Bullshit. If someone earns $1.2 million per year, they can retire after 2 or 3 years. They have no right to complain. They're weak.
$1.2 million is the definition of eternal happiness. If you earn that, whatever emotion you feel in your life is called happiness. This emotion which their greedy brains interpret as sadness, my brain would interpret as euphoria.
that's the point, lifestyle creep means you hang out only with people that earn that too. it becomes normal, average even. and you can't dare step away
How could a relationship with a person deplete the kind of profound, intrinsic, highly quantifiable joy that this kind of money brings? I can't imagine any kind of relationship which could do that for me.
I'm a curious person and I have a pretty intellectually stimulating job right now (so I understand the appeal) but heck; for $1.2 million per year, I would sit and stare at a blank wall every day for 5 years straight. I can even picture myself after finishing a hard day of hardcore wall-staring, I'd go home with a huge smile on my face. It would be like reliving the best day of my life over and over again for 5 years straight.
i actually can’t tell if you’re 1. sarcastic 2. trolling 3. honestly believe this 4. engaging in self deception to rationalize your own behavior
