I grew up in Guatemala. You might know its one of the most unequal countries in the world - you're either in the rich class or poor.
I don't have a degree, don't have professional level skills or business skills. I worked for everything I had, never had much money. But nothing too bad - usually had enough food.
Two years ago I met a gringa in a tourist spot. I'm good with girls and we ended up sleeping together that night. We are both in out mid-30s.
Then I found out she's married. Married tourist looking for some cock on vacation - old story.
She has a rich husband and three children. I think she is from a rich family and her husband is also from a rich family, so between them it's double-rich. She mentioned having "oil rights", she mentioned multiple homes (I think over 20 rental properties).
Since then, I have done little bits of social media work for her businesses - it is easy work anyone could do, just running the company's facebook page and stuff. Plus we see each other in the Caribbean/Latin America and sleeping together for a week here and there. Since two years. She started saying "I love you" six months ago.
One time she said, "something something.... because you've already made your money...". I didn't let my reaction show. She assumed I was in her social class!. Just because people assume their life is the normal life. It feels normal to her to have multiple houses and a million a year in passive income (or whatever number), she thinks everyone she meets is probably like that.
Now she is starting a business, has almost finished investor funding. I let her keep thinking I am rich, and I asked for a big salary for my social media role. She is offering me more money than anyone in my village ever had, plus a percentage of the company. If the company works, it could be millions of dollars. I have seen the contract now, and with luck we will sign in one or two months. I can't fuck it up now.
Yes this is a sin because it is adultery. But I have the opportunity on a plate. The only thing I've ever been good at and I can use it to climb the social ladder.
that's actually hilarious
Serious answer being: use the situation, use the privilege you will get to be an actual human, and not a shell with money. Do NOT burn through your money because they might all unite against you in the end and cut your revenue by social rejection. Once it's over and you've drained those parasitic fuckers out of enough money, NEVER let the people around you know you have money. It will alienate most of them. Find indirect and discreet ways to use your dough for good (and for your own well-being, of course). Avoid rich people mental pipelines (they're fucked up, they basically just invent serious-sounding stuff to rationalize the fact that they like their comfort, strangling the rest of the world and, apparently, r*ping children). Have a minimum stash somewhere that is only to be used in case of existential emergencies
