I'm not on minimum wage, I'm a student, and I'm going to study Physics at a well thought of university (University College London). There are plenty of people earning a lot after doing this.
Despite the fact I don't earn anything really, I still volunteer and help people out. I am not running my mouth.
Some people feel okay not spending their money, I don't. In economics, savings are a leakage, the only people they make money for is bankers.
I didn't even say I would give it all away. I suggested spending half of it. (Remember this is for one year).
You obviously think taking on the mentality of the dog eat dog, I worked for this, therefore I deserve more money than I can spend, I'm in (insert developed country here), they are in (insert poor country here), makes you seem more masculine, and like you are part of the wealthy group.
That's fine.
But honestly, the power you feel to be the driving force in shaping someone's entire life is immense. Surely you can understand how important you would feel after giving a homeless person a job, or helping a poor family start up a little business, compared to getting a peice of paper in the mail once a month with a load of zeros in it.
I know this sounds 'liberal' and slightly socialist, but it isn't it's just objectively looking at what makes you feel the best and going with it.
If you feel the best logging into one of your bank accounts online and watching the interest pile up, that's fine; because I'm in the minority, and we will never advance the world to a more friendly place.
I guess my 'problem' is looking at the world through a Physicists eyes, looking at the bigger picture rather than focussing entirely on the monetary dream, on being the baddest motherf*#@$* with his suit and cigar.
Rate me down, even if you haven't read it.
