I don't want to be rich, I want to have enough money to have the following:

• Hobbies
• A garden (even if it's a shared garden)
• Food on my table
• A home
• Maybe a vacation every couple of years

I currently have enough money for all of those except the garden because I can only afford a flat and my freeholders don't allow you to do any gardening.

The rest of my money can go to things I also want but not directly, like:

• A well educated population
• No homeless people
• No crime
• Healthcare for all
• Good parks and public services

I don't need any more money than what will get me that! I'll even take out the garden if I means I only have to work four days a week. If I had a billion dollars, what would I even do with it? That's far too much money!

I'm utterly convinced that whatever is going on mentally with people who have a hoarding problem is the same thing billionaires have as well except with money. It's literally a mental illness.

If I had a billion dollars I wouldn't work another fucking day in my life.

Billionaires have more money than they could ever spend, and spend so much time and effort trying to increase the size of the hoard and make sure they don't have to pay an extra fraction of it in taxes. It's a sickness.

You don't become a billionaire without being mentally ill, and for some reason we think the mentally ill are the most fit to run corporations.

I want Fuck You Money not Fuck Everyone Money

There is a reason you never hear of normal working people coming into a lot of money and turning it into billions. It takes some serious mental illness that usually is hereditary to have the drive to exploit soo many people for so long. Billionaires are special alright. But they are the kind of special the world could do without.

I want enough money to afford a small apartment, food, utilities, and healthcare.

(Yes I know im asking for a lot under this capitalist tyranny)

I think this stems from a misunderstanding of how much money a billion dollars is

I have financial security, I want everyone to have that.

I have had this conversation with my semi wealthy friends ... one friend in particular who probably has million or two in wealth. Not super wealthy but wealthy enough.

I've debated with him that there should be a wealth cap in society to not allow any one person to have such obscene amounts of wealth and that society should impose a wealth cap. He argued that this is a terrible idea because it would remove the incentive for everyone to want to achieve higher amounts of wealth ... it would demotivate people from wanting to achieve business and development. But he justified it by saying that he didn't like the idea and that it wasn't just about the money, it was the idea.

I'm beginning to think that many or most people are just preprogrammed to believe or want to believe in Gods and God Kings. That many or most people believe in the idea that there should be haves and have nots and that there is no solution that they could imagine to solve that situation.

Well I'll one-up the one who tweeted this.

I want everyone to have something that's higher than what a living wage would be. I want strong worker's unions that people are added to by default when they join the workforce of a business. I want the profit that a business makes to be divided equally among all the workers....with owner-operated businesses being the exception to that rule, but only if the operating owner only owns the one business they're operating

I want the necessity of charity to be a thing of the past, I want every american citizen to be able to own a house with a yard in a town that's designed well and I want policiticans to be afraid of pissing off their constituents. I want communities to be tight-knit and friendly with each other.

I have been considering at what point is accumulation immortal.

Clearly, location matters. I think certainly by $100 million, one is immoral ($4 million to safety spend each year.) Perhaps $10 million is immoral. I am fairly certain $5 million ($200K to spend in a year) is okay. I am confident that $1 million is fine ($40K per year.)

Thoughs?

I want $50,000,000 so I can park it in the bank and live off 2-3% interest for the rest of my life. Anything else I'll just donate or whatever while I volunteer or work a low paying job that's fun and rewarding.

I’ve calculated that I could retire right now on $3 million USD, and be able to maintain my current salary, with cost of living increases each year until I die.

I just want enough to be able to ensure I have a home, food, and healthcare. I’m basically hoarding money for an old age without socialism
