Exorbitant and unending desire for wealth should be treated as a mental disease, not revered. amirite?

We are a socialist country. It's just to the benefit of the wealthy.

How is this unpopular

by Brendan82 1 week ago

Good question, it shouldn't be unpopular. But people are out there defending billionaire's billions all the time.

The measurement system for success needs to change before that can happen.

I was so confused why the ubber rich wanted to be Ubber rich. And it turns out it's stupidly simple, "if no one is poor, being rich holds no power". If we measured power and success in emotional intelligence, compassion, generosity, hard work, integrity and honesty, our world would be a whole different place.

I'm not sure this is an unpopular opinion, but it needs to be way more popular than it is rn

Pretty sure he's not saying greed is bad, but that compulsive obsession for more money is not treated as greedy enough

Most people with that desire are severe narcissists and even have antisocial personality disorder. However, I think there should always be a healthy desire to achieve your desired lifestyle and work life balance.

I just want enough money to have a family and be able to not have to work to spend time with them and travel. Not asking for a 50 bedroom mansion. But I want enough to buy my freedom and have a family that's all I want in life. Totally agree on money hoarding I feel anything over 250 million is just like alright bro do you really need more then that? How many super yachts do you need to feel whole lol.

But needing 249 million for freedom is normal 😑

In this economy it just ought be haha. Nah but I'd wanna have around 50-200 million myself. Not just for me but to take care of my siblings and the faniky I'd have with my current fiance. Plus unlike my horrible family I don't wanna past down generational abuse I'd rather pass down generational wealth. Plus I try to be kinda and I wouldnt be stingy. If I had money I'd be helping people out and possible starting companies to further things like medical research cause so many things just aren't given enough attention in that field in my opinion.

I disagree. This is why I always side with Scrooge in a Christmas Carol. My boy just wants to be rich and he's happy doing what he does. He has a lot of good points so fair play to him!

Meh. There are so many people on earth. Your existence is generally irrelevant…and so is mine. If I make it my life's mission to accrue wealth, eliminate world hunger or acquire the world's largest jar of clipped toenails…who cares? Everyone seeks a purpose in purposelessness…
