Fatgirlhedonist might not be a millionaire, because hardly anybody is - and anybody who promised her she would be was full of shit - but making her own coffee has certainly left her with money she didn't have before. I've always saved money the same way, by doing as many things as I can for myself. I really don't see how there's anything wrong with that.
I'm going to downvote you anyway, not because what you said was untrue or hurtful or disrespectful in any way, but because you're harshing the general unforgiving vibe of the room and I need to stand with my fellow mob.
I upvoted them.
The key to the Massive Fraud strategy is that you have to already be in the tax bracket that allows for privileges like massive fraud. If you try to do it without meeting that lone prerequisite you end up being arrested by the IRS.
I've been smashing my own avocados like a chump!
Ah yes, but have you tried brewing avocado coffee at home?
This could work
They can rip my vanilla latte out of my cold dead hands.
Being a millionaire is easily doable now on a regular 9-5 job if you're paid fairly. In my city at least, I can tell you that a software dev can reach millionaire status within about 20 years of work. No fraud needed unless you count ETF investments or software dev as fraud.
SBF tried but went too greedy.
Or what about having rich parents or relatives?
Step 1: Be rich.
Step 2: Don't be unrich.
Sensible move to save money though.
Have you tried having rich parents?
the primary habit of successful people is fucking over ignorant poor people who don't realize they're being fucked over
Also, make sure you own at least one media giant. Then, you can use it to spread agit-prop about how our society shouldn't do anything that inconveniences rich a$$holes.
I get the feeling that the ultra successful also fuck people over who very well do realize that they are being fucked over
Powerlessness is the key demographic
I was just at a depressing job fair trying to recruit for maintenance. It was held at a plant set to close in 3 days. Most of the people I talked to were there for 30 years. It was partially employee owned. Somehow a person in power (I don't know the piece of shit's title) convinced the employees to sell their share at the promise of expansion and investment.
The person in power closed the shop, cashed out, and retired. Will not have to worry about a thing. 200 some people and families now have their lives upended at the benefit to few.
This kind of aligns more with the person you responded to but still relevant.
Shit like this is always on my mind when I think of how better things would be if the economy was set up in a way that employees were paid with both money and equity in the company they are a part of. The main difference would likely come down to the employees at least getting a share of the sale proceeds when someone else wants to buy the business and liquidate it.
Though I'd hope that most would at least hold out and not take the first big offer.
But I don't think that a majority vote should be enough to liquidate a business. If just one share wants to keep going, other shares should only have the option to sell their own shares or try to buy the holdout out.
