I became a millionaire fairly recently. I noticed I spend less money overall on technology. I just don't give a fuck. I run Linux happily. I find it hard to get remotely happy let alone excited over new technology. It's like they know they can do better but choose to release garbage. I get that they're trying to get a roi, but like just release something amazing. I feel like even by then, I still won't care because of all the bullshit that every company on earth has done. It's like they want us to hate technology...
>>103191519Hardware developments are exciting but it is a fundamental law of nature that every increase in hardware capability will be accompanied by an increase in software shittiness

I think the problem with being a rich guy into PCs is that you can't really get a much better PC than a regular guy because they don't existlike there's no rich guy PC that costs a million dollars and is 10 times faster the way there's rich guy cars

amazing technology cost are r&d and theres very few neets willing to be the sacrificial lamb at the altar of corporations to give them that r&d for free.If they want new tech put up r&d bounties atleast.

>>103191519>I find it hard to get remotely happy let alone excited over new technology/oldrich/ here. Welcome to stage 1. You will start to find it hard to get happy over more and more things until nothing give you that kick of joy anymore. Then you'll take it to these hobbies, one by one in cumulative fashion:-travelling-golfing-boats-whoresand when that isn't enough, you'll turn to more harmful and illegal shit, if you can afford it-violence-"younger" whores (if you know what I mean)-dark/illegal fetishesonce past this stage you can go only in one of two ways:-you have turn in your life and start tunneling your money into charities to evade taxes and redeem your soulor-you start climbing the Masonry ladder while becoming less and less human in the processof course you'll learn that there never was a choice to begin with.Remember this post, this will happen to you over the next decades. I guarantee it. The only way to prevent it is to stop being rich.

