When I was escorting, I was flying high making good $$ per hour, feelin good, until one of my clients - this finance guy - at one point in the conversation, casually referenced me as "one of those people who you know, actually work for your money"

It felt bad because I'd finally felt like I'd figured out how to do super well financially in my work, and then just got hit with the bomb that there's an entire massive tier above me for whom my life is considered peasantry

Maybe he didn't mean it that way, but I can see any number of ways that would totally be a vibe-kill.

I don't understand why you'd care what he, or the tier above, think of you?

1. Sell your time for money 2. Invest money to make more money 3. Do jurisdiction arbitrage to keep more money by paying less taxes 4. Buy the politicians to change the rules in your favor

There will always be a tier above you, even the “richest men in the world” like Elon and Bezos, there’s massive tiers above them of unnamed Saudi oil people. The game is rigged. Just do you!

Replying to

I don’t consider anyone who lives off family wealth and who contributes nothing to the world as being above me.

I don't think that's what he meant, and I don't think that's the way to take it. It only makes sense if you accept the value that one is worthier for making money without working for it. That seems like an odd value. They're different, not above.
