Do you think it’s wrong to base your self worth on your income?

[jennifer_bloom]

This month I finished two research projects I’ve been working on for 16 years and I think I could make between 5,000,000 to over 5,000,000,000 and I don’t plan on changing my lifestyle if I’m rich. I will still eat oatmeal for breakfast and noodles for lunch and rice for dinner and I will still eat kale and beets and carrots, my dad keeps talking about how he’s embarrassed I’m his daughter because I’m neither beautiful nor rich. I considered filing a restraining order against him if he tries to visit me at my mansion after I become famous and rich.

Everyone thinks being rich won't change them I certainly did. It does change you. It may not be huge but money tends to amplify all your current traits. So toxic people become worse. Good people become better. Fake good people show their true colors.

[Fireguy17]

yes, just because you can earn a lot of money does not make you a good person.

Well... Wealth might be an indicator of someone's competence and effort at work and level-headedness while spending money. However, getting rich is a lengthy process and wealth can only be seen when the process is completed. Relationship-wise, I would reject any woman (or anyone who'd like to become my friend, while we're at that) who'd only come to "like" me after I've already gathered some wealth. It would have been an extremely lengthy process and if someone did not support me throughout this process, they would most likely just be pathetic parasites, unless they were an absolutely new acquaintance that I would literally gain access to only after becoming rich, for a reason not related to becoming rich. Thus... Income is important, but it's far from painting the full picture of a person's worth.

Yes and no.

Yes, because like it or not that's probably the biggest factor society will judge you by. But No, because just because society judges you by that doesn't make it right.

To quote Howard Stark, "no amount of money ever bought a second of time". You can't buy better health (better medical care and standard of living, but not health).

We are all mortal and at some point in time everything you've built and every cent you've made will count for NOTHING. But will reverberate (potentially for generations) will be the lives you've touched and changed. The love you've spread.

Yeah, I don't think it's great to base your self worth on any external thing, because you can lose it all, and once that happens your will to live goes a long with it. Especially as a Christian woman, you know your value was already determined by the most high when he conceived the idea of you.

[Thestupidusername]

Yes that would be wrong. But congratulations on your success, i hope it goes really well!
