Hey guys,
I'm unsure as to if this should be on the lifestyle section of the board or the game section--- I believe it applies to both.
I remember months ago reading a post by Hank Moody (I really enjoy his posts and resonate with them) talking about how his degenerate friends typically have more fun and pull more tail than his so called "successful" friends (in terms of wealth).
Ironically, I've been thinking the same things over the past few years while attending parties all the time and having a pretty low maintenance lifestyle where I could go chase tail and party without consequence. It's been fun and I've enjoyed it; but i've been offered a pretty big position with a salary that would result in a very large lifestyle change.
This is awesome news and i'm very excited; however, part of me feels like I will lose my edge or the fun i've had (success with women) and come off as a provider who works all day--- not the fun playboy I (used to be?) am now.
Deep down, I know this is a great move professionally and to grow as a person....
but my question is - - - How does one go about handling this sudden and dramatic increase in income and lifestyle but not be seen as the super responsible beta provider type?
I'll be in the public eye so I won't be able to get away with the shinanegans of yesteryear; so i'll be a completely new man...
This is not a humblebrag but a legitimate question to those who have made a transition like this - - - Perhaps it will be an overflowing positive?! I know i'm missing something...I'm most likely just nervous. I've just had so much fun being a degenerate... but I think it's time that Peter Pan grew up.
Sadly, I can't think of anyone (or anywhere) better suited to help address these issues than the fellas here at RVF.
