Trader lifestyle

Wow. Isn't this funny :D Everybody telling everyone what they should or shouldn't do. Too many people talk from the "you" side instead of the "I" side.

I create my own reality. Think about it, "I create my own reality".

What does that mean? I'll let you decide.

I chose my path with all the infinite probabilities and ACCEPT that responsibility. I accept you chose your path.

I am in a state of becoming. What the hell does that mean? I'll let you decide.

Whether I die rich or poor I will have lived my life the way I CHOSE to live it. Start talking from the I side instead of the You side and see what happens. It's difficult, very difficult, but life changing.

What I like or hate in others is a mirror to my soul.

I will end with "I create my own reality".

Quote from thedewar:

IMO when you start trading (it was mentioned earlier) spending 100k on a car isn't spending 100k on a car... if you're any good at trading its spending 500k+ on that car.... people start to realize that the oppertunity cost of owning anything especially when that money makes you money is ALOT higher than the sticker price.

At the same time too i think traders are focused on trading... every dollar is another dollar to continue trading with... its no longer about what you can buy but how much you can make

BINGO!!!
 
Quote from DHOHHI:



If you did drive your Lambraghini around town what would be your objective? Is it that you're perhaps insecure and want -- or need -- for people to see how successful you are?

Possibly in my subconscious mind, but I love cars, always have, and when I see someone drive a fine, car, i always say to myself "damn, i wish i had something like that!". I admire them, because they are successful, and imo, nothing to be ashamed about. If anything, it inspires me to want to work harder to afford the nicer things in life. I think there is a difference between showing off your toys, and being stuck-up, and thinking that your better than someone because of it. I wouldnt be like that.

I find more happiness going into an inner city school 2 afternoons a week and working with kids who are academically way behind, who come from poverty stricken homes and have absolutely nothing in life. And I drive there in my Pontiac Grand Am -- by choice and not based on what I can afford. [/B]

That remindes me of that movie "Take the lead" http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1808718772/info . I used to do lots of volunteer work when i was younger.

Anyone can live below there means, rich and poor. So if you have money....you only live once, why not do the things you always wanted to do? example: people dream of winning the lottery, and what they will do with their wealth. If your making good coin, why settle for less?....I understand why.....yet at the same time, i dont. A lot of people dont like those that are became successful. (ET is a good example of that jeliously)...but who really cares about their opinion anyway
 
My TV Has More Value Than Your TV

My first job, other than a paper route, was working in an audio/video store called Crazy Eddies. Those of you on the east coast of the United States will likely remember the store or at least the commercials. And no the guy in the commercials wasn’t Eddie. Anyway we used to sell these two knockoff brands of televisions. I think they were a knockoff of a major brand, but I can’t honestly remember after all these years. The two knockoffs were called Multi-tech and Dyna-tech. They were exactly the same in every way. Same tv, same packaging, and even the same price. The only difference was those few letters at the start of each name. One was Multi and the other Dyna. That was the only difference.

One day two customers came to the stock window to pick up their sets. They’d each bought one of the two knockoffs. While one of my coworkers was grabbing their tvs I listened to the two of them debate which of their tvs was better all the while knowing they’d purchased the same thing. I smiled to myself as they quoted features to each other and made up facts the sales person told them about the set they were taking home. And all the time each was going home with the exact same tv that they’d bought for the exact same price.

So why were they arguing with each other over who got the better tv?

The answer is that people don’t buy on price. They buy on value of more correctly their perceived value in a product of service. People by brand name foods in the supermarket, because they believe the brand is better in some way and offers a better value. Two people can argue over which of the exact same television is the better bargain because each perceives the set they are buying offers a better value.

How much you will pay for something depends on your perception of value; unless you have been drinking or pissed off the wife, etc. I remember paying $85.00 for some shitty ass roses on Valentine's day. Guys were ten deep nervously hoping they wouldn't run out.

You have obviously not been through the ups and downs of car ownership. Here are things to consider:

1) All vehicles depreciate and break-down eventually (except for well maintained Honda and Toyota 4 cylinder vehicles). The luxury car will go down a lot more in value in 3 years then other non-luxury/non-sport vehicles.

2) A high-profile car attracts both wanted and unwanted attention. Lets say you are worth millions. Do you really want the attention everywhere you go? In a lesser vehicle, you become virtually invisible.

3) Luxury and sport vehicles usually are no good in bad weather.

4) Insurance, maintenance and detailing is more intensive with the more expensive vehicles meaning more stops at the dealership. More stops at the fuel station. More time of yours wasted...

The only vehicles I will ever buy in my lifetime are either Hondas or Toyotas. Toyotas are for those who want a more plush ride. Hondas are for those who want a more sport ride. The 4 cylinder model Hondas are fast enough, reliable and will deliver the least headaches.

Also, as you grow older, you will learn that possessions of any kind are aging anchors. That nice bed and couch that you bought for thousands of dollars cant be sold and if you have to ever move then you find yourself dragging these things with you.

Dont focus on vehicles or possessions, but on experiences. At your age, I would focus on traveling to different places and expierencing life. Invest in a good digital camera and snap away. Get as many women as you can. Travel...
