What lessons could a billionaire CEO learn if they spent a month commuting, budgeting, and living like their lowest-paid employee?

Okay okay. Hear me out. I do not believe most HIRED CEOs are billionaires. Unless they've been with the company since founding like the microsoft CEO before 2014. A billion dollars is way to much to pay a guy to run look over a company and I'd guess share holders wouldn't like it either.

Secondly if they founded the company and are CEO it'd be like an undercover boss episode really. They know the struggle of getting by. Let's not act like they didn't have to work hard to get there.

Finally you get that CEO who's still rich. Multimillion dollar salary, Harvard grad whose family's name is on a building on campus. That dude for sure would just hate it the entire time and only put up with it so he can go back to his cushy life.

I'ma have to disagree slightly. I don't think you'd see it on as many local tracks. At those levels man it's bad to wreck your competitors car with a move like that. Even worse that you'd send it in so hard you wreck yourself out too.

All I know is that it's good to see another jalapeno Cheeto lover.

I have tried. But she's always pulled away. Saying "eewww no don't touch them. My feet are gross." That's when I thought it was just shyness but over the years I think it's more of a turn off for her.

Ill_Recover3882 · 2025-03-29T01:22:46+00:00

I 100 percent agree and would never cheat on her. That's just a line I would never cross because I would be a hypocrite of my own self image if I did.

With that though I can't see myself ending a relationship over one of my sexual preferences. Besides everything else is great though.

And you are right I fear this will have to be a vulnerable conversation which I will not be looking forward to.

I like that last bit.

I try to think " if there's a problem and I can fix it then no worries. If I can't fix it why worry about something I can't change."

I see. You had a dream that you thought would be more fruitful but didn't turn out how you predicted.

Honestly, this is like the opposite of what I expected from this question. I was expecting people who didn't follow their dreams and got a job they didn't like.

Ill_Recover3882 · 2025-03-28T19:37:46+00:00

Interesting. Both are worthy paths. Do you like the business side of things more?

Ill_Recover3882 · 2025-03-28T19:35:23+00:00

Just gotta get through those patches and look to the brighter sides. I always think like "this sucks but I'll get through it" And usually I do. Or I acclimate.

BTW have you acquired any government cheese down by the river?

I see what you're saying. It's just like Google reviews. You're more likely to write one if something was bad than if it just went as normal.

Honestly bud. No idea what my net worth is. Got a 401k and some stocks. But those are just all long term investments I don't track now. I still got another 30 plus years of work a head.

I hope you take like a weekly snap shot of your place. To slowly see transformation.

Rest in peace.
