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".

Government has liberals, idealists and lawyers, but where is the common
sense?
