I had some friends from all different areas of my life over for a BBQ. The question came up about if I can do all of this shit on the internet, why am I not rich?
The guy asking that question perceived me as barely making it... Why? Because I rent a 3300sq ft 5BD/4BA home and drive 2 used cars. A 98' Jeep Cherokee and a 98' Suburban.
If I was rich or well off I would be driving a BMW or an Infinity. I would own a home and not rent...
But I guess I have different priorities than most people. I invest a lot of money back into my business and it shows. I quadruple my income every year. I probably will not buy a home until I can pay 1/4 of it in cash and I am looking in the 1.2 to 1.6 million price range.
I also won't buy another new car again for life... Why pay $45,000 for something that will just depreciate to $30,000 in 2 years and in 5 years will be completely out of style and sell for $16,000 in mint condition?
