damn David, that's certainly one way to look at things :)

That's actually what I meant.

I'm so simple and frugal in comparison and I nearly jumped out of my skin and said "You want a fucking room just for your shoes?"

And like an idiot caved in.


:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

been there done that

nothing wrong with old navy or girls that shop there

my empire crumbled when i was 18 due to drugs, mostly heroin and coke, i was banking 10k a day and at the end of every day had nothing to show for it

i had all the bitches in the world, hanging out naked for the drugs
some crazy fucking parties

fortunately one day a couple years after it started i just snapped out of it and said 'i'll be back in an hour' and just took a drive and never came back

i left a beautiful apartment behind, fully furnished and all, still to this day i wonder what happened with that, never went back to the area

i still do alot of drugs, mostly just the chronic and with my guy friends or alone and refuse to be with girls that indulge

i have the cars and homes, still looking for a good women, in the meantime i bang alot of hot escorts, keeps me sane

27

Around this time I realized that money is hardly the key to happiness.

agreed

no doubt

alot of times i envy those with simple lives, as silly as it sounds with money comes problems

I have thought long and hard about these very issues many times.

My responses can seem crass, but they are based upon years of trial and error.

At the end of the day, you can live a life consumed with cash flow, and thoughts of 'when will I retire", etc etc I find it is better to continue to build the nest egg until a level of comfort is discerned, then throw caution to the wind. Unfortunately, the level of security needed keeps being raised. So it is a constant battle.

I have been through it all... and at the end of the day I like nubile women that are high maintenance. The results are usually the same but the ride is amazing.

I have been back in Florida for a couple weeks, and I have tried to live the 'normal' life. Needless to say, I have a flight out of here on the 24th. I have spent the better part of the last 1.5 years on the road throughout the Carib and Europe, leading the rock star life. There are days I long for the peaceful existence, but then when I try to get back to the peaceful existence I realize how much more fun the 'life' is. The piles of materialistic shit gets left behind, for when I return, what really matters is the soft touch and sweet insides of Eastern/Cental European dancers.

I will opt for the 'easy' choice when I can no longer attract the 'tough' choice.

"All my friends are dancers, thugs, and drug dealers. What some people consider insanity, I consider normal life. What you consider normal, I consider prison"

Simple is much easier on the soul.

I've done both and simple has always brought me more peace of mind.

Yeh, and its a very scary moment when you're sitting there all alone in your big mansion and saying now what? This is it?

The times when I lost money have been a great relief ironically. I realized its all about the climb. That's the rush and the thrill. Sitting on top all alone is very hard to deal with.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

50 wannabe millionaires :0

I hear you. I went through much of what you described when I was 17 to 20. Walked away when I was 21, in the middle of the night, moved to Florida, have not been back in 10 years.

What I am talking about now is different than the dealer/user dream. I am talking about the carefree easy living mentality.

Not letting much of anything bother me, and just straight up enjoying life without the addition of too much drama, if any.

With age, I have developed a series of 'givens' that have proven themselves over and over to be true. I try not to make concrete philosophical changes, but more in the lines of material things.

I like fast cars. I have owned SUVs, luxury cars, etc etc There is nothing that brings me more joy than a car with 2 leather seats, and a powerful engine.

I like Italian clothes. I have tried others, but at the end of the day, nothing fits like Italian clothes and shoes. I do not bother trying anything else on. If it is not Italian, it does not touch my body.

I like Central/Eastern European women. I have tried Americans, Canadians, etc etc. The body, mindset, and intellect of this kind of woman can not be matched.

I like Cuban Cigars. I have tried cigars from the Domican Republic, Jamaica, USA, etc. There is nothing that comes close to a Cuban.

etc etc etc

Understand?

have laptop will travel

thats the way to do it these days, lowkey

This is one interesting thread, Davidd puts things in a whole new point of view for me :)

Why not get a wifey, real love, kids and have a life based on something else then money ?

I love money but I don't wanna base my lifestyle on it ... I make a lot of it but it's only stability for me . Not extra spending money

If you read my previous posts you will see that the whole point of my posts is not about money. When I clearly am talking about materialistic things I make that clear.

As for your question, you assume I do not have real love, kids, etc.

I have a daughter, more 'real' love, true happiness, and cash than any human could want.

The point of my posts is to give people who are searching for something good, a glimpse into what I have tried and what I feel is good and what I feel should be passed over.

