I'm a average people who became rich people with Bitcoin. So now I'm just the top panel without the work.

I dont say this to brag, but to encourage other average peoples to become rich people too.

Invest in mentors, huh.

Definitely doesn't have a relevant detail in his bio.

[–] beebarfbadger@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

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

[–] Zink@programming.dev 14 points 2 days 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)

I swear rich people have no actual interests

[–] SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 8 points 2 days ago

The ones that do are not spending their time posting sociopath bullshit on LinkedIn.

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.

"So, do you have any hobbies?"

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

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 13 points 2 days ago (1 children)

What is this? Some pseudo-wisdom from a “life coach” or something?

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Grindset life bs. It's extremely stupid, they all brag about not enjoying life like it's a terrible insult to everyone else.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 31 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 days ago

Sometimes, hobby becomes job and stops being hobby :c

One must delete facebook and lawyer up before one can ascend to the realm of #4. Profit.

They forgot that the main criteria for ending up in the "rich" group is "be born rich".

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

[–] myrrh@ttrpg.network 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

...but you do need to be rich-enough to afford time not spent preparing for work, working, nor recovering from work...

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

[–] pinkystew@reddthat.com 6 points 3 days ago

Or mass deport them after living off their labor for decades

[–] Fredselfish@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago (2 children)

So I am middle class then. Man why does it still feel poor?

[–] chocosoldier@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 3 days ago

there is only the working class and the owning class. those other classes were made up by the owning class, to divide the working class.

[–] UltraGiGaGigantic@lemmy.ml 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

you are working class. We all are.

[–] Aceticon@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Nowadays, there are really only two classes:

  • The Owners class, which is people who live off the money that's made by the assets they own.
  • The Worker class, which is people who live off the money they get from selling their work.

What was called "Middle Class" generally are just workers who earn a bit more, though the older Middle Class did at times manage to save enough to buy enough assets that they could start living of the income from those assets and not have to work anymore. That's not the case for young people nowadays who would qualify as Middle Class due to their level of formal education and the kind of work they do because it's way harder for them to save and asset prices are through the roof.

A job is not a hobby.

[–] MirthfulAlembic@lemmy.world 46 points 3 days ago (2 children)

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

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

Oh come on, I doubt it's that large.

[–] caboose2006@lemmy.ca 7 points 2 days ago

I made the comment that rent should be tax deductible, just like a mortgage, and some rise and grind boot licking doofus said "you can if you run a home business." First of all, do you need to run a home business in a home you own to write off your mortgage? No Secondly, not everyone in the country can run a home business. Imagine the chaos.

[–] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Was this written by a prev-gen LLM?

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 26 points 3 days ago

making enough money to be able to pay rent and eat something is my new hobby!

[–] cultsuperstar@lemmy.world 12 points 3 days ago

Wow, this is such bullshit.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

Job is not my hobby, job is how I pay for my hobbies.

Also I wish learning got me rich. Unfortunately I don’t bother learning stuff that makes money. I am however shockingly educated on certain subcultural histories.

[–] Evil_Shrubbery@lemm.ee 17 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days 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.

[–] hannesh93@feddit.org 21 points 3 days ago

Ask yeah - Elon "I'm in the global top 10 in Diablo" Musk sure doesn't have gaming as a hobby...

[–] BoxOfFeet@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago

Looks like an Amway ad.

[–] sxan@midwest.social 12 points 3 days ago (1 children)

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.
