Would you give up part of your youth for wealth?

MusicgoonV2 · 2021-05-21T06:14:24+00:00

Fuck no! That's not living. I made a shit ton of money working in aerospace, but had zero time to enjoy anything. I wasted a decade. You can always make more money, you can't get your youth or time back.

Anything that makes you sacrifice your freedom and life for money isn't worth it. Think of a different way to get money.

This is a false choice. Stop bullshitting yourself.

I’m guessing you’re talking about being a doctor?

You gotta stop focusing on the short term, and focus on the long term investment.

That means yes, you will have to sacrifice pleasures in the short term, but it will be worth it.

Would you rather be a wage slave living day to day now? Or sacrifice for the future and earn yourself a 70-200k+ job in your thirties?

i bet bill gates would give up everything he owns to get his youth back

Depends on how attractive you are. If your attractive then don't do it, go out and bang everything your even slightly attracted to until you stop getting any then focus on career. On the other hand if your not then..... Sure that sounds like a good plan.

Hell no! Theres one thing you can always get and thats money. You cannot buy your youth back with money.

As a red pill id want to be on my own and building my masculine energy. You cannot build your masculine energy while living with a woman as you would alone.

After turning 1k into 30k playing around in cryptos last month not even knowing wtf i was doing i would never sacrifice my time like that ever again. But its all about your values not some random redditor. You obviously dont want to do it deep down inside.

I have a torn back and shot knees, might as well look as I feel

No will not trade your for wealth.

In your case you need to provide more information on why do you wan to be dependent on your mom until you are 30 ?

Few questions:

-How old are you now

-what does “very rich” mean, how rich can this make you

-what’s the guarantee of this payoff, could it go wrong?

-what are your other options?

-do you at least enjoy the work/topic so you can deal with the grind

I have in a sense.

I gave up most of my middle school days for two things.

For high school classes and being above the norm in that sense.
For video games. I used to play Halo and Cod competitively (made a small hustle for it back in the day)

I took 2 - 3 year after high school to figure out what I wanted so I dicked around a little bit. Partying, girls, social stuff. Then went back into a new skill that I do till this day and gave up friendships and relationships for it.

Though I did meet a bunch of people and it made me a bit jaded now to how people act around me with somehow I have "clout" in some aspects and a majority of people don't work hard enough or smart enough in a sense.

In another sense I look at Gen Z and kinda feel bad for them and dont wish to be them rn since the signal to noise ratio to practical advice is so buried on the internet it's problematic to me. When I came to this sub or the "Memeosphere" it was relatively easy to find sources of the GOATs Rollo,Roissy, Roosh V, and others alike and nobody was grifting hella hard on YT. Though nowadays it's a bitch harsher since you find so much bs in relation to many niche markets even crypto. Look how many people bought DOGE and look at them now. I;ve advocated for ETH BTC and such since 2017 and the last week i've advised again. Few listened again... but bought shit coins.

Though I did have times where I just lived my life, took a plate on vacation with me we fucked alot and had a great time overall. So it's more of a balancing act though you keep the end in mind (which is a law of power btw)

It depends on if you can find a way to have fun doing it. I spent 22-32 working and studying long hours. I went to grad school full time, worked full time, and started a side business. It was exhausting.

That said, I liked classes well enough. Starting a successful business was fun. My job was tolerable. And, I still found time to go out with friends, take a vacation here and there, etc.

I would do it again.

If you hate all of it, then no.
