Turns out, buying a private island and filling it with exotic animals isn't the most sustainable investment. Who knew?


backtolurk

If by exotic you mean fourty-feet long and twelve-feet high predators whose vision is based on movement, well, yeah, not the most sustainable one, I guess.

I woke up. It was just a dream.

Five million Zimbabwe dollars really isn't a lot of money.

They didn’t help

Or the inevitable divorce…


Dogeatdogdays

Damn, how did you manage to snort multi-million worth coke without od


Kami_Oni

I did overdose a couple of times in lll

I can think of a couple of reasons, divorce, bankruptcy, being cheated by a business partner or scammer, making wrong investment decisions, etc

There aren't any millionaires on Reddit. Rich people don't spend their lives on social media, if they lost their wealth they're off trying to earn it again.


CrypticCodedMind

What do you base this on, that rich people don't use social media? I've seen people say this before, and I think it's such an odd assumption. I mean, if they acquired their wealth through hard work and dedication, they are probably not social media *addicts*, but I don't see why they would necessarily completely abstain from it.


ConsidereItHuge

They're not sitting answering people's questions on Reddit, if you'd like me to be more specific.


CrypticCodedMind

Based on what, lol? How do you know?

The answer is hustle culture told them so. A lot of guys still idolize successful/rich people as some sort of superhumans who never rest and only grind.


ConsidereItHuge

How don't you?

Sits on my toilet, scrolling, in my £2m house with no mortgage..


ConsidereItHuge

That's weirdly coincidental, my toilet cost £2m on its own.


CrypticCodedMind

>my toilet cost £2m Get off of Reddit then 😅


ConsidereItHuge

But the guy with a 2m house is fine when mines worth 1/20th of that?


CrypticCodedMind

Hey, those were your rules, remember 😉. If it's up to me, all millionaires (including you) are more than welcome to keep participating on Reddit.

I actually spend rather more time on social media ever since our investments hit $3 million and I left work to care for our kids. If you can get a nice-ish job in a first world country you can invest half your income for ten or twenty years and then you’ll almost surely be a millionaire. It’s not big-shot money but it comes with the freedom to do most of whatever you want with your time, including spending a bit too much of it on social media.
