Money is like many other things in life, more is better but there is a point of diminishing returns in regards to happiness. I remember reading an article that a pay increase from 50k to 80k makes hardly any difference in the quality of your life's happiness.

OP is right. I've worked for small business owners and they are constantly working. Not even necessarily that much richer either. I mean maybe OP is, but a lot of business owners aren't necessarily 10k/day and they still have a lot going on.

I do admire them, and having worked for a couple has made me want to do it myself (if I can figure out what to market and be successful.... which so far I haven't so I haven't done anything). If I can't figure out one for myself though I still have an opportunity to help the one who I work for now grow hers even more. I like what we do and if I can be a part of building it further it's pretty rewarding even if it's not really mine.

Anyway, OP is completely right. If you want to be an entrepreneur you'll probably only survive if you genuinely like doing the business that you create cause you will work a sh*t load.
"One day I won't be able to lift any more. Not I won't want to lift. I mean physically unable. That day could be decades from now or it could be tomorrow. All I know is that's the day I'll wish I could lift more than ever. The day I'd give anything for one more workout, one more set, or one more cardio session. So go hard and enjoy every workout, every set, every rep. Because one day you will wake up and you will never get it back."

Believe what you want. I’ve posted a couple things here. Definitely not posting specifics. Everything I said applies to a wild range of incomes though, so use it or don’t.. just trying to kill the myth of what it’s like to “make it” according to misc

Whether OP is frauding or not he is definitely right. My girlfriends family are multi millionaires and pretty much everything OP stated is dead on in their life.
I did not have sexual relations with that woman, Miss Lewinsky. I never told anybody to lie, not a single time; never. These allegations are false. And I need to go back to work for the American people. Thank you.

Read every word (srs).

Working my three 12-hour shifts a week as an RN right now and will be done in 1.5 years with my NP degree, which will be a huge pay increase.

My idea of happiness is plenty of leisure time with the family, being able to go out to eat whenever I want or not being concerned with the price of groceries, and eventually hoping to build an excellent, top tier home/garage gym.

Currently at 1/3, so doing ok.

This. Im doing pretty well, and im not interested in the fancy cars,clothes,vacations etc. I just want to be able to hang out with my friends all the time. Just got back from the skatepark and it was a good time.

IMO entrepreneurship is largely about the journey. It's about doing something you feel is important and exciting. It's about gaining the skills necessary to succeed and transforming yourself as a person. It's about testing your intellect against the world. It's about finally reaching a certain level of achievement and being able to take pride in that. It's about taking yourself from that dump ass family problem riddled sh!thole and turning your life around. It's about proving all the haters wrong. Etc...

Sometimes I think I should have just saved up for a few years and traveled the world instead of starting a business. I definitely would have been happier in those years, but in the future who knows.

One thing is for certain though, once you start a business it's always going to be on your mind. You can't just peace it and go backpacking for months on end anymore.
Death is impossible for us to fathom: it is so immense, so frightening, that we will do almost anything to avoid thinking about it. Society is organized to make death invisible, to keep it several steps removed. That distance may seem necessary for our comfort, but it comes with a terrible price: the illusion of limitless time, and a consequent lack of seriousness about daily life. We are running away from the one reality that faces us all.

Crazy how much I can relate to this. Sounds bang on about relationships, people speeding up when you put on your blinker, and with rich people always trying to one-up each other.


Btw what sport car do you drive? I drive a Mercedes CLS.

You'll make it if you want it bad enough brah. Just be careful of overhead. It adds up fast and can sink your operation.

it wasn't one thing... I launched and failed probably like 7 businesses. (biggest mistake was opening 2 retail stores).. real estate was the biggest payoff, but anyone could have made money doing that with this run up.

3000 lbs of protein, yes.

The few shelters I contacted didn't want it. I didn't feel like selling it small by small, and it's expiring in 2 months so I'm just going to throw it out. It's unflavoured so not many people want it. Always WAY too busy to like toss it up on craigslist and coordinate giving away bags here and there.

is C43 the amg version of CLA? If it is, I'd def spend a little more and go with the C63..

When I took my car in for service they gave me a b200 (mercedes PLS) and I swapped it for a CLA250 rental... I wasn't really impressed with the car at all.. C63 would definitely be wayyyyy nicer than C43 imho.

and I love the AMG... Personally I think there is no car out there in that price range that sounds as nice. BMW/Audi/Lexus don't even come close to the sound.. Make sure you remove the resonator though

No the c43 and 63 are the same thing with the same body style except the 43 has awd which the 63 doesn't have, but the 63 has 500 horsepower compared to 362.

Is buying the C63 and buying a beater 4runner for your winter daily possible? I'm sure you could find an older 4runner for a couple grand that would be great for the snow.

Yeah that wouldn't be a problem. Might just get a little pickup for the winter. Haha well it looks like I should get the 63. That 500 horsepower probably feels incredible lol, my 550 has 400
