ok considering some people want a family i can agree on 50-55yrs but anything beyond that is really just pushing it tbh
To each its own.
Personally, it's all about contentment for me. And if you're someone who feels like you won't be able to achieve that without coming into a ludicrous amount if wealth, to the point where you willingly don't want to live past 50
There's a good chance that said wealth won't actually do much to help with that.
Imagine still wanting to be alive in your 40's
Like you past your physical and mental prime.....just die bruh
life>>>money
paper is overrated
i feel like people who say this never experienced being down bad fr and having an existential crisis due to lack of money
80

Contentment. That’s cool, I respect it. Like you said, “to each their own.”
But just because that’s your goal in life doesn’t mean it’s mine as well.
I don’t want to live a long life in the first place, which is why I don’t really care about contentment. I care about financial security and independence for my family. I want them to not have to worry about money, ever.
I know you can feel “content” in basically every situation of life, but that feeling won’t necessarily change your environment and the options available to you.
That being said, having a lot of money definitely would’ve helped in me being a more positive and happier person overall, too, though. So that last part of your comment is a reach.
Most of my issues could’ve been solved with money. As someone who grew up poor, I feel like “contentment” is basically just settling for less, but being at peace with it.
Having money doesn’t fix you and all your problems per se, but it can open a lot of doors for you and make dealing with them a lot easier

I have and I realized that my fear of being broke was bigger and worse than actualy being broke.
I'll take being poor with peace of mind over riches and the problems that come with 'em anyday.
all I need is food, water, electricity and my books

existential crisis to me is not having any of the things you just listed lmao
but i get what you’re saying
more power to you fam
Depends on what you consider an average life.
If you’re talking getting married(wife who doesn’t cheat type beat too) kids, vacay twice a year, money to do other fun stuff, steady job and 401k.
I’m picking the average life then
I guarantee that you not being there to see your kids grow up will damage them way more than the money will save them. It’s a terrible idea.
You’re assuming tho man. Just because you’re rich, doesn’t mean that you wouldn’t see your kids.

love you fam
What do you consider average
And what career will I have? All more important than being rich

No you wouldn’t see your kids grow up because you would be dead at 40 years old. Unless you’re a teenager right now that’s not enough time to see a child grow up. Even when a child does grow up they still need their parents for guidance and advice. No amount of money in the world can substitute for a father’s love.

I thought the question was just living rich until 40. I didn’t see anything about death.
