And some want wealth to do fun things, help people and not have financial worries.

I have no interest in power. I want wealth so that I can stop stressing out over money.

Most people want wealth because it means they won’t need to think at how to survive the next month.

I want wealth because I lack self love and wish I had enough money to buy it

I want wealth so I can quit my day job and focus on creating art

I want wealth so i can quit this fucking joke of a job and have my own business.

These are both forms of power.

I want wealth so I don’t have an existential crisis every time I need to get my brakes done. Or my teeth prosthetics needs repair

I want wealth to become Batman.

I want wealth for ease of mind. No more worries about food, shelter, and health for me and my family.

The second fits me, I’d love to be able to secure a life for myself and my family — separate from the bullshit in the world (if possible).

I kinda don’t fit in both. I need reasonable steady income/wealth (as soon as it covers food, a car, an apartment, gym, some clothes, … for me and some relatives) so I can do other stuff.

This will be centered around volunteering in different ways (open source, research, …) without fearing going homeless the moment I disagree with someone.

Given my low cost geo location, I am closer to this than ever.

I have no problem going to work every day if I know I can pay my bills and have some fun during my off time.

The last 12 months has been the first time in 20 years that I felt like I wasn’t able to accomplish that, and it’s getting worse.

And I’m content spending most of my weekends at home doing nothing, so I don’t feel like that’s too much to ask.

I want wealth so I can build a better world for everyone else to live in, like building metro lines and libraries all over my city, affordable, mixed-use housing, and funding clean energy projects. We are not the same

And some people (named Peter Thiel) want both!
