There are many replies under the post, and most people say that you can just lie down and do nothing. They also suggest buying gold, funds, and value-preserving and interest-bearing financial products and the like!
Is it really so?
A friend of mine didn't have much money when we first met. Later, he made almost 4 million yuan from a certain project. From then on, he made a comeback. However, after a period of expansion, he started to feel anxious again.
In today's society, 4 million really can't do much. You need at least two or three million to buy a decent house. If you buy a car for half a million, you will still have hundreds of thousands left. If your family spends another 80,000 or 90,000 a year, the money will be spent in a few years at most.
Still want to lie flat? That's really far from it.
If you have a car, a house, a wife, a savings of 4 million and a medium consumption, you can still lie flat for a decade. After that, you will become anxious because the money is depreciating and you do not have the ability to make money continuously. You are spending your savings every day, and the people around you are getting richer and richer. After a few years of lying flat, you will be more panicked than anyone else.
You mean putting it in the bank and earning thousands of yuan in interest every month? Downgrading your consumption? Are you really not anxious and can just lie down and relax?
Let me tell you a case from someone close to me:
There was a guy who was a model of a loser's counterattack. He earned nearly 1,000W in the project circle in 2018. Later, he bought houses and virtual currencies and was harvested, and his assets shrank.
Later, through his own efforts, the brother bought 3 storefronts, 2 residential houses, 4 million yuan of industrial and commercial fixed-term financial products, which can earn 200,000 yuan in dividends every year, and he still has nearly 5 million yuan in current operating funds...
Is he awesome?
However, he was worried to death if he had no income for a day, and often couldn't sleep in the middle of the night. He used Safeguard soap to take a shower, his pants were all torn, and his clothes were all worth dozens of yuan. After buying clothes online and receiving them, he clicked "refund only" and got the money for free from the merchants.
Can you imagine that? It is hard to imagine that such a rich person actually gets free stuff from e-commerce merchants.
This is the truth. I asked him, "You are so rich, why don't you treat yourself better?"
He smiled and said he didn't have high demands on quality of life.
He was born in a poor family and had no sense of security. He was afraid that he would lose his ability to make money and his current class status in the future, so he wanted to make as much money as possible.
I remember an interview with actor Stephen Chow. The host asked, "Some colleagues say that you, Stephen Chow, are stingy and that you value money more. What do you think?"
Stephen Chow said: "Yes, yes, that's me. My family was not well off when I was young, so now of course I want to make as much money as possible. And I love money so much."
The host asked: "Then your desire for money will have no end...it will be very tiring."
Stephen Chow said: "There is no need for an end, just enjoy the process of making money."
Everyone has his own troubles, no matter how rich and powerful he is. Lei Jun has tens of billions in his account, but he feels that he has accomplished nothing. Zhang Chaoyang is so successful, but he is very miserable. Huang Xiaoming said that he has everything except happiness...
Everyone has fantasized about retiring after earning a certain amount of money, enjoying freedom and a carefree life.
You earn one million and want to earn 10 million. You earn ten million and want to earn one hundred million... The more you see, the poorer you will feel, and the greater the anxiety and pain that comes with it!
It is a scary thing to have your eyes broadened, especially when your abilities are not up to par!
The so-called retirement is nothing more than the exhaustion of energy, the inability to make money, or the reconciliation with yourself and no longer making things difficult for yourself.
