Why aren't you rich Veeky Forums?

Why aren't you rich Veeky Forums?

because im stupid and lazy

I am. I'm also obese. Also, not Veeky Forums related.

Because I love the freedom I have as NEET. Ever working makes me work-able and will no longer let me get welfare.

Because I can't get a job.

Basically this. Also terrified of other people and can't deal with any kind of stress. Hard to get rich when you cower in your room all day.

Because I love my job teaching highschool western civ., British lit, and civics as well as coaching track and field.

Because I only make 50k a year and don't know how to make more.

I should probably go back to college

I got a MA in philosophy.
Surprisingly I dont find a job :^)

Because my mom got hooked on coke when my dad left us and she spent my 90k college fund. Now I work 40-50 hours a week on 8.05/h starting college next year, I'm gonna try amateur fighting while in college and if I can't make it then i'm joining the Air Force for that steady job/retirement at 45.

You can start a business under someone else's name. Someone that would never fuk u over.

What do you do?

Slaying any high school pussy?

On my way.
Owning a startup for half a year and trading stocks for over 4 years.
Actually making some decent financially gains.

All guy catholic school senpai

Graduating with a good resume and a degree in CS this May, starting the hunt for my first job as a Software Engineer, then it begins

>drop out 9th grade
>NEET ever since (got GED)

Ok so here's my choices now:

1) Get low-paying wagecuck job

Won't pay enough for me to move out, won't pay enough for me to afford a wife/children.

The only motivation I have to leave the NEET lifestyle is if I'm able to get sex and have children.

2) Go to college or trade-school

I will leave tens of thousands in debt, probably unable to get a job afterwards, and even if I do it may be automated out in the future.

I'm a rigger at a shipyard. 84 hour weeks with a 14/7 schedule. It's not so bad, but I was just dropped into it from my dispatching job in the same place doing much less work.

I need to pay off my damn truck and save up. College wasn't hard but I started enjoying alcohol more than going to class.

I'm not rich, but I have a decent paying job.

My gains are also okay for the average guy.

But I still have no gf so.......meh.

Slaying any high school boipussy?

If I want to get things started as entrepreneur I would rather keep it legal.
>tfw you want to make money by publishing a book but can't because the chance of losing welfare is too high.

Because I'm comfortable in my middle class middle management job and don't want to go through the rollercoaster that is opening a business.

My wife is set on leaving her job by the middle of next year and opening a small B&B/wedding venue. I'm on board with it, but it's not the kind of business that will make us wealthy.

Trade school is a solid option, m80.

This. Also don't have enough confidence to believe I can get anywhere. I've started a lot of things, just never finished one.

b/c I'm stupid and lazy. I like hookers and beer more than I like being rich.

$90k/yr + benefits 1st year software developer

I've been busting my ass at the gym for 4 years and my upper body lifts are barely intermediate and lower body almost advanced.

WHERE DID YOU GRADUATE FROM YOU LYING FUCK?

military is a much better choice than being a wagecuck

Umm think again sweetie ;)
I majored in mathematics at a classy university and now I make over 100k a year starting. I'm also a video game streamer in my free time with a huge following.

I make 101000 a year and get paid to jack off on cam.

with an even bigger following than the game streaming fag I might add.

>84 hour weeks for 50k/year

Ur memeing me

People do it

Because I'm not a jewish wagecuck.

That's fuckin chump change if you live in SF or NYC which is probably where he lives and works.

I live and work in your mom's pussy,faggot.

Enjoy your cucked state with insane property prices and high taxes.

I have the opportunity to take over my family business and potentially make 6 figures easy, but I don't have any desire to be in that line of work. I'd much rather make my success on my own.

>turning your back on everything your parents have worked for

Sickening

i have had a head injury

in school to get rich later

Haven't found the way yet
Besides doing shit I don't want to do for extended periods of time, which is a no-go

I wasn't born rich and my parents don't have connections for me to get a good job

I'm 34 and make minimum wage and been at the same workplace for 15 years

My household annual income is nearly $200K, I live in a cheap city, and I don't feel rich at all

>50k a year

If you need more than that you're living way above your means man, I make 23k a year and live comfortable as fuck because my rent is only 850 a month

>this humblebragging bait

U wot? Every job is able to afford living on your own that why there is a minimum wage, I make 390 a week and live on my own and I always have enough for food and rent and my rent is 975 every month

How the fucks that meme? I work 70 hrs a week and bring home 650$ after taxes

Because I'm not selfish and I don't need to work more than 20 hours a week at 13 dollars an hour to afford my lifestyle

>tfw rent is 250 a month
>tfw rest of my income is for opiates and food

Im living the dream you selfish wage slaves working 30 or more hours a week just so you can have a fancy house and eat rich people food lmao while I get high and work 2 days a week and love my job

I didn't invest in a home gym. :^(

Lol I make 46 k and I work at most 25 hours a week. Tops.

