Post how you suffer as a diaspora in your country.
It's funny because those apartments he owns and a huge, empty plot of land that used to be an auto repair shop is now worth a lot. Even though the apartments were from 40 years ago before the cities actually started developing so it's old and ugly as fuck, but it's still worth money because of their locations.
But it doesn't matter because he's not selling them so it's just "valuable assets" instead of ACTUAL fucking money. He's going to die one day and I'll get nothing.

I mean that'll probably save you from the hell of neetdom so it isn't entirely bad

Why?
And it's not like they'll even give me a job.

I think he wants me to stay at home with him and my mom and take care of them when they get old. This is why I don't have a home of my own.

What's it like being wealthy?
David Mitchell
Wealthy is a meme. There are more people I know who are better off than me and a lot of first worlders on Any Forums living better than me.
My dad has properties but no money. We live in an average house in an average neighbourhood. We eat out once a week but mom cooks home 6 days a week. We have an old car they got when they came here. "Why get an expensive car? People will just steal it. Why get a new car? The old one still works". We don't go on vacations, but I do go on some since I can save up the money given to me.
If he would just sell everything back home, we'd have actual money and be able to do things with said money.

But Hong Kong is one of the cities where real estate has absolutely sky rocketed in value in the past few decades. If you bought an apartment in the center of Hong Kong in the 80's and are still renting it out you are fucking set.

i hope you choke to death on your mother's cooking in front of her very eyes you ungreatful piece of shit. kill yourself so your parents will have a better life without having to support their man sized leech of a son

I don't remember the exact district my dad owns an apartment in. But guess what? He didn't rent the place out, even though he goes there 1 time every year or so the past 2 decades. "Oh no, I would never rent any proper I own out, you don't know how messy people are and how they would wreck the place".
Other than having a string of successful businesses, he's a complete retard. If things were different, in that he owns multiple properties in Vancouver/Toronto, he would do the EXACT same thing and NOT rent out each floor for $2000-3000 a month. It's literally free passive income, but he'd too dead set on his thought of "people are messy".

>wealthy means having money I can tell your family wealth is going to end with you. Rich people don't live like Scrooge McDuck with a vault full of hard cash, or billions in their bank account, they own assets, land, real estate, and tangible valuables
Andrew Robinson
I'm not saying I'm going to live like Scrooge McDuck. I want my dad to pull all his assets out of China/Hong Kong and invest in Canada. Preferably buy the same properties over here, but rent them out.
Michael Sanchez
I hope so too.
This is no way to live. I need my own place and my own money. If my dad would just give it to me.

Irish diaspora here, dad worked a trade his whole life only owns 1 house. Get visibly and sometimes fiscally angry when I am succesfull in life. Ill be the first generation who will pass something on to his kids. Feels good
Jaxon Ramirez
I heard from Dutch anons that the Dutch royal family owns something like 50% of all housing in the Netherlands. So it's pretty much impossible for you to own a property, so you can only rent. So if you can actually buy a property, you are very successful.
Carter Bailey
By success you mean burning up da natty ganja every day
Brayden Foster
