I hear you man, I just spent the past 10 years in IT slavery. Nothing worse IMO than modern day slavery. Don't say it's not slavery either. When your deciding when your getting up in the AM your not a slave. Anything less than that is suppression of life and slavery. We're just under the misconception that we own some stuff that we're not slaves.I gotta wife, youngin', roof over my head and a 20. I consider myself wealthy...
6000ft of it is for his massive frontal lobe.7000 sq ft will give you tons of room for spiritual expansion.

oh that's my basement
Ahhhh....It's the palladium in Worse-ter. Absolute dump.
There ya go chief. Why let the haters dictate how your life is going to be. You want to be a stinking rich SOB, go for it. I don't give a sh*t what anybody thinks. Obviously. Most people just automatically assume that people with money are a****s, but anybody that's ever rolled with me has seen otherwise. I always pay for everything, but I will steamroller over anything or anyone that gets in the way of my goal. Not to sound like a jerk. I don't mean that literally, but nobody is going to tell me how it's going to be, and I made a conscious choice to get out of modern day slavery and the debt system that enslaves you to it.
See, here's the key. I'm happy now. I got rid of most the crap I've owned. I've had 8 bicycles at once and 15 guitars. I wanted to burn all the crap. Now that does not mean I'm a hypocrit. It just means that I learned a valuable lesson. I am not defined by stuff, period. No matter if I live in a box or a MTV crib, I'm me and I'm happy. I'm not perfect, I get miserable daily, but I catch myself now and don't persist in that state.
When I was a hateful a*****e for the first 33 years of my life, I had nothing but physical and mental pain. I feel the need not to sway others to believe what I do any longer and have learned to listen more and not inject my opinion. All that does is take away from the constant state required to get where you want to be. For me it was as simple as remain a hateful pri*k and have nothing but bad crap happen over and over, or become a more caring and loving person that feels good and that is the state required to be in to do obtain a large goal in life.
This is why two people can open identical businesses side by side. One flourishes because of the kind hearted outgoing owner who expects success and the other perishes due to a hate the world type of attitude. Hate the world, hate yourself, simple as that. Most people as well don't really understand their core beliefs about money. This is obvious in this thread. I'm feeling a bit of tension in the posts perhaps because of where I'm at these days compared to 3 years ago. I once believed that anyone with more than a weekly check was a greedy bastard. That's a false belief, unjustified by any real world evidence. We're full of them. But most don't do the work to sit down and analyze their belief systems realizing that most of the beliefs we hold about a thing such as money aren't even our own.
So we go an pursue something considered outrageous but subconsciously we're at battle with ourselves because of the beliefs that we hold that are contradicting what we've set out to do. It's easier just to go home and sit down with a six pack and pizza and watch reruns of Benny Hill on Friday night. I've gotten pretty sick of the same day over and over. H8R makes a good point too. But for me, it's not about stuff, it's about personal freedom to express myself creatively. I was not creating anything as an IT idiot. I work best with my hands. I can sit for hours and hours with a guitar part until I get it. I can sit with a pile of wood and tools and make something magnificent. This is what I truly enjoy, not buying another frign bicycle.
G' evening.
