It makes no sense. Rich people are rich, society has chosen them to have everything they need. They should be happier than all poor people and most middle class people.
I just heard that the 18year old white, Christian daughter of a partner in the firm I work has bulimia and just came home from 6 weeks in the hospitals followed by a psych treatment in a private clinic. I once met her briefly, she looked awesome, blonde, 5'10 girl, good grades, has everything she wants.
Why do rich people still fuck up their minds? I grew up in a middle class family, but my father went bankrupt and I started from nothing. Having nothing didn't change my state of mind, I actually was a lot more free spirited and happier when I literally had 0 euros and lived off rice, veggies and half price off pork chops.

It's genetics.
Also, amongst the poor you'll find far more mentally ill
People are born fucked up, it doesn't make much of a difference what environment they grow up in, other than as a means to distract from their inherent problems. Their environment can bring out these issues more, but they are inherent within them no matter what.

That makes sense. I still don't get why rich people are often that fucked up in their minds, take drugs, have eating disorders, heart attacks, depression etc.

No one loves them.Emotional neglection/lack of communication leads to psychological disorders.
It's almost as if being able to fulfill your immediate bovine materialistic desires can't make up for the lack of spirituality and a transcendent element in your modern life.
Don't trust the jews telling you happiness comes with consumption of material goods.

Your premise is wrong, crazy knows no socioeconomic boundary. Poor and rich may have unique sources of stress but they are still there. The difference is how it is managed. When you are poor you are crazy, when you are rich you are eccentric.
My family is well off and generally well adjusted except for one member who clearly has some mental issue but has insulated themselves with money that they can continue to act how they want and have their lawyers and personal investigators/security deal with the consequences.

Same things that hit people of any socioeconomic status.
Eating disorders are often a result of body dis morphia. Sufferers perceive themselves as ugly or flawed regardless of their actual appearance.
Anorexia for example is considered to be the most actively lethal mental illness. People will starve themselves to death trying to lose weight because they perceive themselves as overweight even if they're stick figures.
Money can help ease stress in plenty of aspects, financial security is a very nice thing to have. But it can't protect you from your mind.

I was middle class before my father went bankrupt and died in an accident. Then I was a poorfag who managed to get through university by studying hard, getting scholarships for being poor and additional merit scholarships for straight As... and working next to studying.
Then I graduated with 21 and started working to support my little sister during her university studies plus supported my mother who only got a bare bones widow pension after my father died. And I still managed to go to the US for a one year master when I was 24 and climb the societal ladder and am now probably in the upper middle class in income (180k per year income gross).

>>79309993
As a poorfag who was once a bum and has clawed his way up into being a richy, I believe I have some unique input.
Most of them I know are sociopaths. And I mean even my "friends" and business partners. They might do "good things" like donate to charity or etc, but the reality is they are sociopaths. They do specific things to reinforce that they are good or human, sometimes only to themselves, and then brush off the rest. "Well I donated 5k to red cross this year so I'm not gonna look bums in the eyes when I come walking out of metro bank".
Next is their outlook. They've accepted the fact they're "above" some other people and the only way to stay there is by being aggressive in the first place. You see a transformation among the children of your rich or wealthy friends. They either get it or they don't. The one's who don't get it act like the typical spooiled rich kid who flips that the 80k car they were gifted for 16th birthday was wrong color. The ones who get it will still take that, then immediately use it to lord over anyone they can. Its like those stories you hear where chinese international students keep ending up shocked and amazed when US teachers turn down their bribes.
The number one thing I will explain to you all is that rich/wealthy people never show you their true self if they are smart. I know many who speak to their employees with 100% different facial expressions, voices, and body language than what they use out of work or at home. I cannot impress upon you this detail enough, I am talking complete personality shifts, acting beyond what a salesperson would do. I have three friends flying from Australia to America on the 12th of this month to go in-person to a seminar on body language and management. They are spending thousands of dollars and hanging out for 6 days just to learn how to lie better to employees and business partners. Shit like this goes on often.
CONT>
>>79310522
Hint: they don't.
Children born to rich parents may have this more than middle class kids (I doubt it though: it's more likely a confirmation bias) because many of these are disorders that arise out of trying to be "perfect", like in American Psycho where the main character can't get any satisfaction out of his perfect life so he turns to killing for a new thrill.
Also, on average, upper classers have less mental health problems.
t. Born and bred upper classer, went to Sweden's best boarding school. I'm bored as shit on a train right now so I'll answer any of your questions.
When one's life is free of physical and mental stressors the body and mind learn no way of coping with said stressors. So when something mildly stressful happens they lose their shit because they never learned how to deal. That's why so many SJW's cry so much because they have lived in a bubble their entire lives and never learned what the real world is like.
It also has something to do with being challenged and few rich people are ever challenged in their lives because money solves all challenges for the most part.
Pamper your kid and they turn soft, soft people are more susceptible to stress.

