Comment on Which option lads?
Cowbee@lemmy.ml 1 year agoYou don’t have to think about investing. You can just buy a broad market ETF and you’re done, you take the distributions and you have stable income for the rest of your life even if you don’t take another step.
Breathing is exclusively passive, meaning if there’s a big emergency, you can’t make more money. You have to be far more careful about budgeting than you would if you had the big investment from steps.
Following, you can run for charity if you want. Donate to good causes and gain fulfillment. The breathing option requires you to budget for this, while the step option doesn’t.

How much money do i need to start investing?
With my current salary and excluding all expenses i am projected to have may earned 1 million by the time i retire. Obviously i do money to live so i the chance i will have a capital of a few hunderd thousand is frankly completely unrealistic.
In the meme, if i take 20000 breaths a day (which is average for a healthy person and i have very lungs) i will have obtained over a million in 3 years. Thats more money anyone needs.
I wont have spend much of it because id still have my job as i rather enjoy it. And i earn enough to save regularly.
The way i see it a million is more then plenty to start investing. Do all the stuff you would want to do so the o get bigger numbers. And i still be gething more. After 10 years of breathing il have 4 times all the money i will ever earn in my realistic real life.
Whatever emergency might happen that i still somehow couldn’t afford then are all things i would never be Able to afford in real life. And none of those emergencies actually exist for me because i have access to really good and free socialized healthcare.
Money is evil and the worst drugs humans have ever created. In fact i dont want to give money to charity rather i want to join charity and help them do stuff other then collecting money. But i dp rationalize than in this world charity cannot operate without. And if i am going to accumulate free money by Breathing the only way i can stay ethical is by giving it away.

You can get to your goal faster with steps, that’s the point. You can be content far faster. Simple as.

Are you accustomed with the works of Alan Watts? I wholeheartedly recommend you give “you brough’t it upon yourself” by Crippled Black phoenix a listen which uses some of his texts.
Its rather disheartening to see you put such honest dedication and persistence in trying to steer me towards the systems of which it is my truest desire to get away from them.
My goal is to get out of the rat race of constant pressure, to slow down and to live my life without having to remember that money is a thing i am supposed to accumulate. I would archive that in less then 1 hour. Because all i would need to do is wave my card around when i do need something, and i really don’t need much.
I am fully, completely uninterested in wanting anything faster then the pace i am comfortable with, or having more then i personal need to live a quit life where i am left unbothered.
1000 bucks a day is more then enough, it accumulates more then fast enough. More then that and i am just going to burn it with actual fire to retain my sanity.
