I just want to be rich ASAP. I'll have time to read about existentialism, philosophy, religion... whatever. First I want to get rich and let my parents retire.

>just graduated from top uni + top bachelors

Would you recommend me stuff to read in order to, at least, head the right direction?

Have a good day anons

>> No.15439928

What, all that schooling and you need to ask us how to get rich? Haven't you figured out that you have to figure most of it out yourself? No, that would require figuring out that your need to figure out how to figure things out for yourself, which incidentally, you haven't figured out that you need to figure out yet.

Ray Dalio's Principles - learn about the philosophy of a billionaire.
Maybe even read his book on historical deleveraging too.
How to Get Rich by Felix Dennis - successful magazine publisher/software millionaire lays out practical advice on getting rich
IFFRS Reporting Standards Manuals, or GAAP reporting standard manuals.
The Innovators Dilemna - Clayton Christensen. Basically he explains how plucky young outsider companies can consume and overtake market incumbents by first fighting against "non consumption" that is creating a product affordable or accessible to people who can't buy the products already on the market.
Quintilian's Institutio Oratoria - It's all about how to write and give speeches. Want to make killer pitch decks? Want to sound intelligent? Want to be able to write clear memos to your employees so everyone is on the same page. Read this guy
And don't forget to read up as much as you can about the industry you want to get into, subscribe to the industry magazines. Look through the archives too. Learn the historic patterns, learn the terminology

Because it's wishful thinking. Nonsense.
There is no correlation at all between the mentioned books and being rich.
The books are written purely to be consumed. Now, if you are dissatisfied with that, what do you start doing? You start preaching about them and saying how great they are for achieving X in life. Except, like anon who recommended the books, none of the substance from the books was achieved by him.

You are literally asking for books that will "lead you in the right direction" also known as guides. There is no philosophy behind getting rich. Ive seen people lose millions with idiot proof business ideas and they didnt even do anything wrong. I also know a half a retard who has no business sense whatsoever, dude runs a successful supermarket chain now. Point being, a large part comes down to luck, there is no bulletproof gameplan/philosophy that will lead you there.

Good luck either way.

I disagree with you but thanks for your opinion. For example: how to make friends... by dale carnegie shows you pretty well the right (general) directions. I've seen it myself, as a former socially-retarded person. Just because of that book I've managed to arrange casual meetings with really important people, and of course made many acquaintances. So you have to agree with me that reading that book pushed me for the least very slightly to a higher income, much better than just playing videogames and watching anime like always.

I don't understand why people want to be rich.

I've become close with hedge fund managers throughout my time in college and all of them were unbelievably stressed. Once you reach a certain level of wealthy, you become obsessed. Past a certain point, nothing matters. It is like grinding for gold in Runescape irl

just get enough money to be stable with bills and hobbies, and then be done with it.
I don't get the mentality of people that are endlessly chasing something that very clearly will make them miserable.

Idk man. I think some people are hardwired to just work till they drop. My whole family is like this. Despite being able to retire, my grandparents, uncle, and my own parents just keep working. It’s so weird. They work and work and work and buy stupid shit and work and work and buy more stupid shit and non of them have any hobbies or interests outside of working. I don’t get it at all and I see this behaviour everywhere. I hope you get to provide for them but in a way it seems to me that some people just work and do shit they hate for no reason at all.
