Do You Think Schizophrenics Can Be Rich?
How so, and how would that affect the scz symptoms?

If they are exceptionally high functioning and good at something that pays well, I suppose.
Or if they inherit.
I wouldn’t mind being merely well off. I have no desire to be wealthy. I don’t see either of those things happening for me.

Absolutely,
I’ve written some incredible stuff,
I may sell it one day and make big money.
That aside, I make totally decent money writing what I do now.
Its more than possible,
Its just depends on your symptoms and coping skills.

How about this side of the equation though?
When you say rich do you mean like a millionaire? Probably would have to be high functioning to begin with. Probably need a high IQ and obviously stabilized. Then you would need to have a skill like investing, programming, entrepreneurial skills, etc. I think day trading would be the way to go. That or being a programming genius! I think it would add increased stress but if you’re high functioning, you can do it.

I like this answer. It says everything that I know for fact. I’d follow it if I were anyone else. As far as me… 
That’s my life.
I guess. I screwed my self when i decided money is evil. What are the stats like for millionaire sz? Probably not very good… would most people even let others know that they are sz if they amassed wealth?

You can be rich without any money.

I have seen many people that believe this, and I understand why it is a popular saying and belief ideology, but it makes people more controllable at their expense because if your assets are a direct line of resources, and you have no assets, then you, your family, your friends, and your town etc don’t have any resources. Another word they call that is powerless. Being broke means powerless.
Most people think when they hear that money is the root of all evil as money is evil itself. No, not at all. Money is just information that says that you own a unit quantity of so much value in a liquid asset. A liquid asset just means that you can go virtually anywhere, and trade that asset for something of equal or greater value. An iliquid asset is when you can’t find anyone to trade it for equal or greater value right away, and it may take a long time to find someone. This goes for anything you store value in such as real estate, cars, boats, gold, silver, businesses, talent, knowledge…
By the way, wealth is assets, talent, and knowledge. The more of any one of those you have, the more of any of the others you can trade it for. Assets is like money, properties such as homes and businesses etc.
No one can really no that. I assume that it’s virtually non existent for one fact only. When you are wealthy you have a virtually limitless social life if that is what you are interested in as well as many other things. This state of mind constantly going on year after year is not a condition of scz, so basically it’s like a plunger that pushes out the scz junk, and replaces it with new stuff and new people all of the time.
I saw a UK study some years ago about how they put something like 100+ scz’s in rich mansions and palaces for a long time with all of the butlers special treatment that goes with that kind of life. The conclusion was that their symptoms started vanishing right away.
No. They wouldn’t. It wouldn’t even be necessary, but most of all it really is irrelevant. People don’t usually have any conversations about how the mind works, and that has been how the world has been for ages but supposedly most of all these days. So to begin a convo about something like that wouldn’t be socially practical most of the time. Also what would you rather do? Go see a doc, or go have a ball. Having a ball is their therapy. Talking with just about anyone is their counseling. Treating themselves with goodies and experiences galore is their medication.
Most of all the reputation of an scz would be financially and socially risky for them. Unless they were somebody that was say a philosopher, logician, and business man understanding politics and the movements of civilization, the typical person whether rich or not would not know how to navigate the social waters both publicly and privately with that kind of reputation stuck on them. It would be something like walking nude into the crossfire rather than being an expert in those things in an armored tank equipped with expert side personnel assisting inside with you and armored drone tanks and planes surrounding you as you strategically make a campaign through the crossfire. So unless you’re like that, you’ll decline that kind of “good time.”
I have to save up just to be broke!
But I’m rich in family…in good over all health…etc.

No. Money itself is evil. Its designed to enslave nations. Id rather not compromise my minds well being to amass great quantities of it.
Living in a consumer based society is detrimental to the human mind in so many ways. I have neither the time nor the will to explain these in detail. Either you like money or you dont. I do not. You obviously do…enjoy…

Well if I’m just being a broke skitz on the taxpayer dole, then I’m not offering any value to anyone. I can get major things done with wealth like most people can, and this is how most people change lives for the better.
I actually forgot to say this to your post. When you are a research of civilization around the world (it’s one, big, old civilization phenomenon), you know a lot of information about the world, and thus you know a lot about how it works. I’m not talking about a few things heard here and there. I’m talking about a dedication to this kind of research and relay through writing and speech giving etc for decades straight.
When you have the world all sorted out, you see that the most evil things done are most of all by governments and their corporate/banking constituents, and you see what the purpose their genocides and wars are: control.
Wars and genocides make them very rich, and with that wealth they can control laws to be enforced that keep them rich, and keep the competition at bay.
Government have killed more people in the world than any disease or war, and it was the people that they were governing that they killed. This psychopathic behavior goes back many thousands of years.
BUT if I want to make a lot of money, and help a lot of people, as well as enjoy a lot of things, this does not mean that neither myself nor my money is of them. This is OUR economy. We will DO what we want with it, and if we are confronted by elitist brain washers calling themselves governments, corporations, banks, royalty, priests, or whatever, then we well cross that road then. I can guarantee you this though. If you are broke on the days that these things come to pass, then you will lose everything to them because you can’t win without…
…money.
Very fine work, Mr. MyDuck. Had a good day’s work, eh?
Yes, I believe so. However it would be more difficult then a normal person trying to get rich I would imagine. We have more to overcome. In history there has been many successful schizophrenic scientists and musicians. They definitely had more money than I do.

THAT explains why I’ve been doing so well ever since I moved into this independent senior living community! They treat us like Kings and Queens in here. Literally. They wait on us hand and foot. I might as well be living in a mansion. I have no bothersome sza symptoms anymore. All my life, I was tortured by my symptoms. That is, until I moved in here.

If I was rich I’d be less stressed and could afford things like rent food and other basics without worry. Which would cut down on stress cause then at least I’d have that stability in my life. And I don’t see any reason sz can’t be rich

Well, there’s guys like John Nash, Ellyn Saks, Fred Freese and Bill McAfee who did all right for themselves but it seems like they are the exceptions and not the rule. I don’t know if tney are worth a million dollars but they probably made decent money. Of course, there’s probably schizophrenic’s who inherit big money or live a luxurious lifestyle with rich parents.
