>money can't buy you happiness!
I know right, if only I had money I'd be very happy. Wouldn't have to worry about anything really
>how can you be free when you have so many obligations

Not funny. Try again later.

This. It's very funny how busy and worried poorfags always are.

>money can't buy you happiness
I fucking hate this meme. It does buy momentary happiness. Are these poorfags in a state of perpetual mania? I know they feel down too. I rather be crying in a mansion then crying in a rundown house on the bad side of town.

>I didn't opt into the 401k (with company match ) because I don't know how. I'll do it later...
I have almost literally held my coworkers hands to get them to opt in because I felt bad for them. It's amazing how financially illiterate some people are.
>>24127450
>i had to walk, because i hadn't moni for bus
The problem is they're missing the second half of the statement. "...But it sure does help."
I can't help but think about how happy I could be with more money. It would open up a lot of doors for me. Even just a million.

In this magical hypothetical world, I'm already a lot fucking happier.

Not poor, but not rich, more like well off here.
How do I start to understand the stock market? I get the basics (I've taken econ 101) but I don't know how to play the market or make money.
>>24129534
The stock market is gambling is the one that annoys me the most. I'm indifferent if they say it's complicated because a lot of people do make it sound too easy and say retarded shit like "stock market is down today because x"

There's almost no difference between the quality of life of a billionaire and someone making $70,000 a year. Once you hit $70,000 the returns level out fast.

http://www.investopedia.comYou probably won't make much off the stock market. I would just go for average returns by Index investing. It's not much but it adds up over time
>>24129703
You don't play the market, you're supposed to invest it. Trying to play the market is how you lose. Find low expense etfs from vanguard and hold onto them for 25 years. That's how you invest.
That's something rich people say to garner sympathy
Making an effort to be happy makes you...happy. Sadly (lolno) the actions of happiness are disparate of the habits which espouse sadness. Basically, when being happy, the abolition of sadness is required; many habits usher in sadness, and happiness requires the abolition of those habits.

If you think you can "play the market" you're going up against algorithms that trade in a fraction of a second up against firms that manage over a trillion in assets who employ Ivy league grads.

When I was younger, my grandparents would say this once a week while shopping at Wal-Mart.

if you don't know shit just focus on index funds
all you need to do is just pay attention to the industry/economy of the fund and pull out if it looks like its going to shit

Except $70,000 is barely fuck you money let alone luxury money.
Billionaires can buy pretty much anything they want with little thought to the matter. A person making 70k a year still needs to weigh their financial options in buying anything slightly luxury if they're independent adults who pay for their own utilities, rent, food, etc.
General hinting about wanting you to cover for them/pay for their shit when they haven't done anything for you and they spend the little money they do make on weed.
>>24130200
$70K only makes sense if you are going to never be frivolous and cut out any sort of convenience, then sure, you could live like a "billionaire" who made the same life decisions as you.
You could pretty much say you were living like anyone richer than you and pretend they are going to make the same decisions as you.
