But then what is the point of working harder and desiring advancement in
your career? I think the saddest thing is someone who is in their prime
earning years and not workig to maximum potential because of apathy. If
you're 55+ years old, that attitude is fine. But not at my age.


Hey!

Not to bring a dog to this debate, but for most people, their prime earning
and maximum potential years in terms of a career is in their 50's to 60's.

NOYB, as your "handle" stipulates, this question is none of my business, so
ignore it if you desire, but I am curious. Are you married? Do you have
any dependents, married or not?

I ask because your seemingly aggressive financial approach to life makes
perfect sense to me for a single person with no current or future financial
responsibilities other than to himself/herself. I am not saying it's right
or wrong but if someone in their mid 30's with a financial responsibility
for others who highly leverages themselves with interest only mortgages,
plus car and boat loans at basically the beginning of their career and
earning potential is taking a bit of a risk, IMHO. Old school maybe, but
too much debt can be a career killer no matter how much you earn at the
moment.

My question was prompted by your statement to Don White, "No thanks.
Thinking small is for the unmotivated in life."
