[@sergiopiana5991]

I believe that stuff becomes boring after a while. As soon as that life style becomes the standard you need more to spice things up and not just things you can buy with money. Still I'm speaking mostly for me, an individual that without true friendships and honest relationships (that don't want to exploit me) would suffer a lot. Sure money help but are not enough, the ideal thing would probably be rich without others knowing. As an additional example you can look at Notch, the rich creator of Minecraft who got bored of life and now wanders without goals (last I heard about him).

Hey guys, I've got an idea for how to help our billionaire friends out. We figure out how much they need to live relatively comfortable lives, and we let them keep that much. Then, we take the rest of the wealth, whether that be in cash or in stocks, etc. and spread it out so that everyone can benefit from it. The rich no longer have all these problems to worry about, and the poor have less financial instability. It's a win-win!

Well that's a good yet very ambitious idea. The main problem with your idea here is the selfishness of most of the poor people. I'm not saying every poor people are selfish, but it's inevitable to encounter one.

We must first treat the greediness among the people before that happens.

@@user-jt5vi8cm1m The poor are generally "greedy" because poverty forces them to put short-term needs (food, rent, entertainment, etc) ahead of long-term needs (education, community service, etc). Eliminate poverty by raising standards of living, increasing wages, providing cheap public transit, etc and you'll give poor people the freedom to think beyond their own needs.

@@benthomas9776 You got a point there. Poverty does drive people to be greedy, and most of the time it's the rich who's greedy. But there will still be poor people who will choose to be far more greedy than even the rich themselves, even if they already are out of poverty because of the money the rich gave them, and it may cause more frequent robberies, kidnapping, etc. What I meant by "greedy" is not being thankful for what they are given.

What is keeping wealthy people from selling off their company and living a quiet life on the interest proves they're workaholics. If you're really worth billions of dollars and don't want the hassle anymore, sell it all and use the *few* dozens or hundreds of millions to make sure you and your off spring have comfortable lives.

[@gilgamesh310]

A lot of billionaires tend to care more for their companies than they do their wealth. It’s like another child to them. They aren’t likely to become billionaires in the first place if they’re solely in it for the money. They’ll sell off their shares to venture capitalists early and make millions but not billions. Bill Gates became a billionaire by not selling shares to anyone else before Microsoft’s IPO. He was more interested in his dream of getting a computer in every household than being rich. Being a workaholic is a huge part of the character of most billionaires. Elon Musk promotes the idea of it frequently and sometimes sleeps in Tesla factories instead of going home.

I've worked with the wealthy. Been around them through my family. Part of my family in texas are wealthy as heck. And while not wealthy billionare over here in my state my family was in the middle class in the 90s and yes there is a significant difference between having middle class and lower class money. Videos like this reminds me why even when I had money I didnt like associating with middle or upper class people or those like this narrator that makes it seem being in a life of luxury is bad...please spare me the bs. Here's a video killer. Come to my neighborhood harvard heights in pico union los angeles right by skidrow (funny you guys done a video about it) downtown lol or watch this channels videos about that part of my area and Google up pictures too and then ask yourself....would you rather have billions or heck be like my family in the 90s and have middle class money today (middle class for me is I never wanted for anything materialistically nor did I go hungry or thirsty and had the latest clothes etc...man I miss the 90s minus the LA riots)? Or would you rather be like myself now in the poor majority wondering if I will be on the streets soon or wonder what and how will I afford dinner or because of my living situation worry about my health as I have severe health issues ironically had I been rich I could afford to get better and my life as my area is quite dangerous at times via gang violence and police brutality and mentally ill homeless people often prone to violence or worst live in skidrow where many were kicked out and thus came to my area...and mind you skidrow already makes my area looks like disneyland? What part of "struggle" dont you understand? It aint no game. No billionaire NONE would ever wish to switch places with me or 99% of humanity. My mental and physical health will break a rich man alone in 1 day let alone them not receiving any money for over years because you're unable to work due to your health and now pandemic.I laugh at those rich folk with 6 bad marriages. Obviously you shouldn't keep dating the same types of people or get same results. Most rich people date rich people who usually date richer people for their money anyways and literslly vid example was a wealthy guy....and an actress geezwhat's gonna happen? Lol. Date someone who obviously who doesn't care about money they do exist you know...plus narrator ever thought maybe those billionaires got divorced so many times because THEY are the reprehensible people and not the people they date? NO disrespect but the few rich people I know personally well are all complete you know what's difference is they itleast acknowledge they're not really positive people to be around compared to most. Just a thought...be humble about the poor and ACTUAL struggles -_-

What generally makes people happy is pursuing and accomplishing goals, as well as finding love. Having a ton of money makes both of those things very difficult as there isn’t the same sense of accomplishment when you can simply just buy everything you need compared to working super hard to buy a house, car, etc. - It also makes it very difficult to find true love as all of the people you meet will be influenced by your money. Obviously you can set bigger goals, like helping countries & the poor, but in order to feel accomplished you have to push yourself, which could mean turning your $1B into $5B so you can have an even greater impact on those that you want to help. And that’s where the difficult responsibility of managing money comes into play.

I had a coworker who was the greatest person. We would share lunch and talk about personal matters. We would help each other outside of work when needed. He kept asking for advice on starting a business but I told him: 1. You don't have enough. 2. The things you want to start a business in have a high startup costs and need many permits. I ended up starting a business in something he knew nothing about and never heard from him again. Last I heard was his drinking got out of control. I always ask myself: how would he have reacted if we did go into business and it failed?

I have a nephew that stands to inherit a fortune one day. I told him long ago to beware of anyone who kisses his a$$ and praises him.

I don’t know if he quite fully grasps how diabolical people are but I did the best I could to explain. If you are wealthy you’re going to attract a lot of fake people and even family members. People try to get favor from people that are going to die and have a lot of money too. I can spot them it isn’t hard.
