You work your butt off, and a rich dude does nothing and gets rich - how?

[SW725]

Around 60% of the worlds richest wasnt self made. The money they got now were the money made by their family.

If that's true, what's wrong with that? They'll have to make good investments (and therefore produce for the society) if they want to maintain their wealth.

No lol, you have to be mentally retarded to lose big wealth, once u reach a certain amount of wealth, money grows on trees. Its a scam.

Nothing is wrong I think. The thing is, poor people have to start from way way below from the people who were rich already

That is why, one should love simply. If you will live simply you dont need to work your butt off.

That is not true. Many people who did not earn their wealth (lottery winners, people who inherited a lot of money, ect) end up pissing away their money because they do not understand how to control their spending.

Need to go back to the old ways. If you can accept that you are not going to be rich then you are happy.

[wachtwoord]

This is a rigged system to my eyes.

It is a rigged system in any sane person's eyes. But knowing this is half the battle so enjoy the lead you have on the vast majority of the population.

[ajareselde]

Imagine this:

person A has no money and is working 50% of his time to get paycheck, rest of his time he uses to sleep and be with family. 100% time used

person B has money, and can hire other people to do job instead of him , and he gets his own cut, therefore, he earns money without wasting time to do so, allowing him to spread his business more and more, earning more, and with no time wasted on actually doing anything.

there's also a word for this ; modern slavery.

Sure sure.. Are you saying that people should not embrace change?

[superresistant]

 
But people WANT this slavery.
Look at them ! They fear change and are terrorized by choices.
Most people don't want to be free and chose wage-slavery.
You can complain from wage-slavery but it is quite comfortable.
You do what you are told to do and nothing unexpected will ever happen.
You eat, shit, die.

For one dude succeeding in getting rich, 10 others goes bankrupt.
For those who are born rich, they can only lose what they've been given unless they work their ass off.
Unexpected shit spawn all the time when you manage big money.

Yup, if 1 BTC doesnt make me slave-wage-free in 10 years, im going V for Vendeta in this shit.

It is not slavery because the first person was able to receive a paycheck in exchange for his work. His paycheck is reflective of his skills that he can offer and the skills needed for his job. What you are likely wanting to see is unskilled people being able to make huge sums of money, however this is simply unrealistic.

The reason why the 2nd person is able to make money off of others' backs is because they are risking their own money to hopefully earn a return on their investment. It is not guaranteed that the 2nd person will end up making money, but it is guaranteed the 1st person will make money as long as there is work available.

This thread is retarded and is the reason why poor people stay poor.
We look up at the clouds and we want to make shapes from them.
Stop wasting brain cycles on stupid ass shit.

If you want to be rich, do what rich people do.
If you want to be skinny, do what skinny people do.
If you want to be powerful, do what powerful people.

It's not rigged.  People aren't as bright or clever as you think they are.
Most of them are lazy.
Most of them cheat when they can.
But, for the most part, you can easily win because there are so few people actually trying.

A bunch of whiny, wimpy, girlie ass 'kids' up in here.

I don't think it is about being stupid but more about being submissive and the fear of chaos (the real world).
People complain but they actually like being slave.
Being a slave is comfortable because it allows you to live in the illusion of order and stability.

Really, so what does rich people do?

[jdany]

Find someone in a spot you'd like to be in, and get to know them.  Ask them questions.
Amazingly, wealthy people rarely get asked advice about money and finances.

Your statement infers that anyone who earns a wage via a job is a "slave", and I disagree with this conclusion. People who earn a wage receive a steady income, which means they rely less on the economy to be able to pay their bills. A lot more would need to go wrong in their workplace before they would not get paid. Earning a wage is overall much less risky then earning money off the backs of others.

If you are born rich it's easy to live off rents. Just buy shit and rent it, its so easy.

If you aren't born rich chances are you'll die as a non rich individual, its a scam.

the owner of the slave would force them to work for nothing they would not pay and give them minimal food or drink, saving themselves money. If they were a farmer they would force the slave to farm then the owner would sell the crop and keep all profit for himself, often they would sell the slave to some one richer and buy a cheaper one, slaves meant nothing to the owner they were just an object.
