I'm playing GTA Online since a few months now. In the beginning, I've invested a couple of 20$ to be able to buy things faster. I don't know today why it was so important then.
I've finally succeeded in buying everything I've wanted, after some help from my friends, like Big Steve, who made me discover the mission "Rooftop Rumble", that we do and redo all night long until were loaded with cash. But what's the point?
The game says it in the description: "Money is king in Los Santos". So this is why were so much after money... But money can only be a mean, not a goal... What happens when you got everthing? -The game looses a little bit of it's interest.
You come to feel empty being even full of cash. Money is emptiness: this is what the game makes you realize. And it's just, indirectly, making you realize it faster that it's the same thing in reality...
What's important is not to be a millionaire, or start a company, but being yourself, discover the others, do what you like and love, because, and that's a fact, you will die one day, and you will not be able to enjoy anything anymore: your goods won't come with you. Acquiring expensive goods and properties has nothing to do with the meaning of life.
You don't need that much money or goods to be really happy. When somebody is in love, nothing else than the loved one matters anymore. I mean, having a bunch of money or goods won't make me happier at that time.
It will either give more meaning to my life, if it hasn't one already.
So what's left? -To show our goods just for the fun of it, impress the others, by pure vanity... as we're naturally attracted to beauty.
What you look like or what you have becomes more important that what you really are...
You become a surface.
You become non-sense.
You become emptiness.
And you know it: you've got everything everybody is striving for, by ignorance, and your life is just absurd...
That's so doubly absurd and cruel!
Those that we remember have made something valuable... Value doesn't mean money, like it came to mean today everywhere in this empty world.
Sometimes, doing something valuable comes with money, but very often in history, it comes rather with nothing else but the reward of having done the right thing... the one lighting up the passion in us, giving sense and meaning to our life.
If you are poor, you're not alone: most of the great artists we revere today and use to nourish our snobism were poor, but they passed on to history. They gave us beauty, perfection, originality, vision and inspiration...
Worshipping money will make you go to oblivion, like you never existed...
Do something valuable. Change your life. Love what you do. Give yourself to your passion, now.
Finding a "good job" is not a goal in life...
Create yourself.

Few advices for GTA Online
- If you buy a Rhino Tank, you will have fun. You can destroy all the cars you want, you won't have to pay any insurance fees. It's worth it just for that: taking revenge for the thousands of dollars you've paid already in insurance fees in usual mode. The bonus too is that the player who got his car destroyed by the tank has to pay himself his own insurance fee! So keep your luxury cars inside when the tank runs around!
- The downside is that after a couple of attacks, your head gets priced up easily, and the wanted stars go up higher faster. You may have too an impaired health that won't come back until a new session. Also, the other players can steal your tank if they're near the spawning, and you cannot regain it. Sometimes Pegasus bugs you with that: they say they've already gave you the vehicle, until the one that stole you the tank kills you a couple of times, and then, they offer you another one.
- If you spawn near a tank shooting around, the only way is to run away from it as fast as you can: you cannot beat it, even with the rocket launcher, it takes too long. You don't have time to call for your car either: steal one, and fast, or go in safe mode and escape that way.
- If you buy a Buzzard, you will pay insurance for each car you destroy voluntarily or by accident. It will target missiles only to cop cars and police helicopters. Aiming otherwise is difficult. If you kill a bounty in his car, you won't pay the insurance for the car. When you make it spawn, somebody near the spawning can steal it. The Buzzard can be very useful, however, in some missions.
- The other players know, very often, where are the spawning places near them. They gang up and watch the entrance for you not to come back there and kill you each time. Your only choice, most of the time: start a new session.
- I bought a Grotti Turismo R and I can say it's my preferate. It made me forget about buying the Entity XF. But you have to buy the Adder too if you want to win in races against the Entity XF. The Adder might be less good in the corners than the Entity, but it will kick this one off the road in a straight line.
- The best deal for a car in the game is the free Elegy offered in Social Club. Customize it to your taste, boost it: many tests have proven that's almost as fast and as good as a supersport's car. Also, it will not cost you much if you destroy it. So don't be shy to use the sticky bomb with it to blow on others and shout as they shoot at you: you come with me bitch!
- The AP Pistol, the Advanced Rifle, the Gusenberg Sweeper are the best for me. I use mostly the Advanced Rifle, that I consider the best of all. I'm up to orange color on players kill with that weapon.
- Buying the torche on any weapon is a loss of money, and gets very bothering: I need to constantly turn it off, or i don't see well.
- Having too much vehicles is useless in the end: just get the best and those that are less efficient but nicest when customized, like the muscle cars: you need cars that do the job and won't kill your budget in insurance fees when destroyed.
- Doing parachute, even alone, gives you up to 3500$ sometimes and reasonable RP. Forget about the convenience store.
- I bought the Vestra plane with the Business update and I don't know it's use yet: it's too fast for me, I can't do the curves and crash all the time. I found the Mallard cheaper and a lot better afterward, but it's too late: once your stuff is bought, you cannot sell it like the cars you bought or stole. I hope Rockstar change their mind on that one day. Another good idea for Rockstar would be to permit the players to leave the weapons they don't use at home, or be able to sell them back. It becomes a burden to go around all these weapons you don't use in your inventory just to get the only 3 of 4 that you use most of the time.
- Don't be afraid to do some badsports or you will always be the victim. There was one guy who was trying to intimidate me with his Adder, killing me by shooting from the rear of his car, which is very difficult to shoot back through. I kept dying. I've decided to use my grenade launcher against him and his fucking car: it worked. It costed me maybe 40 000$ in insurances, but the bitch decided that he had enough calling back his car all the time, he have seen that I was not afraid to pay the price, so he left me alone after 3 more attempts. To be able to do that, be sure your bank account has enough money. For the cause, I've put 20$ per week in GTA Online on a Great White Shark Cash Card for a while. But I've started slowly to finance myself only with missions now. I've bought everything I needed already and the cash from the missions is enough to cover the warfare.
- Last remark: once you've started doing your rampage through the city with your tank, the cops will start saying funny things like: 'Stop the vehicle, you piece of shit!' And when you succeed in escaping them with your tank, they will say: 'Don't tell me I lost that asshole!' It seems like the more pissed they are, the funnier they become.

No Masters
There is no Masters, there is just Slaves obeying other Slaves: no one is responsible if everything goes wrong.
Doug Stanhope, one of my favorite
I like this guy very much, he's totally hilarious. You have to watch No Refunds, one of his stand-up comedy show.