Unless you inherit your money, you have to step on a lot of backs, cut a lot of throats, etc. to get wealthy.
The more attached you become to the material world, the more your soul dies.
Without strength of spirit, you lose emotional control.
And, being wealthy makes you start to focus on a bunch of petty shit, like my foie gras was over cooked. At some point, staring out at the sky, or at the wall in the dark, reflection sits in, and these people realize they have nothing of meaning.
As a rule of thumb, as far as I have ever seen, poor people are FAR more generous than rich people.

I actually hat them so much, I completely despise them. But I'd rather be up among them than what I was before. They like me a lot and are definitely honest about it, they respect me for being able to do in 8 years what it took them or their dads a life to do along with help.
I hate how my friend sends all his drivers out without AC and laughs about it while sitting in his office with 2 fridges and one pointing at his desk.
I hate how another friends entire family is employed in their admin and many of them make double what factory workers down below make, or make more than other people in their department clearly working harder and /actually/ answering the phones and documents.
I hate how no matter who we talk to in a meeting the second the customer, employees, or partners leave they all talk mad shit about the tiniest details like their shoes, the laces, the lack of an expensive watch, etc. At the same time I have to keep grooming myself for 45 fucking minutes every morning to make sure no one ever says it about me.
I hate driving to pick up my partners kid and I see the fucker literally beating the shit out of someone as I pull up. I talk to his dad about it later he says "eh it happens all the time what are they gonna do about it lol". This is the fucker he wants me to help teach in 3 more years.
If I wasn't so hungry every god damn day for more, I'd snap and take them out. But I'm broken too guys. I became an animal who would use anyone and do anything to climb over others for my comforts. I'll climb over these fucks too. I'm never going to stop, ever. There's a type of "hunger" that if you experience it, you can never forget it. It will never go away. This is how you hear about tycoons being made who originally had only a dime in their pocket. We felt the same thing. Its why you hear Bill Gates is leaving his kids almost nothing, I would hate myself if I had kids and they turned out like all these fucks. They'll have to work as hard

it's a bittersweet pill anon, I'd rather be schizophrenic than have an eating disorder tbqh. my cousin is schizo and he seems way happier than me.
not to mention I have a fuckton of other mental health problems, it really kills me to be barely able to function when I want to do so much more. I was born into a lower middle class family, but my mother's side was upper middle. I think the reason more poor people have mental illnesses than the rich is because if you're born rich and have a ton of mental issues then you're going to go down in class. Then if you're born to someone who has mental illnesses and is in a lower class, the chances you will have mental illnesses is much higher. Feedback loop basically.
Grandparents uppermiddle -> mother is born to them, has depression -> ends up lower middle when I'm born -> have bulimia, depression, anxiety, borderline pd, gender identity disorder -> can barely sustain self, doing therapy multiple times a week -> sister is born after me -> has depression, anxiety, binge eating disorder, poss autism -> living with a drug dealer bf and going to arts school
hopefully if I can work my issues out or at least learn how to live with them and the traumas that gave them to me the I can be a productive member of society and either stay middle class or move upwards. My sister probably isn't going to go up in class. The difference here isn't a result of money, but it does affect class mobility. The traits I have that drive me to seek treatment and overcome my illnesses is similar to the drive the rich have to succeed, while my sister's defeatist attitude is characteristic of the lower classes who are resigned to mediocrity

I think human nature if one of struggle. If you're poor you struggle to make money. If you suck at sports you struggle to be better. If you're ugly you struggle very hard to mate. It's all struggle. If you're rich and have everything, the mind makes up struggles to give your life meaning. That's why rich kids get bulimia or have addiction problems.

