This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Unironically anon has cracked the big secret of capitalism; the end goal doesn't matter until someone is trying to steal it from you, and they will try because some people are sick in the head

the big secret is that money is not the end goal. money is merely a tool to let you do other things you want to do. it's not an end, just a means.

I was going to disagree based on culture, but my disagreement really just boils down to that being a way bigger secret. So i guess you right.

Not really, there's plenty of things you can spend your money on if you have goals and hobbies.

[–] shani66@ani.social 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Anon already did that, good hobbies don't necessitate a constant flow of cash

[–] WhiteHawk@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

That depends on the hobby, very many do.
