    How much money do i need to start investing?

    With my current salary and excluding all expenses i am projected to maybe have earned 1 million by the time i retire. Obviously i need money to live so the chance i will ever have a capital of a few hunderd thousand is frankly completely unrealistic irl.

    In the meme, if i take 20000 breaths a day (which is average for a healthy person and i have very lungs) i will have obtained over a million in 3 years. Thats more money anyone needs.

    I wont have spend much of it because id still have my job as i rather enjoy it. And i earn enough to save regularly. Thats also why i refuse to even considering a promotion.

    The way i see it a million is more then plenty to start investing. Do all the stuff you would want to do so the o get bigger numbers. And i still be gething more. After 10 years of breathing il have 4 times all the money i will ever earn in my realistic real life.

    Whatever emergency might happen that i still somehow couldn’t afford then are all things i would never be Able to afford in real life. And none of those emergencies actually exist for me because i have access to really good and free socialized healthcare.

    Money is evil and the worst drugs humans have ever created. In fact i dont want to give money to charity rather i want to join charity and help them do stuff other then collecting money. But i dp rationalize than in this world charity cannot operate without. And if i am going to accumulate free money by Breathing the only way i can stay ethical is by giving it away.

    Is it that bizar to meet someone who is happy to be content?

      You can get to your goal faster with steps, that’s the point. You can be content far faster. Simple as.

        Are you accustomed with the works of Alan Watts? I wholeheartedly recommend you give “you brough’t it upon yourself” by Crippled Black phoenix a listen which uses some of his texts.

        Its rather disheartening to see you put such honest dedication and persistence in trying to steer me towards the systems of which it is my truest desire to get away from them.

        My goal is to get out of the rat race of constant pressure, to slow down and to live my life without having to remember that money is a thing i am supposed to accumulate. I would calmly archive that in less then 1 hour without rush. Because all i would need from the moment this magic deal goes active is wave my card around when i do need something, and i really don’t need much. The limit on my bank account that funnels to charity is just a precaution i can setup to make sure i never become what i hate. A millionaire.

        I am fully, completely uninterested in wanting anything faster then the pace i am comfortable with, or having more then i personal need to live a quit life where i am left unbothered. I am almost alreadyat that point. I have a home, healthcare and a way to contribute to society that benefits the poor and disadvantages (trough my job). The only thing i could use the more money for is making healthier dietary choices and maybe a nice telescope.

        1000 bucks a day is more then enough, it accumulates more then fast enough. More then that and i am just going to burn it with actual fire to retain my sanity.

        I have nothing to gain from your advise and so much to lose.

        Thanks for giving it nonetheless, maybe someone else who is also fascinated in competition, being involved, playing the game (Alan Watts quote) reads it and finds it useful.
