free, notice, not just rich. Think - low class and middle class people have a higher chance of doing something evil or hurting someone just to earn money, and going a bit off track, yeah money does make you pretty miserable indeed - not when you have it, but when you are chasing it. So yeah, wealthy people don't have that weakness, the desire to earn money, because they already have it

wildgarden-86

U will be get it
Ig u are in college right?

sharpdolphin-67 OP

Went to college a long time ago

wildgarden-86

So what do now
A job?

sharpdolphin-67 OP

Wealthy people just has more freedom in their pockets compare to other social classes out there
Although it is a struggle to live financially for low income families and such its like at the same time they understand the real world that everything here is like a struggle type of thing
Idk what other people has experienced during their early stages of life but man
Adult life in general gets difficult overtime man

sharpdolphin-67 OP

Thats what ive been doing rn 💀💀💀 and its been difficult the job market is getting tuff

sharpdolphin-67 OP

I think its most people tbh

swiftorchid-87

Give a poor child money so he can buy what he always wanted to eat...that happiness would be everything...and only money can bring it

goldenranger-95

Yeah and that's why alot of people weren't prepared to step into adulthood. The problem? It's in their parents. In many families it's rarely talked about money because it's considered a bad topic. Well, money is what rules the world right now and the only way you can survive is to get it, so yeah earning money is not a bad topic

wildgarden-86

Invest your money then earn do some stuffs like dropshipping? Trading? Or something like that dont be in that cycle of 9 to 5 most people just get stuck to it and that's that's the life they wake up everyday go to work come home, sleep the same cycle repeats and the moment they realize it it's already too much late like most probably 50 I'm just giving example so they basically did nothing for themselves

goldenranger-95

Most rich people say it from experience, most poor people say it as an excuse

goldenranger-95

Most people start with a 9 to 5 don't they though

goldenranger-95

Even rich ones

wildgarden-86

Absolutely

sharpdolphin-67 OP

I was actually looking into dropping or trading but it looks difficult to learn into em

sharpdolphin-67 OP

I 2nd that 🙋‍♂️

goldenranger-95

Yeah that's right. So we learn that happiness is in the thing that money gives us. So when we cannot buy something we want with money, even when we have many other things, we become unhappy. People are ungrateful creatures, even to their own success

wildgarden-86

I'm not start a business from day 1 just get your own money stop depending financially on your family so definitely 9 to 5 or a job is required but if you wanna do something beyond it u have that mindset that you have to earn u dont wanna stay fucking average u have to get rich break that cycle take a risk kill your comfort I meant not fully everybody gets burned out everyone needs rest by killing comfort I meant having discipline having mindset to working hard having a tenacity even after rejection still going never giving up even when time is not good if you have this mindset nobody can stop you

sharpdolphin-67 OP

Idk if yall from America but like
UBI is so nice to have rn
After whats going on with AI

goldenranger-95

Yeah that's really what I'm trying to achieve at the moment

wildgarden-86

U are in america bro so its quit easier not the learning I meant the availability to everything if u are thinking trading is risky start with dropshipping but the main thing is having an own desire

wildgarden-86

Yeah absolutely u should earn as much as possibly by 30 as good amt of income then just enjoy your life the life that you always wanted the life that you grinded for

sharpdolphin-67 OP

It looks like a gamble to do trading 🤔

wildgarden-86

Not rlly it's mostly like of share marketing investing so it's not gambling stuff at all
But it rlly requires strategy and skill so it's better to start with dropshipping

And there few more like content creation

wildgarden-86

GPU, cpu mining

sharpdolphin-67 OP

GPU Mining i heard of those ones

wildgarden-86

Idk whether mining still works today or not

wildgarden-86

But freelancing
Not at all I recommended because there is too much competition

wildgarden-86

So dropshipping is the most safest for starting
Once I get my own money I will be starting it

sharpdolphin-67 OP

Dropshipping hmmm
