I’d like to report in as someone at the end of that process and is actually making good money.
Now I need:
More time to hang out with friends and family. 🥲
At least you can cry in your mcmansion.
(Joking ofcourse)
At a certain point you just realize that the game is stupid. You buy a watch to show how rich you are, but all anyone sees is the next most expensive watch you didn’t buy. It’s completely pointless once you cross some threshold in terms of basic needs for materials and recreation.

Extremely clever, well done
Greed is like a mental illness, and only an ill society rewards it.
Thinking you need more money does not mean you’re greedy though.
For real. I have a lot of problems right now, and there’s not a single one of those problems that can’t be solved with an adequate amount of money.
I, like I think a lot of people, fantasize about winning the lottery not because I’m desperate to live in a mansion or to have a $500k sports car in my driveway, but because I dream of watching all my problems absolutely evaporate before my eyes.
I have a disability and I’m a student so I have zero physical or mental energy to have a job next to my almost full time study. I used to just be broke all the time. I found out there’s a city government fund for people exactly like me, and it honestly so fucking crazy what that extra 300 euros a month does. It’s not just that I can afford necessities and something fun once in a while but it gives so much peace of mind. One of my cats was sick a few months ago and I could just take her to the vet and have her blood work done without having to stress about it.
xactly. Any other problems are usually self made or if not then the money still can ameliorate them greatly. Like being crippled. Better to have a nice house, someone to come clean, with stair lift and such than to be on the streets with a tiny tim crutch.
What are some of these problems, if I may ask?
Probably things like living paycheck to paycheck. Needing a new washing machine or some other device but not being able to afford that yet. Not being able to have your car repaired or buy a car so you have to use public transport and walk long distances to get to your work.
I mean that’s what I imagine. A little money would make those problems go away. But when your paycheck only covers your rent, bills and food, you never get to save up for things.
I mean I can imagine those things as well :) But I was still interested in the specific person and not some abstract possibilities :)
Ah, I get it. Don’t mind me then, I’m someone else.
Hello someone else, I’m Azzu
Find the other people who don’t want to have problems and solve your problems together.
Easy to say
In theory it’s one lemmy submission away
True, but do you see anyone rewarding the character in this comic/meme? Nope. That’s because he isn’t greedy, he is just anxious.
When a billionaire wants more, or a corporation, THAT is a display of greed. Which is rewarded.
Should’ve wrote my first comment more clearly as it does come off like an okboomer criticism of anyone needing more money

Yeah, and having stuff to eat is amazing too
And being able to entertain yourself sometimes so you aren’t just thinking about how you need a roof over your head or something to eat, that’s neat
That’s not greed.
Over-consumption loop.
You work hard for money -> so you buy unnecessary stuff since you earned it -> you have no money -> you work hard for money…
I have quit this loop by limiting my consumption to minimum. My friends ask me why don’t I buy X if I can easily afford it and it will make my life better. Well, not better enough to justify waste of both my money/time and Earth’s resources to manufacture something.
Also over-consumption is a fuel to capitalist dystopia.
I have already limited my consumption to a minimum. Now I just need to make more money.
While this is true, this is severely short sighted and misses the perspective of being impoverished and constantly being unable to make ends meet even after you have cut luxury from your life.
Becomes a billionaire: … NEED TO MAKE MORE MONEY!!!
Corporations when they only made 1 billion gajillion shmillion dollars net profit last year
Not if we overthrow the capitalist system.
I’m trying!

Q: How do I make more money? A: Scam other’s out of their money
Money always has to come from someone else.
Difference being with honest work, people value your product and it actually does what you are promising.
Scams are not this.
Work harder, better, stronger faster. Work, work, work.
Just pull yourself up by your bootstraps /s
Here you can have my money 💰💰

this is the best version of this meme I have ever seen.
How I’ve felt lately. Smh
Its tough being a counterfeitter

Unrelated to the meme, but I appreciate your username. Do you prefer chair conformer or boat conformer?
