This post isn't really crypto related, but I think it needs to be said. We in the modern world have been brainwashed to think that materialism equals success. That the better the job title we have, the more assets, the better clothes etc the more happy and successful we are.
I remember my earliest mentor when it came to trading, I met when I was 15. I had been working almost full time since I was 15, and I'm 24 today. He told me to never sell my time or sanity for some money. No amount of money is worth that. 5 years later and 2 rekt knees, I only truly realised the importance of that lesson. Unfortunately, I too was brainwashed by this idea of having to acquire mass amounts of wealth for success.
The truth of the matter is, that is a lie shoved down our throats by governments and corporations so we keep working. The economy is rigged in such a way that if people stop consuming and the velocity of money slows down, the economy dumps, and we suffer for it. The fact of the matter is this is a lie. The average man who works as a labourer or whatever does not care about the economy. No matter how the economy is doing, holes still need to be dug, and he will eat to keep digging those holes. The problem is, in the modern age, most people are tricked into being slaves, digging holes day in day out, kicked back a miniscule amount of money, all just for another worthless title, for a nice looking car or whatever.
The truth is that I have made and lost people's yearly salaries in a day. Yet I am not phased. This is because I realised all those years ago, from my first mentor, is that if you chase wealth to just endlessly consume, your going to be chasing it into your grave. With a million dollars (which isn't hard enough to make in 5 solid years of trading trust me) and some savvy research, you can pay yourself a 5 figure salary and retire before 30. This idea of needing to wage slave till you die is what drives people crazy.
In reality everything I do to make money is to ensure that I can retire decades before the average retirement age. The idea of having to take orders from someone till I die, or give up half my day to some make some annoying dude even richer, is just plane stupid.
Instead if spending 40k on a car, 1k on a shirt, invest like a maniac for a few years and retire young. I promise you your future self will thank you. Don't take out loans, don't take out large debts and DO NOT buy depreciating assets to look nicer to random people you never met. Like old mate Tyler Durden said, "We buy things we don't need, to impress people we don't like". Move past the need to tell your mum, dad and friends your a manager or some crap like that, your brought into this world alone, and when the chips fall only you can pull yourself out of the hole you where thrown into.
I'm writing this post because I am constantly seeing people on the news commit suicide because they where taught their whole life that the definition of happiness is materialism. In reality happiness is when you are truly free of all burdens, when your time is yours and not some middle management blokes who treats you like crap. I founded this group years ago to help people escape the rat race.
Drop the ego, live like a monk for 5 years, and retire young and healthy, then do what you want with your time. The worst fate on this earth is being a slave to others, living pay cheque to pay cheque to fund a life you can't afford to live. Don't fall for the propaganda and don't be a slave. Take everything you can from them, use every short cut, play the games the big boys play, and gtfo out of the game. This is the way of escaping the hell of being a multi-decade debt slave.

Why suppress this zero-point energy tech?
Are we already secretly traveling planets and timelines? Has our history been manipulated?
