I'm a average people who became rich people with Bitcoin. So now I'm just the top panel without the work.

I dont say this to brag, but to encourage other average peoples to become rich people too.

Also having been born into generational wealth and exploiting the finance system - that's the most famous rich-people-hobby.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Invest in mentors, huh.

Definitely doesn't have a relevant detail in his bio.

[–] TheTechnician27 105 points 4 days ago (3 children)

Any rich person born after 1993 can't party. All they know is gym, invest in they mentors, not work, be knowledgeable, do business, and lie.

I swear rich people have no actual interests

[–] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

The ones that do are not spending their time posting sociopath bullshit on LinkedIn.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 3 days ago

The actual bullshit message behind this:

A rich person is a good person and a smart person.

In posted this, so I am signaling to you that I am a good and smart person that will be rich if I’m not already.

Obviously the #1 life goal of all people is to be rich, so you should all be like me, and you should be ashamed when you take time to enjoy existence.

(Disclaimer: I’m not shitting on people who enjoy or find fulfillment in their job or their business)

It’s amazing how hourly workers brainwashed themselves into believing that they’re entrepreneurs.

They really believe the nonsense that bro podcasters sell them.

They’ll be 40 in an hourly retail position wondering where everything went wrong.

"So, do you have any hobbies?"

"Yep! I like job, invest in mentors, knowledge..."

A job is not a hobby. I feel that that shouldn't require explanation.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

Sometimes, hobby becomes job and stops being hobby :c

Alternately, rich kids just pay off the carnival workers for the big prize without playing the game at all

I don't think this individual understands what a hobby is. Your job by definition is not a hobby.

It's hilarious to me that, while the author is trying to own working-class people's poor choice of hobbies, what it actually does is show the immense privilege of people whose only hobbies are various forms of "self improvement".

What is this? Some pseudo-wisdom from a “life coach” or something?

You don't need to be rich to go to a gym or increase your knowledge.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

...but you do need to be rich-enough to afford time not spent preparing for work, working, nor recovering from work...

Some of the most knowledgeable people I’ve meet were dirt-poor.

[–] Kyle_The_G 34 points 4 days ago

most academics/research roles. Huge competition, your life depends on winning grants, requires PhD and years of training, poverty-level salaries.

TIL, that Donald and Mush partying at Epstein Island is considered a hobby for the poor.

Serious question. What is "invest in mentors"? I can't figure this one out. Like you pay people to mentor you?

I made the comment that rent should be tax deductible, just like a mortgage, and some rise and grind boot licking doofus said "you can if you run a home business." First of all, do you need to run a home business in a home you own to write off your mortgage? No Secondly, not everyone in the country can run a home business. Imagine the chaos.

[–] iAvicenna 26 points 4 days ago

making enough money to be able to pay rent and eat something is my new hobby!

Wow, this is such bullshit.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Rich people having movie theatres, expensive gaming rigs at home whitelist surrounded by PAs & maids sounds like the first category.

Only the buying/renting/paying people with actual knowledge is kinda from the second.

But it's options.
Rich people have options, the luxury to choose whatever - they have the time (no job or financial-survivor stress) to choose said options, and if they fail also the financial safety net with catch them comfortably/without years of additional debt.

The 24h of a rich person are not the same as 24h of an average person.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 4 days ago

Ask yeah - Elon "I'm in the global top 10 in Diablo" Musk sure doesn't have gaming as a hobby...

Poor people hobby > Job
