- Uncle owns a couple universities (I just recently found this out) Possibly does some other chit too. Nobody really knows exactly.
- Uncle is almost never around but came over grandmas house for a day
- Only time uncle is seen or heard is when someone is in need of financial help
- Asked if I wanted to ride with him for a while. I said yes.
- He pulled up in a 2016 jeep something. The SUV kind. (Says he hates to be flashy)
- Wears basic polo clothing but are plain enough to be thought of as Walmart clothes and some cheap watch.
- Asked me what I do.
- I've been out the army a year now and go to school. Applied to a police department and hoping for that to work out. See myself in law enforcement.
- He said "Is that it?"... that's when everyth I changed for me... I thought I was doing good and had everything planned well. No it wasn't CEO/10k a day but it's what I like and far better than what I used to do.
- We went holiday shopping for the family. Went to a mall and he bought multiple things from *****, apple, and other expensive place without even looking at price tags. Swiped his card with no hesitation and told them he doesn't need the receipt.
- He showed me pics in his phone of places he's been going to and ppl he's been with. 10/10 HBBs I'm sure he's plowing without any work.
- Took me to eat at some fancy place and took me to one of his houses by the water.
Long story short, I witnessed a person living that CEO/10k a day life and it amazed me. We talk about it a lot and know exactly what ppl like that do but I'm telling you guys when you actually see this chit it's crazy how it is. Literally like life on cheat mode. It's like a different universe for them. Nothing we complain or think about even exist in their world.
He ended the trip with a small lecture. Told me straight up that my muscles are cool but without money I'm nothing. He's like 6'4" 200 something with a big ass gut. He said everything you do should bring you money. If you're doing something that doesn't then you are wasting time. From the moment you wake up to when you go to bed. Yes you have to go to bed so you have the energy to make more money tomorrow. He's been doing this since he was a teenager. It's either in you or it isn't. Just because it isn't doesn't mean you can't get it. Just have to work harder.
After all this happened to me my mind was still kind of high but I was are enough to ask him a good question. Since I wasn't sure when I'd ever see him again I took advantage of the moment and asked if I could work with him. I said I'll pretty much do anything. If I don't know how, I'll learn it. He said he'll think of some things but continue bettering myself and increasing my knowledge.
Pretty sure he's going NC on me lol but man misc that lifestyle is like a dream.

So he can easily buy any apple product, eat at fancy restaurants, and have gold diggers be attracted to him.
I'm going to be real. I would rather have a modest means of living, a loyal gf, an elite level physique, and free time to do stuff that I find enjoyable even if it doesn't make me any money whatsoever, than have his life though. To each their own.

Assumed when coming into thread this would be fake; however, the car and clothes makes it sound legit. People with real money, the kind that cycles through generations, typically have a nice house but don't feel the need to flash their chit. Family who founded Oscar Meyer live down the road and the guy drives a beater truck and wears poverty clothes. You'd never know. His wife wears nice clothes but nothing incredible and drives a Ford SUV. For them it's all about making the money and investing back into it to make the money work for them. They focus on stable things like a house and land but don't bother with the superficial crap. Pretty amazing actually
For what it's worth, reach back out to him in a few weeks if you haven't heard from him. He may go NC, but he is more than likely drawn to people with drive, ambition, and work ethic. You show him you're serious and I bet he'll help you get in the door to an opportunity.

"never sees family unless they want money from him." "everything should be about making money"
Some people would say this guy has it completely backwards.
Sounds like he came from a poor family? Did without money as a kid and now overvalues it?
Yeah it's cool being rich. A lot cooler than being poor. No argument there.

Well if that's what floats his boat, then cool. LOL at letting someone tell you muscles mean nothing and that everything you do should be about money.
He sounds like a real winner in life. Sounds like nothing fulfills him so he keeps trying to get more money to fill his void. Doesn't have a great relationship with family....no gf/wife. So what does he do? Own a bunch of things and makes money for....what? To buy stuff?
I mean take anyone's advice with a grain of salt. Of course money is essential and having more of it is going to bring a certain calmness and happiness into your life. A lot of stress comes from not having enough money.
BUT just because that is how he lives his life, shouldn't effect you in any way. Live life how YOU want to. Why would you give a fuk what a distant out of shape money hungry uncle says and does?
If you really want just money like him, then listen to him. Stop letting people's advice completely dictate your thinking. Sounds like he's miserable tbh

I spend every day with millionaires... They're just people and money is just a means to an end. Honestly that guys advice is pretty garbage and when his time comes he will realize that. Someone else in this thread seemed to hit the nail on the head saying that he probably came up poor and did without a lot as a kid and that has shaped his life view. Money is just green pieces of paper and is merely a representation of value but doesn't have any real tangible value.

Been posted plenty of times that after a certain amount of money, for the average person your happiness doesn't really increase that much. As long as you can afford the basics like house, transport food and dont have to worry about it. Sure some people may be happier with more/less but everything is about balance in life.

LOL what?
How do you fine success? Just money? He is clearly incredibly successful financial and in terms of career. But he has no wife, doesn't talk to his family, clearly obsessed with money.
You take one piece of what I said and argued it as my entire post. I said if that's how he wants to live his life, great! But OP shouldn't just take that as how you should live just because he has money and said so.
