450k a year? how is that even possible below C level ?
whats your job user making 450k?
I commute
see above post
yes, but what do you work as to achieve that amount
k a year job
>>Iive in English countryside
The only jobs that pay that much in this country are bankers, CEOs, and other executive roles. Unironically kill yourself if you're complaining about your perfect life.
Can you give me a job rich robot Im really sick of starving
ok if u must know I am VP at a medium sized marketing company user
>Unironically kill yourself if you're complaining about your perfect life
I'm not even complaining, have your read the OP?
And why do you think money makes one happy?
try the local Job Centre m8
so you can literally have everything you want and yet you are here, why ?
>literally have everything you want
such as?
what would you "get"
Dont britcuck jobs pay like ass though? Pretty impressive you can make 450k a year there.
for me, money earning is not about actually having money, i earn decent enough money to buy anything material, yet i am a consultant slave.
but with your position and income comes respect in life, I would get myself a family, try to engage with my community with this kind of clout, get into politics and so on.
Maybe low level jobs. UK is #4 in the world for number of millionaires after china us jap
>why do you think money makes one happy?
Money makes people happier.
but only for the first $70k or so.
That's Yank money, so 60k?
Exact amount isn't really important.
Point is that money does make you happier until you pass 2-3 times the median income.
After that there are diminishing returns but more money still makes you a little more happy.
However, other factors will over ride that and the hedonic thread mill comes into play.
You are on 450k? in a country with a median income of 20-30k...
Take 2/3rds of every year off and still be on 5 times the median wage.
Learn to be a human again.
i think you're overestimating what a position like that really entails.. outside of the office building you're just a random smuck like millions of others at the end of the day
I really don't get this. Maybe if you have something to use the money for, something constructive and fulfilling, such as a family or political/social ideal
I guess it's nice not to have to worry about financial stability, can't think of anything else that isn't stupid stuff like "better car" or "bigger house"
>Take 2/3rds of every year off
that's not how it works..
Nigga its cause you live in a small town. I dont know how many fucking times i gotta say small towns are shit
COMPLETE bullshit LARP
OP is a 12 year old American boy
>that's not how it works..
lol.
I think you don't understand why you are unhappy.
Spend less time in work, earn less.
Spend more time on yourself, be Happier.
Sure I doubt it's a linear relationship, but if you can't figure out how to work less, and earn less, and still earn a substantial fraction of the obnoxiously high income that you are purporting to have then you're not such hot shit after all... are you?
the only viable way to do that is quitting the job and finding something else, maybe being self employed.
Truth is I don't have much outside of it, and I don't even hate it.
Never said I was "hot sh*t" either.
Was just sharing a thought.
Are you american? It would explain the attitude
>the only viable way to do that is quitting the job and finding something else, maybe being self employed.
Yes? And?
>Truth is I don't have much outside of it, and I don't even hate it.
Work life balance, you can't take it with you.
>Never said I was "hot sh*t" either.
You're receiving ~20 times the median wage for your country.
I get that you're not "bragging" but think through the logic of this.
Either you are earning this undeniably high income, which you say doesn't make you happy,
because you are somehow "worth more" than others,
or the system is insanely broken, and disproportionately rewards you?
If you don't believe the system is broken,
then do you believe that you have some merit that puts to you this position,
or that your position is just luck...
Now I expect you'll say you work hard, put in the hours, and effort,
and that's good.
I'm sure you do.
But take, for example, a nurse in A&E, they work hard, they put in the effort, they save lives,
and yet your work has more value?
>Was just sharing a thought.
>Are you american? It would explain the attitude
Nope.
>attitude
You're actually talking to several people, so you may be mixing me up with others, for example the guy who said kill yourself for complaining about your "perfect" life.
You are very aware of "attitude" because the anonymity of the internet allows us to say this to you, in a way that for example your subordinates in work cannot, and the workers in the pub you frequent cannot.
Do something fucking worth while with your skills.
We don't need more fucking marketing VPs.
I could phrase this more politely like some sort of JRM type gent, but polite isn't the same as correct, and impolite isn't the same thing as wrong.
user if you really make that much money then you should invest in my company.
>t. ivy league user w/ good ideas but born poor
This. Having a bit of disposable income/not being on struggle street makes you happy, after that it plateaus.
Actually, high wealth disparity makes people unhappy.
