No offense meant here but maybe your brother is a bit of a miser? Reminds me a story about this guy who lived in a shack in my town when I was growing up. Total nutjob..hoarding newspapers...living in squalor..the whole bit. He dies....come to find out his estate is in the millions. The money didn't make him happy....or was it the lack of neurotransmitters? I have starved and I have gorged....no comparison.
Not sure how happy one can be with money but I can say without a doubt it surely lights up the face and brings a huge smile to the strippers I give my money to so it certainly makes them happy
Cooldude, No apologies necessary. Government bureaucracy has taken the joy out of teaching. Too much paperwork and testing and not enough teaching what matters. I'm happy with what I have. Mainly consisting of a great family and a place to live. I'm far from successfully trading anything. I've just started trying to learn (at age 41) what you guys might be able to tell me about having a little extra for my family and maybe someday being able to show my kids (age 3 and 4) a better way to make a living. I appreciate all that you guys share. Continued good luck in your trading.
Actually, he earned all of it, but he was very young. My point is that given enough time, we can all forget, and the essential duality reasserts itself. As for the serious, serious problems you're alluding to, well, we're ALL going to have that problem inevitably. : )
I remember an interview I had once with a not-so-famous author after he made some dough with a movie deal. So what did you do with all the money you earned after the movie deal? Well, I spent 95% on hookers, booze, and drugs. Unfortunately the rest I just pissed away.
I do not know if I am qualified to answer... I have so many projects to start and ones that I am involved in...there is a place for every single penny I have now and for time to come... There seems to be no shortage of projects...how does Bill Gates do it! Michael B. P.S. I do not even have time to go out and buy a new car...(prolly cause I am in here every weekend!)
