Just stop. There's enough people getting handouts and more coming every day. People can spend whatever they earn however they want. Anyway, musk donates millions to charity so your bias is showing

 

“Live every day like it's your last, take every shot you can, don't look back.”
THIS !
Along the way, I learned a whole lot more from the mistakes, but certainly enjoyed the success …. beyond the limits ! Lord knows, when I had it, I shared it and in times of need, it was returned many times over.
I have been blessed in so many ways, but never forget that life is a team sport regardless of the game you play.

 

Dont feed. He’s a clown

 

I think you misinterpreted his statement or maybe I did...

I don't think he was saying he should donate that 50B to people in need. There are A LOT of people that scam the system for handouts and it's completely wrong. These scumbags are the reason why the system is messed up.

The way I took his statement, was that 50B to social media platform isn't helping mankind as whole. Yes it's his money, he can spend it however he wants. But I think the question is are we better without social media? Thats a point that could be argued both ways.

 

That's the mentality to have! What goes around comes around. We're all doing life for the first time. That's something everyone has to remember.

 

shame some folks immediately go to attacks and name calling. you are correct in what i was getting at but I guess some of the boomers on this forum cant read between the lines

 

not once did i say people should be getting handouts but clearly went over your head and YOU just ASSumed. its this thinking that leads to a successful few at the top and too many to count at the bottom with no way out of the lower rungs of society. not everyone sits at home and collects a free handout, in fact most workers at the lower end of the spectrum work way harder than anyone in white collar + jobs. so instead of spending 50B to buy a company that is going the way of the dodo, Musk could have used it for purposes that would improve society, not continue to tear it down. but then again hes a sociopath so doesn't surprise me that he's in it for himself, just like many at the top regardless of how much they "donate to charity" which lets be honest, never actually reaches those in need.

 

first and last time, if you don't believe in the afterlife

 

There’s more nuance than you’re willing to admit. Financial problems are rarely a money problem, but more of a psychological problem. People are bad with money, live way above their means, and show little restraint in their spending.



It depends on where a person teaches. Teachers, professors, etc. make great money on average. In fact, teachers fall into the top 5 professions with the most millionaires. The profession is almost always within the top 10.

 

I'm speechless.

 

Same. No way. Nope.

 

I’m only sharing what has statistically been reported for many years. Being a “millionaire” includes their retirement/pensions, etc., and it’s not that difficult to have that in total assets (…which is part of the statistical data). It’s not that difficult to have a million in retirement. Half of my partners on the job have that in their 457b deferred compensation accounts, which is separate from our pension.

 

A million dollars isn’t much anymore. Probably gets you a base carrera in a couple of years.

 

I spent the better part of my career as an Teacher. I've taught High School, College and for Industry. The difference in compensation between Industry and the Public Education System is simply staggering. Between College and Industry my compensation more than tripled. It wasn't because Industry was unduly generous. IMHO you're not going to get financially wealthy as a teacher in the Public Education System.

 

And now lets take a poll of all the teachers on Rennlist who agree with you.