>>103193640Before you can be rich, you must be poor
>>103192107thats not quite true. rich guys can buy hundreds of the same cpu/gpu to find a golden sample that overclocks far higher than the average guy's and destroy them in benchmarks
millionaire but your user agent says android
>>103191519It's because once you have reached true financial freedom that doesn't require the participation in society, you no longer need the same distractions to keep you from killing yourself on a daily basis.It's that simple, really.
>>103193593Sounds like being rich isn't worth it then.
>>103191519I didn't have to become a millionaire to reach that point though, happy for you however.
>>103191519Bet. Tech really no longer improves living, it seems to make it actively worse.
>>103191529fippybippy
>>103193593>-golfing>-boatsBoring for boring white people.
>>103193593I think imma skip all that and just go directly into the masonry part. I'm not like mega rich just yet, but my money is turning profits. It was fun at first. I learned a few things. -money is like a pickup truck, when you have it, everyone else wants it and wants to control it-it's not hard to make money, but you could easily go broke, so play the long game-i thought that once I had money I'd be happier. I'd rather have it than not, but problems magnify. -I'm not the only one with that much money. -some people at best are fair weather friends. The moment you tell them no, they turn on you. You make new friends but you dislike them. We may know each other irl. Because...-it's a small fucking world. Don't fuck up. Even if you're rich, the places you'll want to do business with, may not serve you if you get blacklisted. I might fly out to the United Kingdom tomorrow and buy a Kingsman suit like Richard Wallis suggested to me. They look really comfy.
>>103195662you cannot have the mindset of an applefag to become a millionaire
>>103199504Rich black people don't stay rich for very long. They usually have white managers. They're often pawns with contracts with the Jews. They're never self made.
>>103195662That's because the Vertu runs Android poorfag.
>>103193593good larp, since it makes the plebs hate the rich, and perhaps, some day, eat them.alas, it's complete bullshit for most of us. I do taste delicious thoever.
>>103201089Op here, I don't think it's a larp. Could be though. Once you enter this world, you invest. You get returns on those investments and live off of the dividends. I have a lot more free time than I thought I would. There's vast swaths of time where I'm doing nothing. I can afford anything I want but I'm bored as fuck. Video games only hold your interest for so long. When you're not stressed all the time, you don't need an escape. I might try golf.
>>103191529fipo bipo
>>103201130I just buy Vertu computers and phones as they work best with my Mercedes S class and my smart home. Apple products are for niggers who pretend to have money.
>>103201121Your problem isn't that you're rich, it's that your lonely and aimless.You could pretend that didn't matter when you had to take part in the rat race, but that's no longer the case.Take your time. Find a purpose to your life. Find your person. Or persons.I guarantee you it's not going to be diddling kids and murdering hobos.
>>103201130Oh and my Cessna 247. They don't even make the app to start my plane for iOS.
>>103191519Technology is a tool, the entertainment or consumption part is related to other areas.If you're a millionaire, there's no reason why you should care. You don't need anything because you don't have to work anymore. It's time to devote yourself to other activities.Also>>103191529This
>>103191869This, all the chads are playing irl Dexter laboratory while the software virgins spend 24 hours staring at a screen. >>103197824Jesus said this
>>103201143Yeah, I can't just go anywhere anymore. I used to go to the bar with friends and it was fun. My wife left me. Friends fucked off. Ikr oh poor me, all this money. Still hurts that people turned on me. I won the lottery, and paid to keep it private. I invested right away instead of "helping people" ... My wife thought she'd get half by divorcing me. The judge was good though and said that because the money was sudden, and that she's using the courts for profit, she was awarded nothing. Family court gave her the kids though. That hurt a lot. Sorry for trauma dumping. I did the whole "buy everything I dreamed of"... Didn't help. I still don't understand why she left. I got an ugly woman though, and she's been super great. Super sweet. So I shower her with whatever she wants. She's cheap. She just wants plushies. I got her a nice PC and a nice phone and a nice car. Not to buy her love, but to show how much I appreciate her just being here. I'm not a pedo. I promise. That shit is gross. >Once you get money you'll fuck kidsNo, I won't. The thought sickens me. It's nice to live in a house I'm not perpetually paying for though. There's a lot of positives. To anyone reading this, if you come into money here's some pointers that will help you not go broke. Don't help people. Learn the word no. Invest and divest immediately. Talk to a credit union. Get with a broker who has you in mind. There's a lot of good rich people out there. You don't have to be evil. If you want to help people, start a charity. It helps with the taxes. Remember though, you're paying into something whether it be taxes or charity. You're not getting away Scott free. But you do get to pick where that money ends up. Your broker will help. Last but not least, forget your friends and family because they'll forget you. People get funny. The envy monster is real. They'll pretend for a while. You'll go to the bar for a while. Until they tell you to leave. They'll eventually hate you.
>>103201196See>>103201135 & >>103201144The app to start my car and plane only exists for Vertu phones. Tell me you're a poorfag without telling me you're a poorfag.

>>103201237Hey fellow rich fag. I think all newrich go through this with people. -don't get into spending contests. Flexing is fun but it can be dangerous. -don't gamble. Going to a casino is never good but it's easy to lose your pants.-don't be public with your money. I mean it's already public enough. What you say is true about not being able to go anywhere. It's dangerous as fuck to to to Wal-Mart for example. I had a friend who worked at Walmart. He got into Bitcoin. Made like 4 mil and turned it into 80 mil in a few months. He continued to work for Wal-Mart, said he liked it. People found out he had money, he liked to tell people. Some didn't believe him, but some did. They broke into his home and robbed him. Despite the security system and them catching the thieves, why risk the stress? -prepare to get sued. If this hasn't happened yet, it will. Vertu offers legal help, I saw you mention Vertu, go into the concierge app, at the bottom where it says "contact for legal help". This isn't just if you get arrested. A good lawyer will start at 70k. I like the ones from Vertu. They're pleasant to work with. Anyway keep pumping the investments. Don't stop. Big numbers are fun. Join an investment strategy group. It can be stuffy but, those oldfags know how to turn 10 mil into 200 mil in like 8 months. They do it for fun. It's all legal. Like you said, you don't have to be evil.
>>103201389Oh and one last thing, don't hire a cleaning person or a cook. Clean your house and cook for yourself. Never lose touch with reality. If it gets out of hand, sure hire someone to get it back into order, but do it yourself. It'll give you stuff to do.
>>103191529Apple products are for poor people trying to look rich. Rich moms buy iPads for their kids. Not because they're rich, but because they're essentially useless. We view apple products like v-tech toys. Apple products don't integrate into rich fag lives. I guess that's one thing evenone can agree on, apple products are garbage tier that only toddlers and niggers use.
>>103201135>Apple products are for niggers who pretend to have money.wow. Now i'm starting to believe you.
>>103201633this but unironically
>>103201662cope
>>103201662I'm so poor that I can't even afford the thought of owning an apple product and yet I'm very happy with my android and AMD laptop. Being poor is always better than being dumb and rich, I guess.

