That doesn't make any sense. If you want to worry about something,
worry about supporting the lazy ****s who don't want to work.

you mean the wall street hedgefund managers?

Those guys work a lot harder than you do. 12 hour days and 6 or 7 day
weeks are not uncommon. The thing most people do not understand is how
hard rich people work to get rich and stay rich.
Greed is a real slave master.

Is it greed or desire for independance? I mean this seriously as to me
I never looked at it like greed. And never screwed anyone for a dime
doing it.

Played stock ticker as a kid, later started as a hobby, next thing you
know I could see a path with savings for independance. Spent years
driving beaters, saving plenty, avoiding debt... Now, I could get laid
off tomorrow and take a good world vacation knowing I can pay for it,
unemployed...

Imagine 9 people going for the same professional job. hat is just who
makes it to the first interview. Who do you want to hire. 4 are in
debt up to their heads, just desperate to have th job. Next 4 are ok
financially, but didn't invest in themselves. Or the 1 who is
confident, no debt on their minds and focused. Sharp because they
invested the personal skills. So which gets the job?

That is a freedom kick. Not having to go to work because I have to pay
the debt lets me choose career paths I like, not what I have to.

Or at least that is what I enjoy the most about it. Lets me focus
better on job and life that we (wife and I) want and less on petty crap
like worring about "money".