>This is what it sounds like when doves cry

Every time I go out to better myself or help others e.g. get a job, socialise, charitable work etc. I just make more people angry towards me.

Yeah I wasn't born into wealth and didn't get a fancy job from my family, it's not what you know it's who you know in this world

Have you considered that maybe you are just bad at communication and tend to sound like an asshole IRL?

My parents are immigrants from the soviet bloc. We had nothing growing up. I made it here myself.

Quit making excuses for your failures and fucking engage with the world, user.

>just turned 25 years old
>father left me 60k investment portfolio when I turned 21
>make $18/hour 40 hours a week, live with parents and pay them $600/month in rent
>have another $50k in my life savings that I've added most of it to the investment portfolio as well
>parents could also pay entire college tuition (i worked part time to pay for everything else)

I guess with over $110k in my name and no debts, I would be considered rich for my age right now, but it doesn't matter because I'm a complete aspie friendless kissless permvirgin shut-in loser so I save the rest of my money.

I would much rather be my age and only have maybe a few thousand dollars in savings but have friends, have a girlfriend, have my own place, basically live a normal life, than to be in the situation I'm in now.

And while I could go to grad school and make like $35-40 an hour (like I'm uspposed to do), I just have no motivation due to how shit my life is

I work 70 hours a week I'm not a NEET, I work hard for my money and live an enjoyable life because I like my coworkers and getting paid to workout.

it's the day off every week that I don't like because it's boring as fuck when I'm not working

Nobody needs more than 18 an hour, I make 11.50 an hr and live pretty damn good, I'm currently drinking a beer waiting for my chicken to cook in the oven in my own place that's heated and has electricity. I fucking made it in life

Iktf bro I make 12.35$ an hour and am happy because there is people in this world literally eating bugs and drinking dirty water just to survive that would love to be in my place in life

Oh definitely thats one of the things. I've been reading on people skills and communication books and have been going to groups similar to toastmasters.

But then when I have to use it in public it just goes to shit in my head then my mouth.

The one thing good about it though is that it makes me a good listener because I keep my mouth shut.

I have no excuses for who I am. And I don't blame people. Just gotta improve. Maybe when I'm 40 I'll be a normal member of society.

DO NOT LISTEN TO LEFTIST PROPAGANDA

I'm not rich but I don't need anymore than I already have

>apartment that's 950 month rent
>27k a year job that I love
>always have food
>perfectly good bicycle

What more could I need? I'm not lazy so I don't need a car and I make enough that I can call a cab if I have something to bring home that I can't carry on my bicycle

Everyone has their own definition of making it and IMO making it is when your happy and content with life and you sound content brah congrats

>tfw just purchased some nomos random watxh cause it looked good
>tfw second fitting at gieves and Hawkes on Monday

Bit super duper rich, but I'm comfortable.

OP, I have a 119 I.Q. but grew up with a severely mentally deranged mother, then her equally fucked in the head mother, my grandmother, while my three aunts, my mothers sisters, didn't give a fuck about me. I was left alone with these evil rotten fucks and only when I turned 25 did I tell them all where to fucking go and haven't spoken to any of them since and my life is better for it..

It took me a few years to figure things out for myself as I was stunningly ignorant, having never received any advice or help from anyone, especially my worthless family.

13 years later, I'm 38 now, married and quite content with something resembling a career while also going to school so I can get qualifications in my chosen trade to improve my skills and make better money.

I'm not rich or good looking but I've worked hard, suffered and came out in the sunshine at the end of the tunnel. It's never too late until you're dead!

>tfw got a watch 2 weeks ago for 11.95 and it does the same as your watch

stay stupid rich man

do you live in america or specifically new york?

No I live in ontario canada

Being rich is incredibly subjective.