No one will know until they try it themselves, but while you are young you should not idle down the engines. To be honest with you, I do not think at any age you should pull into the break down lane, throw up your hands, and let the world zoom by you.

-dd

i can definitely see your point of view. i've thought about all of the same things myself, many times.

all the years we'd chatted back and forth, i honestly had no idea there was this other side to you, waiting to get out.

i think i've tried to move things in the right direction for myself. though my entire life, snowboarding, and the mountains, have been the things i always dreamed about being able to enjoy full-time, living directly on the slopes of a world class resort. other than my currently broken ankle, i've made that a reality. i hate having to deal with cleaning shit up, the daily bullshit, etc, so rather than get some house i have to worry about, i have an ultra-low maintaince condo where absolutely *everything* is taken care of for me.

regarding cars, i've always LOVED sports cars, and now i have the means to be able to enjoy them. this is a serious weakness of mine.

the things i want to do more of (other than continuing to snowboard and hike every day) are traveling, and going back to University. i really need to get my act together on these two things. i read about your adventures and i have to admit i drool.

female companionship: sounds like an amazing time, but i think i'd just feel lonely at the end of the day, with the type of women you are describing. though again, i can *certainly* see your point of view.

a question: honestly David, it sounds like you are burning a huge amount of money traveling so extensively, in the style you do. doesn't this worry you?

i know you wanted to talk to me the other day, sorry we didn't get the chance to chat.

Dave

he's a brilliant guy.

is there money in this biz?

Interesting... very very interesting

My guess is, you didn't even bother to read this thread.

It has always been there, I just rarely could be bothered talking to most people as they live their sheltered lives and as they get older their minds close more and more. So I surround myself with people who still have an open mind. There are constantly new people entering my life, as the world is full of people like us. You just need to find them, and put the neon light on saying, "Hey, yes, I do understand". Language becomes a huge issue in this arena. I was recently in a guys castle in Czech Republic, hanging out, using a Slovakian chick as a translater. At the end of the night (morning) I turned to him and said (via the chick) "My friend, there are many people like us out there, I have met many of them. Take care.".

Basically the same situation I have been setting myself up with. I have a moderately sized house in Florida, my loved ones stay at. It is paid for, and it costs me about $1500 a year in insurance and property tax (Florida Rocks). Other than that, I rent or lease my lodging elsewhere. I got over the owning shit a while ago. I find it easier to live life with no anchors. It is good to have a place to call home, but it becomes less and less necessary.

Weakness, nahhh. As I said in my last post, I have tried most everything. I like speed, and leather. I have owned Porsches, Corvettes, Ferarris, Grand Nationals, and countless muscle cars from the 60's and early 70's. I am currently driving a 2005 350Z while in the USA. Not the most expensive thing, but it is what I like currently.

Self enlightenment and learning about things that truly interest me, are what I like to do when I have time. Now that I am not educating myself for cash flow, or learning to meet some sort of test, I find learning to be enjoyable again. It was always about "You must know this to pass a test" or "You must know this to make a fortune" which turned out be to be complete bullshit.

This is a mistake many make. The women I love and am loved by, just happen to work in strip clubs. That is the job they chose, these are the clubs I hang out in. Nothing more. The clubs I go to, whether in the US or around the world, I look at differently than most people. Most people look at them as a place to go to get a lap dance. I go to them, with the mindset of, "I am going to make a new friend here or meet my next girlfriend". I was in Barcelona 2 weeks ago, and within 10 minutes I had a new friend out of the club and out on the town. It is a mindset that appeals to me and to them about me. I could type for days and most would never understand. You would have to see it for yourself. I will say this, and say it clearly, I do not spend any money in strip clubs other than drinks. When you start spending money on the girls, you are deemed a client. I am working on a book of my experiences, one day it will be finished...

My passport is getting full of stamps. I have been to: Italy, Czech Republic (5 times), Slovakia, France, Holland, Austria, Spain, Portugal, All over the USA, and all throughout the Caribbean in the past year. I have the good fortune of having girlfriends (I use the term in a different way than you think) in most of the countries. The cash really isn't an issue. If I light up $10K a month in airfare and hotels, it doesn't effect the principle or cash that is coming in.

I will post my pictures soon. I think once you see the pictures you will understand.

