[QUOTE="RidgeHunter, post: 1602909, member: 4319"] People always say "live each day like it was your last". That's the biggest load of bullcrap ever; nobody can do that. What you can do is live each day to where if it turned out to be your last, you wouldn't be completely fawking disgusted with yourself about how you've been living (IE, long hours at a job you loathe with every fiber of your being). That's my goal. Money has never been a motivator for me. I've turned down opportunities that could have led to more money, simply because I hate working (well, working a job. If you gave me a couple thousand acres of woods I'd work on it everyday. Anyone want to?) , and I hate stress. The best thing about money to me is that it affords you freedom. Some people have a lot more money than others, but we all have a limit on how much time we have. If you have to hate life for a while to get money to enjoy life later, that's not worth it to me. Cliche bullcrap, but you really don't know that you'll make it to retirement. Enjoy life while you can, as best you can. I've pretty much set my life up to where I'm not saddled by bills and debt that force me to work a high paying job (that I would hate). A lot of it was just luck that I was able to make halfway decent money at a young age and get things headed that way. What I do now is OK because it pays decent when I'm busy, and allows me free time when it's slow. In the fall of 2009 it was really slow and I hunted 4-6 days a week during deer season. It was a blast. Now I could aggressively try to get more work, and perhaps double what my income has been lately, but the money isn't worth it to me. If it ever dries up, or gets to be a drag on me, I think I'd be able to take a part-time "no thinking required" job while going back to school or changing career paths to something I enjoy. Hopefully I can avoid ever having a job I loathe. [/QUOTE]
