Ultra rich unsatisfied: study

I am not ultra rich.

But I AM ultra happy!

Isn't the point of getting money so you can be comfortable and thus enable you to be happy?

Well, once you're happy, why do you need any more money?

Especially if it is going to cause more stress to get more money.

That makes zero sense.

Actually, it's a lot of stress to have a lot of money because they you have to worry about it. When you're really rich, how do you know if people are hanging out with you because they like you or if they want to be around money? If you're not ultra rich, you don't have that problem.

Money buys sex, which is what most men seem to want.

"Love" is a silly concept, IMO.

a sociopathic outlook on life


you peer in to your cold dark heart and imagine all hearts are as cold and dark as your own


the reality is they are NOT like your heart


YOU ARE A CRIPPLE


your brain has faulty wiring


Love is real and its not just sex


You are just too broken to experience it


Its not your fault


you were just born broken


that is why we don't let people like you run things


you are incapable of functioning as a full human being


pain you can feel

sadness you can feel




Love you can not feel


so you don't seek to share LOVE with others


you instead seek to inspire pain in people


you seek to inspire sadness in people



you are too pathetic to understand the real world


accept your disability

I wonder if 99% of the world's population would share that smug assessment.

So you say. I suspect you are lying.

Unintentionally ironic word salad.

Donate your houses to the homeless, hypocrite.

Poor Desh. Your thread isn't working out for your POV very well in light of the facts, is it?

Donate your houses to the homeless, hypocrite.
 
This explains the obsession with more more more:

Another expert I consulted, Brooke Harrington, a professor at the Copenhagen Business School who has studied and written about the financial practices of the super-wealthy, says that the question many rich people ask themselves about their money is not Do I have enough to buy this expensive thing I want? but rather Do I have as much or more than these people I’m comparing myself to?

Hint: It ain't about happiness. It is greed, personified!
 
Just like the golf score,

It's all about a NUMBER!

Shteyngart also witnessed the hedge-funders making the sort of social comparisons that Norton and Harrington described, treating money as a “scorecard.” He remembers one of them saying something along the lines of, “We don't have bestseller lists and book awards. What we have is this—the number at the end of the day.”

Sad.

The 'happiness' number.

As if such a thing could exist.

Fools.

or fear of being inferior


If you cant have friends who have more money or less money than you and still think of them as your equal you have a problem
 
Wow.

Sad to even immerse oneself into that mindset:

The whole experience did not leave Shteyngart feeling good. Here were people who could purchase anything they could ever want and whose wealth was widely envied, and even they weren’t content—just as these researchers studying happiness and wealth might have predicted. “At the end of the day,” Shteyngart told me, “I was just happy to end this research, because it was quite depressing.”

That is just SO shallow.

And to think that they are like Trump, choosing to spend time with their career instead of family and friends.

SAD!
 
What Desh didn't mention

When it comes to the global income distribution, we are the 1%.

The bottom 10% of the U.S. income distribution falls in the upper 30% of the global income distribution.

With more than a billion people around the world now living on less than $1 per day, even poor Americans are living in better conditions than many of the global poor.
