re: Average Lives Are Depressing AF

Life is all about perspective my man.

quote:

---

be a wagie - wake up to an alarm at 6am everyday

Idk what a wagie is, but my alarm is at 7

quote:

---

get a wife because youre scared of being alone for the rest of your life

---

I do have a wife, and it's not because I'm scared of being alone. Before I met this woman, I was perfectly content with being alone forever. This woman makes me happier than I could ever describe. Sure, she annoys me sometimes, but she gives me so much joy, and at times sex.

quote:

---

get fat because youre too tired to exercise after work

---

I'm not fat. I could be in slightly better shape, sure, but I work out 2-3 times a week and lead an overall very healthy life.

quote:

---

go to chic-fil-a once a week because you think youre sophisticated but youre really just paying for overpriced chicken

---

I do enjoy ChikfilA, but not because I think I'm sophisticated or some shite. I'm just an average man who enjoys a spicy chicken with polynesian sauce.

quote:

---

make a child - give up all your dreams and goals

---

I don't have a kid yet but one of my biggest life's dreams is to have kids and raise them to be awesome people who will do great things in this world. Traveling, job promotions, etc all pale in comparison to my love for my family.

quote:

---

cope by saying "at least im continuing my legacy"

---

I don't have a reason to cope. I don't view kids as giving up on my dreams or goals at all.

quote:

---

your once kind wife is now fat and bitchy

---

I've got a good woman. That, I'm sure of. I want her to remain healthy for all of her life, and I will support her the best I can to ensure of that. She can be bitchy sometimes, but hell I know I'm not perfect either.

quote:

---

be a wagie for 20 more years to support your crotch spawn

---

You mean to tell me by working a job I thoroughly enjoy I get to then go home and have the time of my life raising up my offspring and see them grow and flourish. I love that plan. I love my future kids.

quote:

take a shitty vactation to disney land once per year

---

I'm not a Disney guy. I prefer going to the Beach instead. There are not many things better in life than waking up and looking out through your balcony and seeing the sunrise over the beautiful ocean view right outside.

if youre not top 10% looks/money than life just seems not worth living

if youre not top 10% looks/money than life just seems not worth living

---

Money doesnt mean shite to me. It would be nice to have more money to pay off some debt, I owe, sure. But I have enough so that I can live a good life, have all my needs supplied, and do not live paycheck to paycheck. While I am sure it would be fun for a while, I have absolutely no desire to be a billionaire or even a hundred millionaire.

quote:

---

---

Me neither.

I actually need financial challenges. If I get too confortable with anything in life, I get bored.

I would also probably destroy myself with unlimited funds and time

quote:

---

but if someone handed me $10 million tomorrow I'd never work again

---

y'all are so bougie

$2M would be baller. 7% return is $140k/year

hell $1M and that $70k would be enough to semi-retire. i could just run half a practice and play poker and be in teh 10% while being happy

half that interest (which you can get on some checking accounts) is $70k/year, and that's never touching the principal

Ahhhthe perk of me being a peon secretary. Nothing wrong with that.

WTF! There's people out there that think like this?

quote:

---

even poor white trash doesn't see Chick Fil A that way

---

I love the overpriced part too. A chicken sandwich combo is like $7 at CFA. It is probably one of the cheapest options out there outside of dollar menus.

there is a reason the author of this book



used Red Lobster. even poors (and that book isn't exactly new) understand "nice restaurants" require you to sit down

quote:

As much as I like rocket, I can't get over the fact that at his heart he's still a dude who has so little confidence in his intellect and abilities that he's a devout socialist who wants the government to take care of him - to take my money and give it to him because he doesn't have the mettle to compete in life. It's one of the most beta traits a man can have.

Something that little guy could never respond to