>>103191519Just dont get married.I was in the same state as you but once I started dating and got involved with women, I started using windows then bought Macbook and iPhone.That was the beginning of my ruin. My intelligence faltered and I became a normie bluepilled consumer who just wanted comfort.Now I am divorced, lost my money and house to that whore. This event really opened my eyes. Once women went away from my life and I stopped interacting with them altogether my life became much better, I became healthy and mentally resilient. Back to using linux and android. I am home.Fuck modernity, fuck women, fuck society.

>>103201246>you won this time.jpgBut every time I imagine myself in this situation, I realize that technology is of no use to me. Before AI became a meme, my dream was to be a developer of intelligent algorithms, but today, with what we have, I realize that my dream has always been to work with AI's guts; its results don't interest me.
>>103191519>It's like they know they can do better but choose to release garbage.I feel you.I just "upgraded" my tablet from a fire hd8 2017 to a samsung tab a9 and it has been a nightmare to use.the ergonomy of "modern" android is absolute dogshit to use with a mouse and keyboard, the new scoped storage make every disk io an incredibly slow process, recent versions of the software I use have clearly downgraded in usability with noticeable input latency, battery is also horrible (I disable basically everything, I don't even have a google or samsung account and no networking).android definitely peaked in 5.1 and no body can prove me wrong, i've been feeling the same with my pixel 7 since I've got it but it's less annoying as I barely use it beyond messages, calls and ocasional photos whereas I use my tablet everyday.I can understand why youngs are depressed if all they ever use to interact with computers is these dogshit mobile OSes, the experience is incredibly frustrating and i can feel the hatred piling up inside of me, I miss the days tech was developed by people who cared about it, san andreas fault can't snap fast enough so all these ameridogs devs can disappear to the worlds below.

Reading this 'advice from richfags', I can tell it's real. It's written by someone who's legitimately typing a stream of consciousness the lessons they learned and want to pass on in good faith.It's so depressing that there are people literally walking around every day that could change my entire life and the lives of my descendants with a single check and no trouble to themselves at all. I don't ever expect this to happen because, well, I'm not fucking delusional. However it's a powerful concept to briefly grasp in its entirety before the rational part of your brain shuts it down to protect you. Fuck. I wanted to be the man I felt I was born to be, but I'm 27 with nothing to show for it and a fiance who's clearly realizing I won't make it big. At least she's happy with me as a person.
>>103211725stop pretending we live in a meritocracy idiot. its all about looks, luck and how well connected you are. i am doing work as a freelancer somebody in a company could charge thousands per month for and its kept me busy and im annoyed cause ive bern meaning to look into other things.stuff that actually coukd get me to where i want to be. atm skimming, phishing, scams, credit card fraud thats how you make it when youre an autistic or ugly short cripple son of a bitch retard.
>>103211812Funnily enough, I am handsome. I'm smart too. I was just unlucky.Raised in a house in the middle of the woods to an abusive mother who got herself outcasted from any family who might have given a shit about me. I'm literally just unlucky. No resources from the word go and I actually, foolishly, tried to be a good person on top of all of that. I actually thought I could get high up from nothing while being a nice person. Not a 'nice guy', just a decent person I guess. Shit sucks, but it is what it is.