I make £65k basic and nearly double in bonus, but I feel so poor when I see the others I work with.

15 years ago I was exactly where you are now. Firstly, pick a trade, something that's not math/science heavy like welding. If you can build or fix something you can get work. Sure, you may have to go into debt but its either that or low paying wage slave jobs forever. Don't let the fear of debt keep you back.

fucking torontonians, you idiots are always causing traffic on your fagcycles

This is the attitude that I like in people....... nobody needs a fucking fancy car or 100 dollar meals every night or a 4 bedroom house with a jacuzzi and all that fancy shit to be happy

I make 18k a year and I'm happier than friends who make 90k+ a year because they're always stressed the fuck out

Because the Jews have enslaved my countrymen.

I live in Madoc ontario not Toronto. I'd kill myself if I lived in a place that populated

That's not a bad option providing that you specialize in something that is applicable to the outside world. I considered the army a few times but always bailed at the last minute because I always got this creepy sensation about how I noticed that everyone I encountered in the military didn't have a sense of humor. Just something off about those people.

I make 79k yearly before taxes its a 6-2 job. Im planning to go back to college for a personal training certificate so I could make 90K or 100K if im lucky.

>65k a year

poor is under 8k a year

>people on fit making over 50k a year, likely young single people, and claiming that they "feel poor"

cool humbelbrag thread

Don't fall into that "be your own man" bullshit. Your parents worked hard and have laid out life on a silver platter for you. Be glad that someone wants to set you up for a comfy life because virtually 99.99% of us here would have killed for that growing up.

Why do you need anymore than you already make? I don't get people these days...... more is not always better

I'm on the same boat as you, but my predicament is that the business that they want to give, is what made them "Americans", but it's a double edged sword, since every single day they come home absolutely destroyed and sick. How do you balance your health, vs business when you can only choose one.

Your life isn't shit you fucking moron. Go live on welfare with no help from mommy and daddy for two years and see how much fun it is you beat cuck faggot!

>tfw my cousin went to college and is a dumbass. spent 6 years of his life in community college. But his dad is training him in family business which make upwards of 200,000.

you see this bitch and you think.. hmm she might be smart the way her face looks. Then you remember she makes a living taking pictures of her tits.

Fucking women being whores

More like a bunch of people lying about their income, 50k a year is a lot of fucking money, I'm 37 and make 23k a year and live comfortably

i'm going to be a mangaka just need to get my skills up :^)

Those people live in Detroit.

This

Try living my life at 11.25 an hour with 875 dollars a month rent

I earn about $20,000 a year. The only reason I have a woman is because she's from poor as fuck Russia and counts her blessings that I'm not an alcoholic and can afford to feed & house us + a bit of leisure/domestic tourism.

She wants kids but I dunno how the fuck I will buy a proper house and feed them.

Welfare is fun you idiot you don't even have to work and they give you 650 a month

Almost all my friends are on welfare living the dream, they sleep until 4pm everyday and have no responsibility

Isn't the point of this thread to brag? If I was trying I would have just done it. I have three kids and seriously don't feel rich. Rich to me is having money to do whatever you want when you want to.

22k at 21 years old with no debt. Am I decent?

You've fallen into the money buys happiness thing brah, I make 18k a year and support my gf and I just fine and we're happier than my friends who are wealthy. ....... more money more problems isn't just a saying it's the truth and we are in a lot better shape than our friends because we walk everywhere and they drive a car

That's just fucked. Get a damn roommate or a cheaper dwelling. I don't even know how a person can do that apart from working 45+ hours a week.

I live near the capitol and prices here are ludicrous. houses in good areas are hitting the 1+ million dollar mark. I also want to support my brother in his college journey. Plus I want to afford a house before 35 and a nice car at 30.

You're doing great I make 980 a month and I'm turning 39 in January. I rent a room for 500 so I have 480 a month to do whatever I want with bro

Maybe I just feel entitled or driven to make over 6 figures at the end of my career. Just started as an analytical chemist after graduating college making 50k a year. I feel average as fuck and I'm considering going to grad school to make more money. Not sure if its worth my time though.

I work 60 hours a week I'm an adult and I can't get a roommate because there's only 1 room

Hamilton Ontario here.

Ty user.
A decent chunk of that will go to college if I don't keep good grades but that shouldn't be too bad. Going for CNC Tool Technology.