Yeah I was trying to explain this to someone yesterday, how business and money, especially in fields where there is no product, just speculation and market manipulation, is like playing a competitive video game. Once you get good and get the hang of it, you take joy in crushing people, and the moment you run into someone better than you, you either befriend them and learn from them, or you work hard until you can crush them too.
Would you say that's a good analogy most could get?
Also, would you agree, having been a bum, as I have, that poor people are far more generous than wealthy people?
>>79309993
Because most rich people are fucking spineless fucks.

I always grew up as a poorfag but I chose to be a bum on purpose when I was 17 because of an abusive stepfather at home. Being a bum was actually more enjoyable than dealing with that. I finished school through a shelter program and was on my feet after, working at a UPS store for 2 years while religiously saving every penny as I shared a rented room at a house of asians, and my room mate was this old guy that couldn't speak english and he smoked all day.
I was going to college at the time with financial aid and doing my general while considering heading into medical. I met a girl online and she paid to fly herself over and meet me a few times. We hit it off and I flew to Australia to inspect it and quickly indentified there were five times the opportunities here. So I flew over and after 3 months I married her. I got to work immediately with her help and began investing while I picked up a day job as a courier at a clothing company. Because of my international status I have to do everything through her, and I made it clear to her that if we ever fall out I'd take care of her beyond our relationship out of my gratitude. She genuinely loves me though, but clams up and panics a lot cause she's not so good with business.
After 3 years I invested in a mcdonalds location for a year and saved money by managing it and handling its accounting myself. After that I sold it and took 2 red rooster locations that were failing in diff parts of QLD, but I was aware after some meetings with KFC that the KFC locations next to them were about to go under. Abusing that knowledge and laying low, I pumped cash into them and cut corners for 5 months until competition died and record results were had over the next year, but I knew it wouldn't last so I sold them.
Now I went back with what I learned from the laundering/couriering and I've invested into a CONT>

This a good analysis. I'd just like to mention though - most rich people don't spoil their kids, and if they do, that's where their dynasty ends. Middle classers may see them as "spoiled", because they perceive their clothes as expensive. But most rich children are raised knowing that if they want to get this as adults, they'll have to work for it. Rich parents teach their children how to swim, they don't carry them on their backs. That isn't spoiling, it's making sure your kid grows up to its fullest potential.
>>79309993
Depression/happiness really has nothing to do with where you are socioeconomically.
My best friend's brother committed suicide 2 months ago and he was going to a top 20 school, had amazing grades, was 6'2, etc. His family is so rich they have a basketball court inside they're house, have multiple Range Rovers, own 2 vacation homes, etc. yet he was still depressed
Money doesn't buy happiness, it just buys things that can give you temporary pleasure, but then you get sick of that and have to buy more and more things to fill in that empty space.
The biggest factor that I can pin to why rich people (and especially their kids) get depressed is because of pressure/stress. The children of wealthy people are almost ALWAYS stressed to do good in a sport and in school so they can get into a good college so they can get a good job to maintain they're wealthy status. This pressure leads to mental problems and depression, thus why so many rich kids have psychological problems. This most likely the reason why my friend's brother committed suicide.
Also, most of us deal with our problems with excessive drinking and partying. The most popular/attractive/richest girl in my grade back in high school was also an alcoholic.

I have not been given anything by society. I had to work for every penny. Everything i own i had had to work for.

That's the difference between you and me. You are happy cooking for yourself, eating rice and pork, driving a bike, etc. I detest it, I loathe it. Happy people are never rich. They are always poor. To become rich you must become angry first.

So basically what i got from this is that wealth is a good thing to have, but give greed an inch and it becomes the meaning itself.
Once it becomes the focus, it'll make a person what I'd describe a hollow.
More money, more and more, no matter the cost, and with that a person becomes paranoid, desperately not being able to trust anyone, because he assumes everyone is like him, greedily trying to attain more profit at the expense of others.
Wealth in small amounts is a blessing, in large amounts a curse.

