Seems like as long as I have a comfortable place to live and good food to eat and money left for entertainment -- I'm all good. Once you got the bills paid -- what keeps you working for that "extra" money...???

How many of you actually "save" for the future? Seems like a waste to me -- as long as I can form a complete thought, I'll be able to work -- there's no point in saving for retirement.

Why do you work? Travel? Hobby? For your family? Comfort? Girlfriend? Wife? Security? Insecurity? Small penis? The good of mankind?

In this biz we can work as hard as we need to -- you know there is always more work we can be doing -- shit -- most of us have more than enough ideas to work as many hours as necessary...

You can be greedy as you want to be... I look at these people that have "real" jobs -- and I think how difficult it is for them to have put themselves into some kind of income "category"... the concept of money and wealth is so relative... but we have a choice!

It's easy to get caught up in the romance of wealth or the romance of poverty... some of the hottest women I know are poor as shit -- and they look damn good hungry too -- and their boyfriends are poor too... Sometimes I look on with envy.

What is really important in your life...? Do you really really want a Porsche? Why? Do you like the way they look? Go to the dealership and sit down -- and take a real good look -- do a drawing -- take some pics -- there you go -- now you have SEEN a Porsche... Sit in the drivers-seat... Do you really think that hot chicks will dig you in a Porsche?

Is it all about "success"? If you have "expensive" things -- do you feel succesful? When have you succeeded? Who decides what the value of something is...? Character, mistique, and ambience don't cost money -- but they can make you feel or appear just as successful...

Sure lots of girls are looking for "security" as my Mom loves to point out -- but fuck security. I don't want a chick that likes me because I have life insurance. Fuck those bitches. Where's the romance in security and prediction? If I lost everything -- I want my girl right there with me eating 99 cent Whoppers LOL.

Yesterday I spent $35 on lunch and hung out with a bunch of fat old politicians smoking cigars -- but the night before I made a few new friends chatting over $1 Pabst Blue Ribbon cans... Do you see my point? My favorite places to go now are actually the least expensive...

I can't be the only person that thinks about this shit...
