The wealthy make charity necessary. Never praise them for appearing to make it possible.
Comment on I'm not asking to be rich.

I don't want to be filthy rich because I think I'd do a lot of dumb things more than I would doing charitable things.
I just want to be paid enough so it doesn't feel like I look at how little I have left to play around going "eh, I'm okay with this" when I know I'm not okay with this in the back of my mind.

You don’t have to “spend” all your money. Live frugally, invest the rest, then retire early or donate it or something. Spending your whole paycheck is very bad at any income level, but it turns out when you’re poor you don’t get a choice.

When you don't make enough to survive, spending your whole paycheck is not bad because that is all you have.

Yeah that’s why I wrote that.

It is NOT bad though. That is very judgemental.

Hi, the first snippet is in response to the commenter’s quote: “I don’t want to be filthy rich because I think I’d do a lot of dumb things more than I would doing charitable things.”
To which I replied that being rich doesn’t mean they need to spend all their money.

Time to build a massive mansion and a literal castle and an underground train system connecting them able to be operated by one person (ie me) because fuck other people.
