Nah I definitely want both. My current hobbies are expensive. My dream hobby of getting a pilots license and a small plane would be really expensive.

So you want the freedom of getting a pilots license and a small plane.

[–] Lucidlethargy@sh.itjust.works 6 points 4 months ago

What if you used that plane every so often to fly others around? Or perhaps you share it with others like a time share?

It feels like there's an answer here. I'm just spit balling, though. I'm not even fully against capitalism, I'm just kind of tired of... Well... All the billionaires and dramatic wealth inequality.

Wanting to be rich would mean wanting to have more wealth hoarded than you can spend. That's psychotic and doesn't sound like what you want

Freedom doesn't get me one of these plus funds to run it: https://www.racingjunk.com/gt3-cup/184608118/2022-porsche-992-gt3-cup.html?category_id=5896&np_offset=-1#5

So both. For sure.

So you're saying you want to have waay too much money that other people wouldn't be able to also enjoy that? You would rather have money in the bank instead of people having food or a place to eat? That's the rich were talking about.

Again, you just want financial freedom. Which would mean you have enough money to do whatever you want.

Being rich means you want to (esentially) steal money and hide it away from other people who also want to do fun things
