Invest in mentors, huh.

Definitely doesn't have a relevant detail in his bio.

[–] beebarfbadger@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Also having been born into generational wealth and exploiting the finance system - that's the most famous rich-people-hobby.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 14 points 1 day ago

The actual bullshit message behind this:

A rich person is a good person and a smart person.

In posted this, so I am signaling to you that I am a good and smart person that will be rich if I’m not already.

Obviously the #1 life goal of all people is to be rich, so you should all be like me, and you should be ashamed when you take time to enjoy existence.

(Disclaimer: I’m not shitting on people who enjoy or find fulfillment in their job or their business)

I swear rich people have no actual interests

[–] SomethingBurger@jlai.lu 7 points 1 day ago

The ones that do are not spending their time posting sociopath bullshit on LinkedIn.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

Job is not my hobby, job is how I pay for my hobbies.

Also I wish learning got me rich. Unfortunately I don’t bother learning stuff that makes money. I am however shockingly educated on certain subcultural histories.

What is this? Some pseudo-wisdom from a “life coach” or something?

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Grindset life bs. It's extremely stupid, they all brag about not enjoying life like it's a terrible insult to everyone else.

[–] Matriks404@lemmy.world 13 points 1 day ago (1 children)

You don't need to be rich to go to a gym or increase your knowledge.

...but you do need to be rich-enough to afford time not spent preparing for work, working, nor recovering from work...

[–] zephorah@lemm.ee 13 points 1 day ago

A job is not a hobby.

It’s amazing how hourly workers brainwashed themselves into believing that they’re entrepreneurs.

They really believe the nonsense that bro podcasters sell them.

They’ll be 40 in an hourly retail position wondering where everything went wrong.

Average rich people hobbies: Cocaine, tax fraud, genocide

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 119 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Burning fossil fuels, underage sex parties, over throwing democratically elected 3rd world governments.

[–] fluxion@lemmy.world 65 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Overthrowing 1st world countries as well

Job should be there too. When they get bored, they start doing someone else's job until they get bored. Like trump pretending to be a Mcdonald employee, or Elon pretending to be a CEO.

Knowledge

This mf got 8 Lamborghinis in his Lamborghini account

[–] caboose2006@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago

I made the comment that rent should be tax deductible, just like a mortgage, and some rise and grind boot licking doofus said "you can if you run a home business." First of all, do you need to run a home business in a home you own to write off your mortgage? No Secondly, not everyone in the country can run a home business. Imagine the chaos.

[–] ZMoney@lemmy.world 12 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Serious question. What is "invest in mentors"? I can't figure this one out. Like you pay people to mentor you?

"So, do you have any hobbies?"

"Yep! I like job, invest in mentors, knowledge..."

[–] GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 131 points 2 days ago (4 children)

"Invest in Mentors"

Fucking clown always trying to sell his stupid shit

[–] grrgyle@slrpnk.net 39 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Wasn't at all surprised to scroll up and see "mentor" in their byline

A job is not a hobby. I feel that that shouldn't require explanation.

[–] howrar@lemmy.ca 9 points 2 days ago

Sometimes, hobby becomes job and stops being hobby :c

[–] Sam_Bass@lemmy.world 31 points 2 days ago (5 children)

ive done the gym and knowledge thing, why am i not rich?

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago

I must be middle class because I skip the gym to do my cardio outside

[–] laverabe@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago (2 children)

One must delete facebook and lawyer up before one can ascend to the realm of #4. Profit.

They forgot that the main criteria for ending up in the "rich" group is "be born rich".

Alternately, rich kids just pay off the carnival workers for the big prize without playing the game at all

Any rich person born after 1993 can't party. All they know is gym, invest in they mentors, not work, be knowledgeable, do business, and lie.

Entire bottom box should be “wait for trust fund”.

I don't think this individual understands what a hobby is. Your job by definition is not a hobby.

It's hilarious to me that, while the author is trying to own working-class people's poor choice of hobbies, what it actually does is show the immense privilege of people whose only hobbies are various forms of "self improvement".

Oh come on, I doubt it's that large.

Some of the most knowledgeable people I’ve meet were dirt-poor.

[–] Kyle_The_G@lemmy.world 34 points 2 days ago

most academics/research roles. Huge competition, your life depends on winning grants, requires PhD and years of training, poverty-level salaries.

TIL, that Donald and Mush partying at Epstein Island is considered a hobby for the poor.