Invested into a laundering and uniform company that delivers workwear to various factories, car dealerships, restaurants, etc. I use my knowledge from the fastfood years to figure out exactly what people want. With the amount I have invested in the company I was employed by the owner after some discussion rather than just waiting for dividends. Also because I impressed them with my track record and closing a 40,000 dollar a month deal with Brisbane Isuzu truck maintenance locations as a test.
Now I hang out with them in their stupid corporate culture and personally witness the type of asshole they are to their employees. I wouldn't run the business the way they do, and I make that clear to them as well, but I keep behind my chalkline as an investor and technical employee. In return they let me do whatever I want within certain guidelines and the budget. I'm an amalgam of advisor, sales, and regional manager, and have filled in when they needed a new one. Mostly I do some sales because our lead salesperson in Brisbane (where I live) is the scummiest fucker you will ever meet. I wouldn't trust the guy the second I made eye contact onto him and I feel customers feel the same. He's like an uncharasmatic John Leguizamo from "The Pest" and they keep him around only for his results. The problem is his results are often gained by lying, and become paperwork and delivery nightmares for those in other departments.
He sold a tradie on workwear who lives 20km down a fucking dirt road. Its not worth the gas we spend to even get out to the fucker, or the fact that if we had a "close stop" at a large factory we could have a 1000+ dollar location instead of a 20 dollar stop on that couriers route. The nigger takes customers like that to hit his quota, and I'm ready to hold a meeting and burn his ass for it since I actually know whats going on, unlike everyone else sitting in their fucking chairs.

I remember when it happened. It wasn't while I was still a bum, but it was when I had my first room for a week but had trouble affording food. I remember just suddenly feeling really angry all the time. Intense anger. I would look at the plaster wall and start to think "If I really wanted to I could go tearing at that with my bare hands, and get through it" and would think about why didn't other people do that when they threw fits or went nuts or wanted to escape being somewhere. It made me think about the story of how they chain elephants when young, and by the time their adult they "think" they cant ever break the little chains. Yeah yeah pretty gushy stuff.
But that anger kind of, never went away. Its actually a phrase I use often when I speak with my partners or some employees I like. I tell them "stay hungry", some people get it, some don't. I know I will always do better when I keep myself feeling hungry.

I'll admit truth to your words. I trust no one but my wife. Because I owe everything to her and she's had ample chance to fuck me over and hasn't. She decided to bet on my promise to do incredible and I have delivered for her. She had to pay for my immigration, visa, the works. I have to put many things in her name or the american IRS would assfuck me.

My friend's the kind of person who's constantly saying rich people are sad and do not enjoy life.
She works at this family business.
She, and her co-workers all say the same thing, everyone in that family is rich but miserable. And hence they extrapolate it's the same for rich people.
Because it's a family business and everyone's in close quarters, everyone gets to witness all argument, fights and the worse of the family.
The funny thing is... each one of them also have problems in their own families. No one's perfect, shit happens to everyone at some point. But we all hide and move on.
I mean.........I've seen people that scam their own parents; Someone's son has like 5 children with different women, and he doesn't recognize them as their own; Women who treat their 70 year old mother like shit; This man I know divorced and married a younger woman, then he got drugged by that woman's son who has some job in medicine, made him sign some papers, the guy lost his house; And this is just the shit that leaks out and gossip finds out.
But because rich people have a tendency to also big public figures, every now and then we find out SOMEONE wasn't happy one time... so we rejoice on that shit, we just fucking love it, because our life is so humble, we're poor but so much noble and generous, we fucking love it to believe rich people are shit.
I have never seen one rich man ever give up his fortune on behalf of money making him sad. It's 100 easier that someone wins the lottery, than a rich guy actually realizing he'd rather have no money anymore.
Rich people being truly that sad? I have my doubts.

The graduations of wealth are intense the higher you get. I know somebody who runs a division of a worldwide creative industry, literally the MD, she walks in and 200 people in an open plan office pay attention. She's also overstressed to the point of near collapse, and financially just breaking even because she lives in London, supports her husband and kids and has to live a certain way to maintain her fragile position.
She has to go out to the country at weekends to hang with the really rich old money aristos that actually own shit, and who treat 'creatives' as their interesting pets. She fucking hates that. All in all, her life is from the outside is glorious but objectively shit.

It doesn't matter she is rich and looks perfect. When you are born with those things you just accept that as the baseline for 'normal' and your brain focuses on new problems. It's just the human instinct to get acclimatized to situations.
This sexy girl's problem is probably because of some boyfriend calling her fat and leaving for someone skinnier. Because her father or mother are probably helicopter parenting her she turned to a self-destructive act to achieve catharsis.

If it was that easy I don't think many people would complain. Usually when you're poor in this country, you're forced to live around niggers and other undesirables, so in addition to doing everything that you said you also have to look at and deal with shitskins everyday until you can manage to pull yourself out of the hole.

