I havent given up on getting rich, but I recently thought about what David Deida said: Whatever it is that you really want, imagine you have it, pretend you have it, right now, and think about what would be different. Act like you have it. Not just money - fame, a huge mansion, three ferraris, or maybe you want a harem full of sex slaves. Whatever it is. I thought about $100M in the bank and I realized that it would solve only one problem in my life: The problem of not driving a Ferrari. Now frankly, put it this way, it sounds like a pretty idiotic, petty "problem" to have. There are certainly many other challenges I face every day that are worse than "not driving a Ferrari", pretty much anything, relationship issues, balancing time with my kids, figuring out what I really want, etc - none of these other things would be any different with money. In fact money and more worldly possessions would be yet another time sink. It would have to be managed, things would have to be managed, managers for the yacht and the 5 houses would have to be hired and managed, and fired, and so on. Likelihood of having more time to do whatever: Low. Maybe Id get a bigger house - but I am on the verge of building a new house anyway and its going to be big enough until the kids move out. Also "not having a bigger house" is not an issue I think about very often. Or ever. Same with not having a super yacht. Do you want to change the world? You dont need money. If youre telling yourself that you are just making excuses. I guess maybe that is why we all strive for money - because we can very conveniently tell ourselves that we would be these super people if only we had a bit more money. Yeah right. Stop making excuses and start living your life.
