I find it amazing that high schools still tell lies to students they won't amount to much unless they go on to College/University. In my opinion, the US education system is one of the biggest scams going of the 21st century.

Wealth is material abundance which mostly serves to satisfy your egoistic needs. The best it can offer is "an illusion" of happiness.

how much money do you think is needed to live a rich life?

I believe you need at minimum 10 million dollars in 2019 money......to live a fairly nice life in America or the 1st world countries to really enjoy all that life has to offer and that is for 1 person from 20 years old all the way to 95 years old......provided that the person has an education and continues to reinvest their money properly.

10 million / 75 years = 133k/year

11k/month

personally thats why I kind of want to give up on life........I will never reach that goal most people in their 60s generally retire with only about 200k in their savings account on average

people think I am crazy that I should be the happiest person on earth raking in 30-50k a month in profit but its hard to sustain I think I can only sustain this for another year or two. I don't pay attention to 1 or 2 years of money I pay attention to the entire lifespan and how much it costs to live like a king on earth every single day until you die.

Wanna give up on life because you cannot attain a certain level of materialism?

Maybe you need to re-evaluate what a nice life is.

I think it depends on your lifestyle and where you live.. you can live like a king for 1k a month in certain parts of the world but in other parts you can't even rent a place to live.

Maybe find out what you want in life.. figure out where you can get that for the best price and make life decisions to get you there.

A lot of places in East Asia you can live like a king for pretty cheap compared to Western countries. Thailand for example. For 2k a month you can party everyday if you want.

Money isn't everything. Sure it's important but you should just treat it as a tool rather than your life purpose. I made that mistake when I was younger. It was all I cared about. It's only now I'm taking a step back and realizing money makes life easier and richer but it shouldn't be the source of your happiness.

It's only really services that are a lot cheaper, and real estate but then that's partly an investment anyway. Good quality food, clothes, electric, gas, electronics are all more expensive here than in the US.

Well living like a King is an exaggeration of course, but on $3k USD you are living a very comfortable life in the Phillipines

Let's say for example you are living in Davao City, average salaries there are $250 a month, so you're spending 12 times that amount, and you have the luxury of also saving money.

To make you happy, money is important, but it is only part of it. not all.