I left home at 18 to avoid abusive family, I can't remember anything from before I was 13, and I have been classified by a psychiatrist as "almost certainly" having depersonalization disorder.
I have a pretty good life now that I'm 28 (nice gf, i own a house, don't have to work much, life's good) but I've only gotten to this point by flat out brute force.
I don't have limits, as weird as that sounds. The cold doesn't bother me, I don't care about the rain. I don't need comfort to go to sleep, I can go without talking to people for months (my personal record is 7 years of practically no contact with anyone). I simply do not need anyone. I'll sleep out in a thunderstorm if I want to.
People, especially upper middle class people, confuse me. They whine about minor difficulties, they whine about their jobs and their families and all of their friends, then they refuse to change their situation because they don't want to go through a bit of discomfort.
If there's one thing in life I've learned, it's that your life can go to complete shit within 30 minutes or less, whenever. Don't get comfortable, don't tie yourself down. Enjoy your situation sure, but don't rely on it being the way it is forever.
>>79309993
Apparently adversity is an essential component of being human and psychological wellness. Millenials are fucked
>dude why doesnt money solve everything lmao
are you serious?
No love, no meaning, etc. No motivation to drive them to the right path. Only following their own selfish ambitions.
When you are rich, money is a assumption it's basic nothing worth being happy about it.
Complete different perspective senpai.

One of the Zurich Axioms is don't plan. Long term financial planning and long term property roots is for the lower middle classes who will never be rich.

If you ever actually had it hard, money solves 98% of what life requires.
If you're spoiled it feels "so hard" even with cash.
I think its a fucking laugh whenever rich people "feel like the homless" and go sleep on a grass lot for 1 night in a downtown area with reporters staring. The farce is so unreal, I will never respect anyone I meet who does that.

You'll find that by and large, wealthy people live far happier and healthier lives than poor. There are far fewer among them who are mentally ill or fucked up. They just get more attention because when they fail, it's on a bigger budget.

There is plenty of misery at the top level and if you ever get there you will find that out.
Loneliness is still a huge threat. Buying friends or comfort people feels empty at the end of the day. All the fancy stuff in the world does not change the fact that some people just plain don't like you because of your wealth and power.
Some of those people who don't like you will actually kill you for money, so you learn quickly where not to go. Any poor friends you have tend to get jealous. Any rich friends you have tend to become competitive pricks.
Being rich is having most of the same people problems you have in the lower middle class level except the lack of money problem.

They face no hardship and those with power have no responsibility to their society now.

Rich people are so dumb.
Whenever someone rich goes through divorce or something like that, they should just buy another wife and instantly go back to be happy.
And if a relative dies, they should just buy a new relative. Problem solves!

No thank you, I'll go back to thumb sucking with Freudian symbolism.
I wonder if its a lack of goals/ambition since they dont need to worry about money.
I mean normal people are never satisfied, we get used to improvements and seek more. What's left to seek if you're rich? I make american median household and I already started feeling empty once I bought everything I could ever want (short of luxury items). Now ive shifted to being creative and I'm craving experiences. Maybe once those luxury items are in reach they are just troubled and direction less, unless they get greedy and just aim for more and more money just for the sake of money.

Rich people are normally more insane than poor people.
I believe this has to do with poor people requiring a regular routine to survive. If a poor person doesn't go to work, or even if they don't show up to a soup kitchen and stand in line on time, they don't eat.
A rich person eats whatever, whenever. They do not need to look at price tags, they do not need to check their bank account.
Most of the time they also have "Rich Person" jobs that don't even require them to show up on time if at all.
I am CTO of a mid-sized company that IPO'ed 2 years ago. I was 15% owner, dumped 10% of my stocks and now have quite a lot invested and liquid.
I am cartoonishly insane. I don't want to get into details, but its not all just being power mad, but also a lot of self hate and self loathing.
I don't think you can properly hate other people or be properly evil unless you really truly hate yourself first.
100 years ago you would have been deemed mentally ill for any number of reasons, homosexuality, bdsm, blowjobs, name any fetish and it would deem you mentally ill. if you are depressed you are mentally ill. there is no metric known to mankind for what the fuck "depressed" is, other than our words describing our emotions, which is possibly the most subjective thing there is
what im trying to say is that psychology is modern shamanism, it's horseshit that middle class white women can spend their money on for whatever reason