>>103191519Same, materialism is soulless bugmen shit. My family constantly asks me why I dont litter random consumer garbage everywhere when they come to visit. Like all there is to life is buying random stuff for these golems. Last time I gave them a credit card they went out and filled my place up with a bunch of bullshit I had to throw to the road afterwards because it was dragging me down. Poor people will never understand
>>103214253>My family constantly asks me why I dont litter random consumer garbage everywhere when they come to visit.What do you mean?Could you please give us a few examples of sentences they might say in this regard?

>>103199504They're just ways to find people of a similar class and escape from poorfags. It's like how 4chan used to be a secret club for middle-class white american nerds, but now it's full of 3rd worlders and poorfags. It's the old richfag way of finding and meeting friends and shooting the shit with the boys. Golf is also actually a great hobby once you learn it. There's a pretty definite learning curve to it and you can measure your improvement by gauging your distance and accuracy at a practice range or indoor range, which makes it easy to objectively track your improvement early on.
>>103191519My computer is 6 years old my phone is 8 years old. I am not upgrading until they break and become too expensive to repair. Modern technology is terrible i hate it, it doesn't get better only worse. There's nothing to look forward to in this area.
>>103201246>Tell me you're a poorfag without telling me you're a poorfag.Imagine being a supposed millionaire and parroting this zoomer meme. If you expected anyone to take you seriously, forget it after making yourself look like a tikcuck faggot.Speak like a man or go back.
>>103201237how the hell does your family even find out you won the lottery if you PAID for this to not be revealed? fix that inconsistency in your larp next time
>>103211725Nigger, I've never been rich (just upper middle class) and I knew literally every single thing they've mentioned from simply reading accounts of people who won the lottery. Even fucking reddit has read about these. Stop sucking larper dick, it's sad.

Casio does the same.Porsche? Corolla will do for now.20 acre mansion? Suburbs on a good block for now.Designer clothes? good color combos from discount stores.Enjoy your wealth by spending on experiences, whatever that may be for you. Don't post about them, don't brag about them, just live them and continue your normal routine. I don't really enjoy travel and just like going to steakhouses and sitting close to up front at big events whenever I feel like it.as for the OP question, yea, there haven't been any great advances in hardware. invest the time and planning into a really comfortable+aesthetic desk setup if you are at your computer all the time. it'll feel like a bigger upgrade than new hardwaret. millionaire who wears clothes from Marshall's and drives a Corolla

One piece of advice that has changed my life is "If you're bored, you are boring." >>103193593 already mentioned charities as something richfags do to buy conscience, but if you have enough money to do what you want, have you considered doing something just for fun? Personally I'd start/fund open source projects I like, or just hire a team to make my dream games/movies, but in general the point is to use your wealth to DO stuff instead of being just a bigger than usual consumer.
>>103225336>Porsche? Corolla will do for now.Oh please nigga. A 10 year old Porsche base model is much better than a brand new fully loaded Corolla
>>103225336Assuming your larps are real, I fucking wish I had your money. I legitimately enjoy driving cars for the thrill of driving them, and that means driving ugly ass farted up shitboxes too, which sometimes are more expensive than Porsches. A Porsche would be fun to drive too.The whole shit about burning out from buying top basic bitch shit means you were a boring ass person with no hobbies to begin with. Some people have actual ambitions, interests and things they can legitimately enjoy for an entire lifetime.
>>103223270.t recently became millionaire as well> How do you strike a balance between hiding your wealth and enjoying it?I never felt the need to display status. I think Rolex watches look ugly and expensive cars are stupid.Actually I don't even own a car. I unironically use public transport + occasional taxi/uber.> the wallmart dude was smart for still working thereI still work at my old job. But I don't take it very seriously and only do what I want. What also changed is that I say what I think even if it is politically incorrect and I stopped caring too much about offending people. As a result I got a promotion. lol...> 99% of women WILL waste your time and moneyThat's why you simply use escorts.The contract is 100% clear and you can bang high quality super model chicks with large variety.4 hours is only 1k bucks or something. I would make that amount of money just passively with my investments within 2 days.
