I guess I just don’t want to be a parasite on society and get free money for sitting on my ass doing nothing, but actually improve society and get paid for it instead.
I’m not really sure what you’re saying. Are you saying that getting a return from an investment is getting free money for sitting on your ass?
Because if so that is a terrible take.
You take a risk with every investment you make. And, the money you invest, since you earned it already, is really valuable since you can only get it if you work, so the risk is not trivial.
By investing you’re pretty much giving that money to someone and saying “hey use this to build something up and give me some back”… It gets the money back into usage and circulation rather than having it sit around doing nothing. Yet, you still own that money as long as whoever you gave it to can use the money properly.
Nothing wrong with investing so long as you avoid unethical companies. But I have to admit it’s a needle in a haystack. And even good ones eventually enshitiffy.
