money doesn't make me happy, (nor anything else)

One thing I haven't do yet and still regret it is to kill someone. It seems to be a good cause this time. :D

Edit: Wait a minute, I'm not fast to understand your point. Now I think I get it. The reason why I would kill you if you reveal your trading system to me is because I'll blow up my account using your system. Inversely, I would be so grateful to you if I can make money out of your system.

i would be killed if i ever spoke the truth about what i know

Quote from chewbacca:

i was once a dead broke trader struggling to make even minimum wage.....i was miserable then

i'm now making 30-60k a month and i'm even more miserable now........because the knowledge i had to gain to make this kind of money is depressing knowledge.......i would be killed if i ever spoke the truth about what i know.......its true that ignorance is bliss

so now i'm thinking maybe i should start smoking pot......maybe that'll make me happy

or maybe i should start banging hookers as a hobby.....maybe that'll make me happy

or maybe move to africa and become a pirate

yup, not addicting though. I'm cutting back a bit so I can get down to work on some stuff for awhile...

Researchers have gotten hopelessly depressed people out of hospitals after ONE day with that stuff!! And I mistyped it affects endorphins not serotonin.. whatever.....
 
Quote from coolweb:

Money allows you freedom to create your own setup/freedom of choice.

IT gives you free time where you can go and hunt the women or women(s) you desire , It gives you the free time to go surfing or swimming whenever you want.

For me its working out, trading once a week, and eating, and fcking women.

You can do all that when you are broke, pretty much. It might take a bit more time and effort, and the quality might be a bit lower, but you can do it. You can definitely do it with any remotely decent job.

Money is useful but time, and 5 years of your life, has infinite value.

i hope you know that once you start taking some sort of sh*t it is all downhill from there for >99% people.

you may end up like rearden metal. at least make some $$ first so that you could afford the stuff when it is downward spiral.
 
Quote from asap:

money is no source of happiness. when i had none i was miserable and frustrated because i wanted to be rich. as time progressed, i achieved some of my important financial goals (so i thought). almost immediately i realized that money was not adding any psychological improvement to my life. the fact is, everything that money can buy cant change your state of mind. the pursuit of money as the holy grail of fulfilling life experience is a totally off base premise for conducting our lives.

for those that achieve these goals, they realize that, after all, money haven't brought happiness at all, as materialism exhausts itself on its shallowness and emptiness of purpose.

I agree.... and I would also like to add (I will try to make it short):

been there, and until I changed myself I couldn't really appreciate life....for me the change was to give up my narcissistic ways....although back then I would have been furious if anyone called me selfish, I strongly believed that everything and everyone but me was more or less evil...
what a terrible way to live. It felt good to be rich & successful (not with trading) but at the same time I was getting more and more bitter and depressed, and this at a very young age. Back then I blamed all this on the evil business people, the money making, the world....everything but me. To this day my Mom reminds me how I used to tell her "I have everything, but nothing makes me happy, and there's no love in me", and how sad it made her.
luckily I'm over it.
I may add that it took a major disaster for me to change, and I'm thankful that it happened, despite that there's probably still more work do be done :)

my point is: you don't necessarily need to change your lifestyle, or start something new (I tried both, and it didn't work), sometimes just a small change within yourself can do wonders.

naahh, unless he's prone to certain rare health conditions, he's going to be fine :) D-Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid that is needed for normal functioning of the central nervous system. It has been used successfully to help control symptoms of depression /lack of energy etc. It's safe unless he really abuses it. I take it from time to time, it helps (try it together with Tyrosine, it works even better)....look it up, it's not a drug, in fact it helps meth/cocke addicts do get off the drugs. Amino acids can be found in certain foods, and protein powders as a supplement.

All jobs require a mininum of 8 hours a day, thats government 9-5 , not wall street 10 hours a day.
Factor in 30 minutes for lunch, Factor in 1 hour for transporation.


You end up "working" for almost 10 hours a day.


24 hours a day
8 hours to sleep
10 hours for work


6 hours of free time each day
*** not a lot to go swimming, hunting women, or anything. Most people would probably spend those 6 hours sittin gon their couch tired from 10 hours of work.



I have 24 hours for free every single day, Everyday my routine is

Wake up @ 10:00 AM
- look at charts for 2 hours
Have girl cook me lunch/breakfast.
Workout for 1 hour
Walk home from workout - 1.5 hours
5PM by now.
Go to a movie theatre @ 7PM
Come home @ 10PM

Sleep.
SO as you can see, the only entertainment I really had was, movies.
And of course trading.



In reality most people don't have much time at all. A "good job" won't give you any free time. No job is the only thing that allows you to have "Time"
 
The worst thing that can happen to the thread starter right now is being "complacent" With 30-50k per month.

30-50k per month is not big money for<b> "short term " opportunities</b>. You will not be retired wealthy on 30-50k. @ that rate . you still need 3 whole years to make just 1 million dollars net.


3 WHOLE YEARS.
