Are you jealous of rich people or celebrities?

[Anonymous]

Of course i am jealous. I was not in the past. But now i am. Because i realized that i am a pathetic slave to the system.

I’m jealous of anyone with the financial freedom to walk away from working at a relatively young age, particularly when you don’t have to do anything particularly strenuous to get there. I’m not that jealous of money if someone had to work really hard for it, in terms of either the job and/or the necessary education or training. Like I’m not jealous of doctors because they spent half of their youth studying and doing schoolwork. I’m not jealous of lawyers because the both spent their youth on studying and now they very often work long hours. That’s not worth it to me either. Like if the choice is between having a carefree and fun youth and then only making an average living, or spending your best years grinding then having a fancier job and more money, I’ll take the carefree youth. I live in/near a fairly wealthy area, and I see all kinds of guys driving in Maseratis or other fancy cars. But then they get out and they’re old and gray. That’s not when I want a Maserati, I want it when I’m young and beautiful. I’ll drive a fucking Corolla when I’m old, I don’t give a shit, lmao. That kind of thing only held value to me when I was young and superfic

[Asker]

Yeah fuck working. financial freedom is the key

[WhiteSteve]

Wtf... screen crack hit send lmao

Anyway, young and superficial is what I was saying. At my age now, all I need is “enough”, and that will likely decrease further as I age.

More to say but my phone is going haywire lmao. Point is, I’m jealous of a celebrity if they’re like an actor or something, and all you have to do is work hard every couple years for like 4 months shooting a movie, then chill until the next one. Not “easy” I’m sure, but we’re not sending these people into coal mines or anything lmfao. Models have it even better, I’d think. Maintain being remarkably attractive, and have pictures taken of you, gotcha👍 I know there’s more to it than that, but again, it’s not roofing in July.

Basically money isn’t so important to me that I’m going to break my back or my brain trying to obtain it. It does buy me free time, that’s the most important thing it can do and the only reason I respect pursuing it at all. Material goods, I don’t need all the toys.

So the absolute best situation to be in work-wise is any sort of passive income. Make money while not working. That’s the goal. Spending your life just working inefficiently in pursuit of money, for more than you truly need, that to me is wasting your precious time on the planet.

You are definitely right, it is a big waste of time on this Planet for smart people. I say this as a Multi skilled person, i know lots of musical skills, computer skills etc. But i still hate working

No. Defo not.

Celebrities are practical slaves to their agents and sponsors. It's basically an "insert coin, watch monkey dance" existence. You never wonder why so many celebrities commit suicide or step back from career as soon as they can?

As for the uber rich, They can have no real friends and trust fewer. Even their family will want to kill them and take over, which is why they tend to hide a lot more than show. It's basically like living in witness protection.

In your case, you just need to be less of a dick and more open and friendly to people to make friends.

[Asker]

You say i am a dick?

[Brokenheartedx]

No, most celebs are extrovert and I'm an introvert. I would hate my life not being my life and the public thinking you owe them an autograph when out and about shopping or having dinner in a restaurant. Even their poor kids aren't safe from the onslaught of opinions about them. Real rich people that are born from old money, you'd never know they had money, think the queen in her wellies and tweed skirts, other rich people who show off defo not, I'd be to scared id get mugged or something.

Be happy with what you have, you may not have money and unhappy at the moment, but happiness costs nothing, no amount of money or celeb lifestyle can buy happiness

[Ms_Vanderquack]

No, jealousy accomplishes nothing and fame doesn’t interest me in the slightest. Money is simply a means to an end, and only one way of getting there.

[Anonymous]

Yes, but i hate them in the same time, because of them showing up all the time like that make me want what they have and make me feel that i don't have enought.
Some time when i want what they have i olso want something bad to happen to them.
