Any rich person born after 1993 can't party. All they know is gym, invest in they mentors, not work, be knowledgeable, do business, and lie.

Some of the most knowledgeable people I’ve meet were dirt-poor.

[–] Kyle_The_G@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago

most academics/research roles. Huge competition, your life depends on winning grants, requires PhD and years of training, poverty-level salaries.

It's hilarious to me that, while the author is trying to own working-class people's poor choice of hobbies, what it actually does is show the immense privilege of people whose only hobbies are various forms of "self improvement".

[–] MirthfulAlembic@lemmy.world 46 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I don't think this individual understands what a hobby is. Your job by definition is not a hobby.

Alternately, rich kids just pay off the carnival workers for the big prize without playing the game at all

A job is not a hobby. I feel that that shouldn't require explanation.

"So, do you have any hobbies?"

"Yep! I like job, invest in mentors, knowledge..."

It’s amazing how hourly workers brainwashed themselves into believing that they’re entrepreneurs.

They really believe the nonsense that bro podcasters sell them.

They’ll be 40 in an hourly retail position wondering where everything went wrong.

Poor people hobby > Job

Rich people hobby > Business

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 17 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Rich people having movie theatres, expensive gaming rigs at home whitelist surrounded by PAs & maids sounds like the first category.

Only the buying/renting/paying people with actual knowledge is kinda from the second.

But it's options.
Rich people have options, the luxury to choose whatever - they have the time (no job or financial-survivor stress) to choose said options, and if they fail also the financial safety net with catch them comfortably/without years of additional debt.

The 24h of a rich person are not the same as 24h of an average person.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 14 points 1 week ago

The actual bullshit message behind this:

A rich person is a good person and a smart person.

In posted this, so I am signaling to you that I am a good and smart person that will be rich if I’m not already.

Obviously the #1 life goal of all people is to be rich, so you should all be like me, and you should be ashamed when you take time to enjoy existence.

(Disclaimer: I’m not shitting on people who enjoy or find fulfillment in their job or their business)

You don't need to be rich to go to a gym or increase your knowledge.

In all fairness, this seems like one of those motivational posters where English isn't the native language. I suspect that what the person is trying to say: "if you want to stay poor, keep these habits. If you want to become rich, learn these habits." It utterly discounts the fact that, in the US, upward mobility has stagnated; the secret to becoming rich in the US is to be born rich. It's not impossible to improve your economic status, but it's hard. In some countries, it's still possible to move up a tax bracket within a decade.

I think American eyes read this differently than how the author intended.

I will call out that putting "work" in the poor row is BS, no matter what your philosophy. The only person I personally know who went from middle-middle class to lower upper has no personal life. He is his work. He's family and we often vacation together, and I've never been on a vacation with him when he didn't spend multiple hours on each of the days in meetings or on his computer. He's nearing 60 and is home about 50% of the year, and the rest of it he's traveling. We have a pool going for how long he'll stay retired before he commits himself to some board or something that demands half his time.

There's are three ways to get rich: inheritance, crime, and becoming your job.

Serious question. What is "invest in mentors"? I can't figure this one out. Like you pay people to mentor you?

[–] beebarfbadger@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

Also having been born into generational wealth and exploiting the finance system - that's the most famous rich-people-hobby.
