Why is it so common for successful and wealthy people to say it's not all that at the top, and lonely and even depressed? With all fancy cars, houses, and cool shit?
>>
>>62428836
Because things don't make you happy. Once you're past the point of struggling to meet basic needs, more stuff isn't going to fill the void. Creampies in cute girls fills that void though.

They don't want you to kill them out of envy. Next question.
>>
>>62428836
When you have money you have friends, when you are poor you have poor friends. With money you can have nice things, but nice things do not replace actuall living life. The best life is young thots who think a few hundred dollars is a lot of money. When they start asking for a few thousand you get rid of them and get new thots.

Redditors are communist losers.

You're a loser who looks at the bloodsuckers on your skin and says, "yep they worked hard for that"
>>
Because from my experience you dont know if friends & family or women fuck with you because your're geniune or because you can finaically change their lives. Warren buffet is a master manipulator. Saying being rich with friends is successful. Nobody want to be his friend because he is warren. He is delusional.

You welfare faggots are the only bloodsuckers on my skin.

Humans need other humans. Once you're safe and fed you want to share your safety and food with others, specifically, young pretty girls. If you can't do that then all the toys and luxury and status mean nothing. A game isn't fun without someone else to play with in your big fancy life.
>>
>>62428836
Because you can only drive so many fancy cars, travel the world, go thrill seeking, etc. before it all looks and feels the same. Thats why richfags end up becoming a bunch of degenerate satanists who, after having done it all, eventually graduate into raping and sacrificing kids. The ones who don’t get into that end up kys themselves due to depression after they realize money doesn’t buy happiness
>>
>>62428956
You are poor.

>>62429072
Wrong, simp. I am glad girls are struggling as much as the men are.
>>
>>62428836
It’s to keep the masses pacified and to help them cope. Obviously a rich person isn’t going to brag about how awesome their life is, as it would only contribute to the anger of the peasants and risk a revolution

The instant you get rich you can't trust anyone

Most people just want something from you.

People don't really like you for your personality, they like your money. You can't date because you'll never know if someone loves you or is just after your money. Your friends and family all treat you differently. Not as an equal, but as either a superior or an alien. Many of them are jealous and resent you. Very few people will relate to your problems, and once you're rich everyone assumes you don't have any problems, or don't deserve to feel bad about anything anymore.

it's extremely lonely. It's very shitty.

it has its perks, but meaningful personal relationships aren't usually one of them.
>>
>>62428836
There's also the problem of having done something none of your friends and family have done. They don't understand what you did, and they don't care.

you've done something amazing, something that taught you things nobody else knows. But nobody cares about that. Everyone assumes getting rich is easy and doesn't require any special knowledge. They think it's just a matter of luck.

but once you're rich you know what it takes and that's a very lonely bit of knowledge. It's like writing a series of novels or running on foot around the entire globe. Nobody knows what you had to do and nobody cares.

you have to be extremely comfortable with yourself to get rich, because almost nobody else is going to relate.

People have to do really mean and regretful things to reach the top.
>>
>>62429430
If you're not naturally comfortable with doing stuff that other people consider bad, you're never going to get rich in the first place.

Not a lot of regretful rich people because that sort of softness stops you from ever getting rich.
>>
>>62428836
You have an objectively better life than 99% of monarchs 500 years ago did and you're sad, lonely, and depressed.
I'd bet that a normie born 1000 years from now will have a much better life than Elon does now, and they'll still bitch because they can only afford the Tesla WaifuSexBot 6000 instead of the Tesla WaifuSexBot 9000. It's all relative.
>>
>>62429436
true. I'm just thinking that maybe some people start to reflect on their past once you reach the top and things slow down.

I''m guessing many at the top are clinically psychopathic, but some are just normal people that got into the game.
>>
>>62429439
autistic psychopathy is pretty common. A lot or rich people are mildly autistic.

narcissistic psychopaths are also quite common. It's rare to meet a self-made rich person that agrees with the morality of society in general.
>>
Because the hedonic treadmill is real.

Money DOES improve overall happiness, but once you have enough money to buffer bad problems at least 6 months into the future adding more money doesn't really help.

Sure you can inject more money into your life, consume luxuries and do more stuff, but the happiness benefit will be brief and you'll adjust to it til you feel just like you were before. Sooner or later you'll run into one of the many problems of life you can't solve with money and you'll feel just as unhappy because you're back at baseline.

Get to middle class so you have room to breath and then start working on your mental and physical health.

i have neither

>>62428836
probably because they know how the world REALLY works and it's depressing knowing how much it's a scam, usually being a scammer themselves, some kind of rich-guilt
>>
>>62428836
Well most people are poor so why do you think they wouldn't be lonely?

>>62429404
wahhh being rich and successful is so hard. shut up retard. you would fall for anything. it irritates me how pathetic your type is
>>62429437
>your life is better than powerful figureheads that lived in palaces and estate with dozens to hundreds of servants and could wage war and conquer countries as a hobby they pursue during lunchtime, with endless concubines

>t. rich and successful
>>
>>62428836
Because it's a popular thing to say.

I'm rich, 8 figures. Money's really fucking nice.

Maybe you're lonely if you have really shitty network and didn't get your money from being successful or from your family. Like if you're some poorfag living in a trailerpark and then get a 9 figure lottery payout and broadcast the fact you're going to have a shitty time. You have low social capital friends and you probably suck as a person so you're going to be really bad. You might make consumption itself like an end goal and if you have a bunch of drug fueled orgies or something shit could go really bad for you.

If you're a successful person then you generally make friends. If you founded as successful company you'll meet other successful people who join your company or work in the industry or finance you and connect with them personally.

>With all fancy cars, houses, and cool shit?

Hopefully it's not consumption itself you're fixating on, because if all you try to do is spend as much money as possible it's never really going to work for you

Almost all the replies ITT are further evidence of exactly how overrun this place is with subhumans

No one wants to be friends with anyone just because they're "them". But Bill Gates hangs out with Warren because he likes him and they can relate to shit.
