you are never going to make it
| yes, and?
| >>755033
it's frustrating that your best may never be good enough or compare to someone else's just being there
| Well, even if they happened to be lucky, that doesn't mean they know what to do with it. So, with that.. You need the knowledge to apply yourself and good spending habits.
| >>755031
Also, OP, I don't know if it's boring to you but origami is cool. You don't even need the fancy paper or nothing - Just patience.
| >>755034
your best should be better than your previous best. it doesn't even ALWAYS have to be, though, just most of the time. someone else is someone else. it's not even your business how good (or bad) they are. maybe you could look up what those who are "good" did right, or where those who are "bad" went wrong, and base your decisions on that analysis, but other than that, shouldn't even bother you.
| Believe it or not OP, you can set yourself up to be "lucky". Being in the right place at the right time is a skill that you can learn. Well... 80% of it is a skill. 20% of it is complete luck. :3

>financial security can only be obtained by being unrealistically lucky.
I wouldn't say so. I got economically independent on stock trading using money I inherited. While there is some factor of "luck" involved I only invested in companies that I read up on and believed in.
| After turning that inheritance into a small fortune I put 300.000€ into a company that returns around 10% every year and has been for decades. So every year I take out around 25.000€ to live on.
I'm still lonely and my life lacks direction but at least I don't have to worry about bills or not being able to afford healthy food.
| I literally need to hear anything but that right now, and even though I would love to just cry and say that you're right, I'm gonna ignore ya and say fuck you, I'm getting there

that's my point.
happy to hear that you've made it.

fuck you right back. let's make it and become rich as fuck together.
basic attention token pumped tonight so i feel better. love you all.
| Well, it is true to some extent. However, why bother to become the most successful person? In my opinion, I made it. I have a good salary and more or less stable job. It is enough for me to not worry about money and just buy everything I need (not want).

Go listen to Presidents of the USA sing we're not Gonna Make It.
Because we are all gonna make it, g/u/rl.
Once you can laugh at yourself, then the world is a better and brighter place.

Stock trading is a skilled you can learn. It's not about being "unrealistically lucky".
Signing a high life insurance isn't "unrealistically lucky" and neither is getting cancer. My inheritance wasn't big either. Most working people have more money in their savings than what I got from that inheritance.
| >>755189
The only thing most of people can inherit from their family is cancer and other dna bullshit, so yeah, keep saying that

the only "skill" in trading is patience in my opinion

>the only "skill" in trading is patience in my opinion
This is factually wrong. There are volumes written on the subject and you can't convince me(or anyone, really) that it all boils down to learning patience.
For example, how do you decide which company to invest in? There's 0% luck involved in the research that leads to that choice.
| >>755199
Maybe in USA this might ring true, but USA =/= the world. Most of the western worlds families doesn't live paycheck to paycheck.
No wonder you guys are so pessimistic. You know nothing of the world.
| >>755214
I don't know what made you think that I'm from the US, but you're wrong on that one. Welcome to the Eastern Europe, where almost every family lives paycheck to paycheck as well, yay! Also, western countries =/= the world either, and things are obviously not very bright for a huge chunk of people who were unlucky enough to be born in a third world country. Wich is, you know. The majority of people on the globe
| >>755093
To be fair, you can count on one hand how many people are this fiscally responsible with their money. Good on you anon, even if your social life is a wreck (for the moment) you've at least obtained financial security, which is one thing most people can only dream of ever having.
This means you have the rest of your life to work on everything else.
| Ah damn, wish we could create a economic system in which people work from each according to their ability, to each according to their needs.
But clearly that's unrealistic! Mining fake meme coins to make lines go brrrrrrrr is way better!
| >>755214 Love how middle class ppl pretend poverty is some minor issue in black american neighbourhoods or whatever, when everywhere has people working paycheck to paycheck! People in western europe also work paycheck to paycheck!?!
| Well tbh western europeans love getting us eastern europeans over to work the low wage jobs, so I guess where they're coming from.
Anyhow all this is a bit much, best thing is taking care of what's in front of you OP. Meet people, get hobbies and try to make things less shit for everyone over here.
| >>755242
And those meme coins... are they in the room with us right now?
On another note. No one is entitled to anyone else's money.
| Can we just agree that capitalism kinda sucks? Because, money and hierarchy is literally the basis of all the problems discussed here. Damn I hate money. It's so dumb that the world we live in determines your status and worth not based on you as a person or how talented you are at what you do, but on whether or not your ancestors were lucky or not. Such a scuffed concept.
Why can't I just do the things I'm talented at, use it for the benefit of others and be treated as an equal?
| Idk man. It's like, success isn't really based on how well you do something or how much you improve. It's based on the money your family had when you were born and whether or not you're one of the very few people who get paid well for it. So silly. So, so silly.
| >>755363 capitalism is not ideal but there are no sane alternatives. Socialism experiments failed and they will fail again. Why? Because that system is against our human nature. So, I think the only way to fundamentaly change our society is to change the human nature itself.
The first thing to try is to genetically adjust human babies to have higher intelligence and stuff like that. That way we will have better building materials to create a better world. Sounds reasonable, right?
| Idk, I think it is a bit useless talking about how bad capitalism is when the root of the problem is our outdated human brains that are supposed to hunt animals in the woods.
| We are just not evolved to be effective at this population scale.
| >>755429
We could definitely find better alternatives, but people are scared of even considering it because it's all they know and the government tells them it's the best and/or only way. Anarcho-communism for example. Nobody has tried. People have tried communism, but that's hellish and still fully focused on money and shit. But, people don't want to try it, even small scale just to see. I think that's dumb.
| You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
haha it's the thing they quote all the time, cheesy but true

| hey. haven't been in a while. i love you g/u/rls.
here are some thoughts.
UR NGMI.
you can work as hard as you want, but you're never going to make it as much as someone who was at the right place at the right time. modern life is a rat race, where the end goal is freedom. freedom is financial security. financial security can only be obtained by being unrealistically lucky.
you will never make it as much as someone who E.G has bought bitcoin 10 years ago.
fuck.
i need a hobby.
