  • I never said I don’t comprehend the gaps. I’m saying they don’t matter.

    Tom is a rich guy, who doesn’t need to work for a living. He lives off the interest in his bank account.

    Jeff is a rich guy who doesn’t need to work for a living. He lives off the interest in his bank account.

    Bob is a guy who has some savings, but if he stops working he becomes full of debt.

    The difference between Tom and Jeff are the number of decimal points in their bank accounts. The difference between them and Bob is that Bob doesn’t work to maintain an image, or run a company. Bob works because he HAS TO.

    The second you have the ability to quit your job, and not impact your ability to live, is when you’re rich.

    Sure, there’s a big gap between having a few billion, and having a few million if you look at numbers. There is no difference however with you being required to work. Thats why the gap doesn’t matter.









  • Thats the whole point of the original comment. I can’t figure out WHAT his motivation is, when his entire career is him basically saying “DESTROY ME! I SHOULDN’T HAVE THIS MUCH MONEY! NOBODY SHOULD!”

    …but whys HE saying that. Like I could understand if he made like 30k a year, and had a few thousand in savings. But he’s the image of who’s he’s trying to turn the torches on. Is it intentional? Does he not realize?

    Meanwhile, people read the innitial comment I made, and are defending him by saying he’s not the problem.

    Which completely misses the point.
