    I feel like both my parents passed me their combined mental and physical health issues, I want to break that cycle with me.

      Yeah it fucking worse. My dad is wealthy and a boomer who had all handed to him, but believes his kids should pull them up by their bootstraps. He likes flaunting in your face too on how much money he got.

          he probably sees it more as a type of twisted mercy which he was never shown. People are weird, motives don’t have to make sense to everyone for them to make sense to someone. Also many cases where people act first and only begin to rationalize their behavior, even to themselves, long after decisions have been made and steps taken

        Oh my goodness, this hits close to home. I’m having to donate so many tea sets, figurines, and decorative plates from my grandparents. I feel guilty because they clearly loved them and paid good money for them, but I just can’t house this amount of clutter if I’m never going to use it. Royal Doulton must have made a fortune off their generation.

        That give you 14 days to devote to a different Sociopathic Oligarch. The fact that you aren’t, makes me sick. Those Sociopathic Oligarchs deserve your back-breaking labor, they have expensive lifestyles, and it’s your patriotic obligation to indulge them, and work until you die an early, penniless death from a malady that is easily treatable with basic health care that you can’t afford.

      I’m pretty sure mine did too, but I’m learning to make it work to my advantage where possible and to keep myself away from places I don’t thrive.

    You’re better off. Rich kids grow up to be assholes.

    Edit:

    Everybody thinks becoming rich will solve all of their problems. But even if it does solve some of your problems, it’ll just create new ones. Money is not a panacea that fixes everything. I mean, you look at the richest people and they’re not just assholes, their fucking psychopaths. That’s what you want? You wanna be a fucking psychopath? Oh, but, I know, it won’t be you. You won’t fall into the same trap as them. You’ll be one of the good ones. Money won’t corrupt you like it has them. Bullshit.

    And what about everyone else? Not everyone can get rich. There are only so many resources on the planet and the more you have the less everyone else can have. It’s a zero sum arrangement. But, who cares about them, I got mine. Right? Congratulations, you’re well on your way to being a rich psychopath.

    B_(.)_(.)_m+erz were never good with money they just had money. Having money and keeping that money means you are good with money. Lower lever contiplations distract from the task of smashing crapitalism but boy do I like a good meme. The way liberals view north koreans is the way I view my elders.
