90% of work seems devoted to enriching others and fostering their contentment. As one works hard - he returns to his shitty small apartment. relying on less-than-ideal transportation, such as an old vehicle or public transport. Meanwhile those who are affluent have their retreat at their expansive and luxurious houses and residences, driving around in opulent vehicles and embark on frequent vacations to destinations the average employee cannot even save for in 10 years of work.

The pursuit of a joyous existence is pointless unless one is endowed with physical fortune. Yet, even affluence merely provides a chance or a prospect for happiness; it does not guarantee it. Money, however, undeniably leads to an easier life, contributing to a heightened sense of well-being, provides a safety net and opens many doors. Being wealthy is not a matter of 'hard-work', an industrious employee works as hard as a business owner or whatever it may be, the only difference is that one has the ability to fail multiple times due to familial wealth, and the other cannot. A small business owner that gets wealthy is a rare occurrence, as he is reliant upon a solitary opportunity to succeed, perhaps through a loan. An irreversible descent into debt is guaranteed for most small business, you may look up the statistics yourself.

The rich are divided from the rest by virtue of ostensibly disparate fates. The essence of a menial job often lies in the notion that your very being is committed to facilitating another person's chance of a gratifying life.

There is no happiness in spite of poverty, there is only a chance at happiness through wealth and material security. and I'm sick of people trying to convince me otherwise. I've been both wealthy and poor - and I've only been on a trajectory towards happiness in the former state. I have the experience.

Absolutely agree with you on this.
I think all the rich folks should be thrown into a swimming pool filled with boiling diarrhoea.

There is a bad "bottom up" trend. Not all wealthy people are like this. Some do great work, treating their fortune as a gift and give back. Others are less charitable and focus on getting more.
There was the phrase "eat the rich" but I bet most would be as bitter and unpaletable as they are in life.

If working hard guaranteed wealth, chambermaids and roofers would be billionaires.

I always think about this, and it's a big reason for my suicide. To know I will forever work for the pleasure and satisfaction of someone else tormnets me. To live a average life and on the brink of survival rather than living, while seeing people live life to the fullest, fills me with despair.

The funny thing is, i could care less about the fancy cars, food, and automobiles.
I'd just like to never worry about being able to pay my bills again.
My job's office with no notice 3 weeks ago (so no more job), and my shitty car broke down for the last time on the same damn day, so this seems pertinent to me.
If I didn't have the gutter rat skills of survival that i was raised with i wouldn't even be writing this.

I haven't done the maths but it wouldn't surprise me if there was less chance of becoming part of the 1% than there was winning the jackpot on the UK lottery (1 in 45 million chance),
and people would say playing the lottery isn't worth it but they will keep telling us to try and become rich.

agreed.

There's gotta be a way to work it out. I definitely do think there's a much less chance of becoming part of the 1% then winning any kind of lottery.

I agree. I've often always thought why do we have exist in a world where so few people have so much wealth at this disposal.

Idk, i can't really say that I'm at a place right now where i am exactly contributing to the great benefits of the world or the society! Pretty much the opposite. Which is absolutely not a fun and very cool feeling.

Me toughing out the concept of death to remain outwardly happy while a rich person is having a breakdown that their friend hasn't liked their posts in 13 hours.

Jokes aside, rich people suffer so easily from such tiny things, I wouldn't want to be one lol.
