So the solution is to figure out how to put in long hours effectively, not to throw it away. That's an excuse. Do you want to be rich, or not?

- nonrandomstring 4y ago> Do you want to be rich, or not? No. I'm a Christian and humanist you insensitive clod :) Really and sincerely I do not. If there's one philosophy I could share - that's given me a truly awesome life filled with gratitude, meaning, mostly decent health, intimate human relationships and personal agency it would be look for the riches you already have.
- dekken_ 4y agoMuch simpler to compare billionaires to hoarders/morbidly obese.
- luckylion 4y agoI'm sure you personally get more happiness by not doing (too much) more than necessary, but as a "Christian and humanist", aren't you asked to do more? You can replace "being rich" with "helping others", it still applies: you can trade comfort, sanity and health for more output, whether that's money in your account or helping those in need.
- novosel 4y agoThe question is rather: MUST You be rich, or not.
- almost_usual 4y agoRich people start their own companies, if you work long hours and do that then I guess it might be worth it. It’s unlikely you’ll get rich grinding tasks for someone else.
- goodpoint 4y agoNobody gets rich by doing a lot of work. You get rich by taking the value generated by other people's work.
- kieselguhr_kid 4y agoIf you aren't born rich, breaking out of the working class, even the top tier of it, requires significant effort and enormous luck. It's usually time and effort wasted in pursuit of something no one should want. However, if you dream of sitting atop the pyramid but you weren't born there, you better get on that grind.
