    I want that so badly, even though I pass well enough now, I would love to be cute like that since I’m not super feminine as I am now. If I got the money I would use it to finally get voice surgery and bottom surgery.

    If I actually became cartoon style femboy in real life, becoming billionaire wouldn’t be that hard imo.

      You’d have to abandon all of your ethical principles, and then you’d face the problem of how to keep the wealth you generate rather than having it sucked up by all the existing billionaires who would chew you up, extract every penny they could then spit you out, which is extra difficult because now you’re in an intersection of minorities.

      And even if you succeeded you’d be a billionaire, and I don’t think those people are actually very fulfilled.

          That thought is, and I cannot stress this enough, legitimately horrifying. Do you know how many of them went to Epstein’s island?

          These are people who can make nearly anything happen to you, and they don’t even have to lift a finger.

          I feel like you just told me that Mordor will be great because you’ll just put on the One Ring, get Sauron’s attention then flash him your tits and he’ll be horny so you’ll be golden.

              Gallant as that is, I don’t think it’s either/or with these people, I think it’s both/and.

              They have to keep exploiting and consuming everything and everyone. Whilst I understand that the rapacious drive to infinite growth is systemic, I’m convinced that one of the mechanisms that keeps it going is their own alienation, the deep emptiness and disassociation that comes from living in a world where nobody can tell them no, and they have to fill that hole with something. After your fifth mansion, third private jet and second mega yacht, just buying things doesn’t do it, and why did they accumulate so much if they’re just miserable anyway?

              The only thing left is hurting people with impugnity, because that proves that you have power.

        you could donate a hundred thousand a year to charities, use two hundred thousand each year inflation adjusted, and have it last until you die, probably.

          Assuming you put the money in a basic ass savings account at bank of America (average us savings account gives .46%apy) thar is a gain of 4.6 MILLION a year. So you would need to out spend that just to start losing money. High interest accounts can be up around ten times that at 5% so 50 million a year would need to be spent to lose money.

          Stock market averages 10% yearly returns not including dividends. So a cool 100 million a year in play money.

          Brought to you by math gang that knows how insane being a billionaire is.

            money in a savings account generally looses value as it doesn’t usually keep up with inflation or cost of living increases. Someone who invests in the stock market will probably do quit well on average, however the 1920s existed as did the recent fluctuations of 2008 and 2020-2021 which could lead to large losses. A billion is a huge amount of money, however can still be invested or spent irresponsibly.

              Laws have changed since 1920, and even with 2008 and 2020 every ten year period will still see 10% growth from a diversified portfolio.
              And even if 4.6 million doesn’t buy what it did last year you can spend less than that for the compound interest to overtake inflation easily.

    Guess I’m pressing the button, then. Either I become a billionaire and can do whatever I want, or I become a femboy, make bank with photos, videos, and streams of myself, and use the money to do slightly less of whatever I want.
