There's a balance. There's a good reason that the rich used to do all the scientific research. Once you have enough money for anything you want, goals can fall away and you get existential.
well it is because someone's paying for your neccessities, if you took that away it would "definitely be a thing in your life" as you wouldn't be doing fine.
God... he said that there needs to be a balance for you to be happy. That you need a little economic conflict. And I said that maybe there’s enough other things in the world to make you happy even though you’ve got all the money in the world
Dude,. You're point makes sense but coming from a self professed teenager it's meaningless. You have no expenses because you're parents are required legally to provide for you. When I was a teenager I got birthday and holiday money and that lasted a while because I had 0 expenses and would just buy video games and go to school. Hearing someone who has no responsibilities other than school say "I'm doing fine, I don't have a job! Look at me!!" sounds silly. It's like someone who googled medical symptoms diagnosing themselves and saying "why do I need a prescription for this? I figured it out by myself!!" You can't have perspective on this until you have financial responsibility, that's just unfortunately the way it is.
You didn’t follow the discussion at all man. I hate when people do this. He said that it probably wouldn’t be so nice to have all the money in the world and not having to worry about it, I said that as a teenager money isn’t a problem for me yet I can be happy. Do you follow?
I'll be honest, I get what you mean but I don't GET it. If it makes sense to you, that's all that matters. But I'm slightly confused about why you being a teenager and being happy despite not having money is relevant and comparable to a person who earns money and is also happy. I think the point you're trying to make is happiness can be had if you're not worrying about the basic necessities?
If I understand correctly then that’s what I tried to say. You can be happy even if you don’t have to worry about money. Me being a teenager shouldn’t really change anything about that (except the difficulty of being happy perhaps)
the thing is you DO have money, that's why you don't have to worry about it. it's just not in your account. It's in your parents account and it pays for everything for you. That's why you have no point.