Fascinating

lol, your sig cracks me up

Davidd, I wonder if you read the book: The Alchemist
it really reminds me your way of life, and if you didn't I highly recomend it, I think you will enjoy it.

You list all these places and repeatedly talk about eastern/central european women, yet I don't see Hungary on that list. Some of the most beautiful women in the world there. I couldn't agree more about Czech. Prague is one of my favorite cities out of all I've been to.

Next time you're out that way, spend some time in Balaton and Budapest in Hungary. Especially when there is nice weather.

I will check it out, thanks for the suggestion.

Check out this one, for a gentle glimpse of how I am currently living: "The Sovereign Individual - Mastering The Transition To The Information Age"

One of the thing that fucks me up right now, is the governments bullshit.

I basically live freely, but about once a month I hit a brick wall and I say, "Oh yeah, I have to deal with these fucks again". Whether it be passport control, or some other tedious faceless government entity. Does not matter what country it is.

It is a shame, but I wish Dr Jason Rhino, the founder of FlashCa$h, would get involved in this conversation. As he is the person I consider as close to a brother as it gets without doing DNA tests. Unfortunately, I am the more vocal of the two of the us.

-dd

I've read it because everyone told me it's good. Indeed it's a good book but I found plain stupid repeating the ideea every 3 pages ... maybe Coleho should think about it. His other books were annoying too...

I made my first million in '97 I think.. unfortunately they weren't USD :winkwink:

Dr Rhino, was in Budapest a month ago.

My current girlfriend is from BudaPest. I have a close, close friend who is in Romania right now, and a chick who was really cool just went back to Bulgaria. How is that for Eastern Europe :)

Another chick, I had to leave on the island when I went to Europe a few weeks ago is also from Buda... Have not gotten too deep into the friendship yet, but working on it.

So needless to say, they are not on my list, but I experience their greatness daily. I have to limit my journies based upon weather. I need warmth, so most of Eastern Europe is out of the question from this point forward.

-dd

Very nice! Bulgaria is great too as long as you are on the beneficial side of corruption. A friend owned a club or 5 at some resort towns on the Black Sea. Never seen anything quite like 3 of the most beautiful women in the place all hanging over one fat old guy. Very awe inspiring, it brought a tear to my eye.

I haven't been to Romania yet, but thats on my list of places to go at some point.

While I agree about Eastern European women, there were no lack of them in Spain(Barcelona oh my), Italy, and France as well. Hungarians are my favorite so far. Last time I was there I was with a playboy model who was from the area.

*Edit: If you are looking for hot bodies and hot weather, swing down to Brazil!

your day will come my son. Your day will come lol ;)

I find the Bulgarians to be a little too stalky built for me. Really cool attitudes, and great to hang out with, but a tad too manly.

Italians, which is my heritage, I found to be great, but the country sucks. I will not get into a battle about why it sucks, but this is just my overall opinion.

French - I have access to a great number of Frenchies because of where I live. Nice bodies, great attitudes, but at the end of the day they are French :)

Barcelona - Funny you bring this up. I was there a few weeks back, finishing up my move there. I will be in Barcelona for good in the middle of January. I will be using it as my base of operations to continue my journies throughout Europe. I am sick of the trans-Atlantic flights once a month.

Romanians - I have some video of a chick I will put up soon. She was 1/2 Romanian 1/2 Kazakhstani. This hot semi-Asian look and was super intelligent. The one thing I have learned is, identify the Gypsies and run. Most of the Romanians are cool, the rest are thieves.

-dd

davidd: I'm romanian, I think your post is very objective...

Next move is to Israel :)
you'll find the mood here very tense which brings out good sex, and the girls are amazing looking.

Lots of hot Russians in Israel.

I have had the good future of being able to hang out with many people from the Middle East... All men though. Very very cool people.

I would consider Israel for visit, which I plan on doing once I am in Europe.

I have heard great things about Sharm El Sheik in Egypt, Haifa in Israel, etc.

The Middle East is on the list, I just need to figure out exactly where I am going to visit, and when.

-dd

Sharm El Sheik is amazing even though it's not in Israel, hit me up of you plan on coming over, me and my hubby will give you the grand tour :)

Just when you think a thread will just have to be lame, GFY surprises you.

Not yet for sure

Nice thread, I must say. DavidD really gives some good insight, and I'm enjoying the read. :thumbsup

pff you talking $$?

Talk £ then you are talking real money
