Sociopath Community

Do what you like in life, be good at it, and money will come eventually if you're on the lookout. Don't be so fucking tense all the time either, enjoy life a little. Sometimes it's not about the destination, but the road to it.

As of now life feels pointless, it always has but at least I had hope for my future and aspirations. I've always wanted to succeed and become rich enough to pursue everything I could ever imagine in life, unimpeded by an 8 hour work day. To my credit I've worked hard to achieve that, I'm compelled to and have to if I want to stay sane. My point being that even with the career of my interests, I wont break over 80k a year(if I get a job with a psychology degree). I'm not content with that, at all. That's after I spend the next 6 years juggling work and class. Lol, I'm going to spend my entire life wanting more and never touch where I want to be at this rate. Nevertheless, this has made me work harder. My motivation isn't "well I'm going to get rich" it's more of "might as well try for the hell of it, see how far I get". I like this shift in motivation, aiming for the top no longer because I'll feel guilty if I don't but just for the hell of it. 

I guess that'd be a positive outlook on nihilism.

There's some interesting resonance there.

Buy some shares in facebook while it's still on the cheap side compared to what it'll be in the long term. Or invest in tweed, it spikes once or twice a year by a dollar or two and as soon as it does, you pull. Most stocks in the market plummeted this year, which means it's a good time to buy. Market research is required, and if you do this, watch it like a hawk within 7 hours daily.

All rich people do this, or they have someone do it for them.

When you get your degree and some experience as a doctor, write a book. By then you'll have an interesting first hand perspective, and publishers will give you credit in advance for being educated. There are writers who live wealthy over a couple books they made.

When you purchase things, always calculate the bill, and you'll be surprised how often they take an extra dollar. If you keep a persistent radar on that, you'll develop a habit of valuing every last dime in your name, and you'll desire less things while your satisfaction is in the bank.

Granted your investments, day job, and book was half decent, you start buying property with the intent to sell it. Renting out space is egotistical, and should never be done unless you're holding onto the property waiting for the market value to go up

Know a little about the company that builds projects, like condos. Know where they'll build and get insight on the property value. If it's good buy a unit before it's done, and fast, cause while you visit the construction site, you'll likely bump into other owners, or they missed the boat. In a years time you can profit from selling, and if you keep it up, you'll see being a landlord is laborious chump change.

A woman will hold you back. Same with needy friends. Surrounding yourself with them will be so taxing, you'll only really get along with folks with similar status than you. Imagine going to pick up your buddy in your Maserati,  and all he has to talk about is the same shit you had to avoid to make it, then things get weird when they owe you, or they might start to resent you cause you're the magnetic one, or they just might understand that they have to let you go, while you rarely contact them, or they might pull some kind of stunt that can leave you bewildered.

The grass is only greener on the other side when we have too much of what we have, rich or poor. Having more to lose can take its toll and eat away at you in your temporary self. The rich are in many cases friendless, lonely, insecure, and just miserable. Everyone else in the so called lower class appears to be smiling and enjoying life with one another. At this point you might want to settle down. Hide the rich indicators and date. If you find what you like, make a contract if the two of you live together. You'll never have it all if you're alone.

"Renting out space is egotistical, and should never be done unless you're holding onto the property"

How so?

"A woman will hold you back. Same with needy friends. Surrounding yourself with them will be so taxing, you'll only really get along with folks with similar status than you. "

Things like this make me doubt you've ever had a real friendship or relationship Tony. No wonder people only think of using you, since you're an unpleasant company and annoying personality. Speaking of company, didn't your brother's gold plating company crash and burn? Maybe you should have saved the money making advice for him.

I've seen it. He was with her since he was broke, now, they have 2 kids in their late teens, he owns a marketing firm, and he bought his wife a building she rents out and they have some other businesses I don't know much about.

This guy, he imported a type of tree from Vancouver, 400 of them and used them to gate off the back yard of the mansion. He then decided they were growing too slow, so he had them removed and had big ones delivered and planted. The home they lived in was hard to maintain, indoor saltwater grotto, from the taxes, to having to hire people to keep it tidy, so they decided it was impractical to own a home that big, so he sold it to a Doctor who moved in there with his family. Maybe he was a surgeon. 

I don't know if they signed a prenup, but it seems as though they'll be going on till death.

If you're rich, or on your way to being so, and they don't want to sign a prenuptial agreement, don't even live with them.

Rethinking this through and with a more determined mind I'm fine with the direction I'm headed. I'll admit I was depressed that day but the same, aimless, arduous road ahead of me(that I ranted about) is the same thing that excites me the most about the future.

He's more about the journey and the feeling of self worth through measurable gains than the wealth itself. He's out to prove things to himself, not indulge in life for the sake of it. If he didn't earn it, it wouldn't taste as sweet.
