I mean, if you have a lot of capital, the amount of existential press diminishes, right? So you are fully entitled to sit in a meadow and meditate though the rest of your life. What else would you want to do?

I would open a spiritual newage healing clinic if I wanted to do something more.

You never "have enough" of money. You are always greedy for more. For example see the wealthiest people- do they seem like they're not trying to earn more money?

I think people are boring, wealth brings options that's all.

What many people do when they have money is do the same thing as before just a more expensive version of it....money is wasted on people like that and they often find themselves just as unhappy with it.

No, it's not boring. What's boring is working a 9-5 that pays shit like most of us. If you have free time due unlimited wealth and dont know what to do what's boring is the person, not the rest of the world.

Wealth..boring?? Are you kidding me? If you have a lot of money you work only when you want and you do what you love. Yes,there are dumb persons who really don't know what to do with money,but there are so many things to experience in this world that a life is not enough. Also there are some people like Bill Gates or R.I.P. Steve Jobs who want to remain in history for their actions,not neccessarily to make more money.

i think it depends most of all on how much wealth you have. if you are filthy rich beyond imagination it can get boring in long time, that is why there are bored millionaires seeking weird kinds of thrills just to keep themselves from getting too bored!

Weak hands have been complaining about missing out ever since bitcoin was $1 and never buy the dip.
Whales are those who keep buying the dip.

If wealth is boredom, I wish to have a lot of boredom in my life.

As people said you are never satisfied, and you do whatever you please... So you end up trying to earn more wealth. Not that boring if you ask me.

i believe it is, if you have already everything that you need, in your life, and it's better to not have everything at once, otherwise there will be no more meaning in living your life, and without a meaning, it is as if you are died

this does not mean that you should struggle and remain poor, but the right compromise is necessary

Once you get past a certain point wealth becomes a type of point scoring for the people who've really gone for it.

I wouldn't be too bothered about insane riches, just enough to be able to put potential worries to bed and be allowed the freedom to know I could do what I wanted when I wanted.

Instead of boredom, it might permit you the time and space to find your true passion and freely pursue it.

While I think it's logical to assume that there is diminishing marginal utility to wealth there is little to suggest that it is ever negative.  Even altruism, or donating money, or like you said, your new age health clinic, are enabled by "excess" wealth.

Having said that, it's good to have a goal and be realistic about how much money is enough.

I don't know if capital could be boring. It's what you choose to do with it that determines if good or boring.

Some is good investments not the most exciting but needs done.   If you do something like you mention to help others that would make most feel good.

just ask yourself:

why are people like Elon Musk, Bill Gates and Marc Andresen still working?

their main motivation is success and not wealth. so yes, wealth alone is boring i would say.

Would wealth be boring?  Probably not!  I mean a fast car to drive, vacations to exotic locations, not boring.

Is it fulfilling?  That would probably be a no.  Even the most materialistic person would have to admit STUFF brings no happiness in life.

I don't think I'd ever be bored. If I was wealthy, I'd probably be looking for ways to keep that capital moving and that is never a boring thing to do.

Wealth is wonderful. But is important who is wealthy. If the money are in the hands of criminals then this is a sin. If the money are in the hands of a labor people then they will work that the wealth be joined not only by them but for other (work) people too.

I think we can understand why you're on food stamps. lol

Wealth can be boring. When you have enough money to live well and no job to entertain you every day you can get bored. You can't even use a hooker all day every day. I need a hooker about 15 minutes a day, then I need 8 hours of sleep and have 15 3/4 hours of free time. lol

Wealth can be measured in various ways.
Some people consider themselves wealthy when they have a lot of IOUs and some consider themselves wealthy when they have a lot of knowledge, love, etc.

To the point: If you feel bored, it's because you are boring Wink
