  1. So, do you think that having a large or luxurious home is a cure for isolation and mental health issues?

  2. She sounds really nice, but how is she supposed to know the details of your financial situation?

  3. I'm genuinely interested in why you think that this would be helpful in your life (?).

  4. What do you gain from informing them of their privilege?

  5. @brizzyd79  You have to correct your thinking and mindset before you get money because otherwise, you will continue to have mental health issues even if you have millions. You shouldn't even be concerned about who has what, just concentrate on what you would like to have.

  6. She thinks that she was poor because she worked around wealthier people while she was in high school. Basically, she just has a poor mindset.

  7. I'm surprised that you're still holding a grudge against the people at the yacht club where you used to work decades ago. Get over it already!

  8. Yep. Don't do it. All they do is hang around comparing and complaining about other people's perceived "privilege" and saying how hard they've got it. Rich people will give you ideas and inspiration about how to become rich.

  9. 400k annually is middle class.

  10. True. I kept thinking that it would get better and ended up watching the whole thing. 😅 I thought that she would at least give her viewers some tips on getting rich.

  11. I lived in Germany for years and what I noticed is that they truly believe that they are rich and much better educated than the average American, but none of that is true. For example, a majority of Americans own a single family home, while the majority of Germans live in small (by American standards) rented apartments. Or, a typical American family will have multiple nice cars, to include things like a full-size SUV or pickup, Germans will have one tiny cheap car, if any(usually due to the high costs of owning a car starting with Mwst,Kfz Steuer, fuel, parking, insurance). Even as a "regular" American growing up in a rural area, we got cars at age 16 when we got our driver's license so that we could drive ourselves to school and other activities. Lastly, significantly more Americans have college degrees as compared to Germans and do earn far more money. Plus, taxes are much lower in the US than in Germany. In the US, you will have more Netto from Brutto.

  12. @fRiiEdA97  I define net worth by subtracting liabilities from assets and most Germans have a low net worth and will also receive a very low Rente. I used to see the old people desperately collecting Pfanflaschen in Frankfurt and lining up at the Tafel in Penzberg... As for cars, it was definitely needed when I lived on Oberbayern. As a matter of fact, it was indispensable. Same as when I lived in Rheinland Pfalz. Getting along without a car in Frankfurt may have been possible, but very difficult because my son's school was quite a distance from my home and workplace. I actually owned two properties in Germany until recently, and how many Germans own even one? As for me, my undergraduate education including room and board was free because I had an academic scholarship. For medical school, I had a combination of grants and loans, which I had no issues paying back Regarding healthcare, my premiums in both the USA and Switzerland were/are significantly less than in Germany. In Germany, I was subsidizing probably 3 families so that they could have "affordable" healthcare. Germany is a disaster and that's why I left. At the end of the day, people there will end up desperate for food and heating after working for 45 years. No thanks.

  13. Exactly!

  14. ​ @shreehill9641  so what? Take your chances and do better. If I got hung up on what other people have that I didn't have, I wouldn't be living in Switzerland right now and raising my child here.

  16. ​ @shreehill9641  Focus on change for yourself and your family. Nobody has the time, energy or resources to make broad societal changes.

  17. It's definitely non-stop complaining.

  18.  @kristenjohns8498  Believe it or not, I used to live in a very luxurious condo... That had a leak! 💧It can happen anywhere.

  20. Scholarships are the way to go. Getting a full academic scholarship was my first step in becoming rich.
