Thug Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 So many people in here not understanding human psyche. It’s human nature to just want MORE. It’s what makes us advance. What if we were just content with what we have all the time? ’why would anyone want to run a hundred metres under 10 seconds. What’s the point? 10.01 seconds is plenty fast enough.’ ’why do you want to fly, walking gets you most places you’d ever need to go.’ ’why do you want 2 cars? One is plenty.’ ’why do you want to eat any more than a single potato? It’s enough to satisfy your hunger.’ Why do we need cars that can go faster than 70mph? Why do we need designer clothes - a towel covers you up just fine. why do we need to go to the moon? The bottom of the ocean? Why do we need to make more and more powerful telescopes? The answer to all these questions is you don’t NEED any of this. If most of humanity shared the thoughts of some of you lot in here, we’d never advance as a species. We’d all still be walking around in the same place because ‘I’ve got everything I need right here.’ its Human nature to want the most that you can possibly get. And that’s what drives us forward. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not as if the worlds burning as well as folks struggling to make ends meet. It’s getting me riled up more than usual to be honest, on Sunday whilst I was doing the shopping I overheard an old couple looking at cooking / olive oils etc and how the cost had gone up so much and what they could take off their shopping list to accommodate buying it. If the world was a bus I’d be repeatedly tapping the stop button right about now. You also forgot a decent yacht costs around £25-50m. Mooring fees in Monaco £1m a year. Hiring a global superstar singer for a bday party costs £2m a night. Private jet - £30-60m . Running costs £1-2m a year. 5 properties in NY, London, etc - £200m Some nice artwork for your residence - £50m. It's very very easy to burn through £250 million without even blinking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duke313 Posted July 27, 2023 Share Posted July 27, 2023 10 minutes ago, bobzy said: Right. But it's not life changing. Their life is basically unaffected. They'll still have private drivers and schools for their kids and sports cars and whatever else. Can they now afford to buy a Bugatti instead of just a Lambo? Sure. A fourth holiday home? Of course. But their life won't be changed because they're already obscenely rich and they're just adding to it. Whereas a jump from £30k to £45k a year for someone actually opens up opportunities that could change a life. Maybe the ability to move to a safer area or actually afford a holiday or whatever. It's a genuine life changing jump. Going from (crude calc) £10m a year to even £30m a year is just additional spending power on luxuries. Henderson is going from about £7,280,000 per year (about £3,640,000 net after tax) to £36,400,000 per year tax free, literally 10x the amount. It might not be "life changing" but it's a significant increase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I’ll pre-emptively answer the ‘but 40k is not £3m a year’. £40k a year to someone else would be an absolute fortune that they couldn’t understand why you’d ever need any more.

It's never "oh this is a life changing amount... for my nephew". Of course he could decide to give loads away. Maybe he'll invest a ton of money in Sunderland. Who knows. But I see that as his own life, the ability to impact and better the lives of those around him I dont see it as the ability to buy a 4th mansion for himself, this SA money is the ability to buy mansions for 4 other people and then let's face it the SA money is so obscene he could buy that 4th mansion anyway, it's a whole careers worth of money in 2 years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be life changing for his nephew or an estate agent or whatever, but his lifestyle will be (granted, all assumed) largely unchanged.
