I must say, the suggestion that net worth is a measure of personal worth rubs me the wrong way. It is an echo of the Calvinist blasphemy that provided inter alia a moral excuse for slavery.
Yeah that's what i thought too when my networth was practically zero. Amazing what perspective will do.

How would you measure success in life? I'm genuinely curious. Because you're absolutely right I gauge mine by income. They say money doesn't buy happiness and I fully believe that....but it sure the fuck helps!!
No, the true judge of wealth is free time. I work one day a week, so it looks like my wealth is exponentially larger than yours. Bro, do you even have a veggie garden?

Congrats on making it to the 5th grade. Isn't it fun to talk dirty and all the grownups don't know what you are saying?

Bro are you seriously questioning my free time? Lmao look how many posts i have in like 3 days since i joined. I own a few cheap rental houses in the hood and i flipped a couple last year. I never said my networth was higher than anyones, i literally said bank accounts lol. I tend to keep a very large amount of cash in the bank because im into real estate and you have to be ready to pull the trigger. I'm also in the process of starting a home inspection business.

is that a serious statement bro??? on what planet is someone a liar for using imminent and definite interchangeably? There are far more egregious grammatical errors in our conversations that get overlooked every day. A lie is a fucking intentional act. What I did was use a word incorrectly that really changes the meaning of the sentence by very fucking little.
The stupidity is imminent (unless you change) vs definite stupidity.
Overlooking is a sign of laziness. don't lie about it.

Ukraine has been fighting Russia for years against the Russian backed separatist group. If Russia choses to invade then there isn't much Ukraine could do to stop them unless another Super power or Alliance helps them. Seeing as they are not part of NATO then its none of NATO's business and might really upset all of Europe. Maybe Biden would like to get involved more than they are (US already has troops in the Ukraine) to pick up some poll points but does the US really want to get into yet another long term war on foreign soil they cannot win? Ukraine does have oil and gas reserves though..

Prove it. I wish my damn bank app would let me screenshot... I gotta find another camera
What a strange thing to say. And yes you can screenshot your accounts balances or just print them off and take a photo.

Ive always found that the people with money (and i mean money not someone with a few hundred grand) don't talk about who has more than others.

Bit of a strange story but a good friend of mine who came to Australia with 1/2 a pack of cigarettes and no money whatsoever a few years later lost 1m in a weekend. He still laughs about it.

If you want to talk debt? Before i semi retired at 40 I was $800k and change in debt. I used to tease the missus that i was going to make it a Mill in debt. lol. The last 12 years i've earnt bugger all, Have only a small debt, have bugger all disposable income and love life. Life's fkn awesome. People need to get their work ballance right to suit them. Work to live don't live to work. Dont worry about what you have or what others have. Just enjoy life.

Good luck with the endeavour.

Happiness. Is that not the meaning of life? To have had a happy life? (Que Monty Python).

You confuse happiness with having "stuff". It's the fundamental meaning and flaw of Capitalism.

Happiness is a personnel thing, its a more natural environmental thing.

I question everything you have to say.
