Why work boring job you don't love? Not sure where is that coming from. Nothing boring about my job. I LOVE it and wouldn't do anything. Not sure whose jobs are boring?
No one says it's bad to have money. I LOVE money lol and I love things! the point is you can't get more friends or romance that way. No you aren't going to be more appealing to women if you have a nice car and nice living because it's not that unusual. Everyone I associate with has a nice car and has a job and makes decent living. I live in Michigan and you can forget getting anywhere without not just a car but bigger and preferably 4 wheel in a winter. Nice car is a necessity. Sure I wouldn't date a man with no car as how would he get around but I don't know even know men with no car! It's not unique
Of course money gives more freedom! It's not what you said though. You said it would make you more appealing for friends and women. Heck no
As about homeless shelters, I volunteer there. I am very much appreciated. No I don't give $100 to them. They equally appreciate monetary contributions and other help
You don't need wealth to be appreciated. But you do need to make a living to survive. So hopefully you are doing something to actually get there
I worry about you. I hope you get to a better place. Don't worry about rudeness of what not. Takes a lot to get to me. Lol I teach teens and with special needs to top it off. I saw and heard it all lol gotta run to work now! Have a good day. Hang in there

How familiar are you with machiavellianism by chance? I made another post regarding machiavellianism awhile back and mentioned the fact that I scored high on a test for it myself. The reason why I'm saying this is because there are people who want to be around important people although it is true that many of those people are high machs and want to be around important people to further enhance their image or career.
In fact, there are a couple of questions on the Mach V test that directly relate to this topic. One asks you if you think it's wise to flatter important people and the other asks if you think that it's wise to get the important people on your side.
I happen to be one of these people. I've actually tried to get people with money on my side so that I can have somebody to fund my business ventures.
Also consider if one is rich and they use the money to enrich others lives whom are less fortunate. Who wouldn't want to be friends with one who has saved them from a crisis and/or has helped them grow?
I'm not saying that money is everything nor am I saying that one needs money to be happy or attract people by any means, I'm simply saying that it DOES give an advantage in these areas
Ahh, but I digress. We will just have to agree to disagree
Regardless, I thank you for your kindness
