Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

People with proper morals dont become despicably rich. They use their wealth to help people before it amasses that much.

I swear when people hear eat they rich they think about their grandparents with all their equity locked in their home with maybe a few million dollars in the grandparents retirement account. But that's not at all who people are talking about. They are talking about the people who even if they stopped working would be unable to spend all their money.

This ‐ people don't become billionaires by being successful, they become billionaires by screwing people out of as much money as possible.
