Question for the millionaires
06-18-2013, 07:52 AM
Ha yeah my view points are becoming increasingly extreme and fly against the grain even on the RVF which i consider a group of logical people. It is what it is though. Gotta search out new people at all times or else we resort to a life of complacency. No interest in that.
So far I've goosed in finding what I'm looking for over the past month. I'll find it though, always do.

Question for the millionaires

The Gmanifesto is conspicuously absent here. To be fair, he never claimed to be rich. He merely claimed to wear expensive clothes, dine, and flash wads of cash.
In rare cases, people will retire early and get bought out. But usually you want a gradual transition. If you can save a lot of money then you probably can earn more because you are skilled and enjoy your work. A million might seem like a lot. But it would be hard to live off it if you are accustomed to earning half a million per year.
Anyway, most people scale back. They continue to work at peak season, keep their best clients, or consult. They may get a cheap convenient vacation home, but also get a roommate and scale back fixed expenses. No more country club, new car, expensive gym, or cable TV.

Yeah see that's not at all what I am looking for. I want to find someone who made cash, has game and doesn't increase his expenses.
Basically I am looking to better myself.
I finally got my expenses below $3K a month, and my income is looking to double shortly. Somehow my notch count has also doubled. So I got no interest in lifestyle/cost inflation or working for anyone for that matter ever again. So I have to wipe all those people off the table for general life advice.
If I am a thirsty ass dude at 30 or broke that will be an utter failure.
I realize I am coming off as a cocky ass mother fucker at this point (more so than usual) but I don't care and am looking for someone who has it all locked up on an even higher level. The day I spend more than $200 on pussy is the day I may as well resort to prostitution because it's cheaper. This is why everyone goes abroad, you can get better girls with less cash so spending money on American chicks is downright laughable (opinion).
Also the gmanifesto already said he's a millionaire and I believe him. I look to him for money making advice, not really life style control advice.
Again I'm fishing for more ideas and my viewpoints continue to go hard against the grain on my old views (for better or worse). Searching for ideas that are not found by studying average millionaire success stories. So far I got one from this thread.

Ha it's funny though what I just outlined above sounds like bullshit but it's not, I've basically constructed my life through a combination of various personalities I've met.
Look at samseau and gio, they don't spend shit to get laid so why can't I? I adopted this mindset and never drop real cash on getting laid.
Then I just read up on HH's posts and the Gmanifesto and realized well why can't I just take their money making advice but not take their lifestyle advice. They obviously have money and do well with chicks so I'll pull the more important part out of their posts, money.
Of course I did this with real life contacts as well. but you get the idea since I am citing forum members, just strip out the best part of a solid person and apply it to your life. It works.
Want to get rich? Take money advice from rich dudes.
Want to get girls without dropping cash? Take advice from guys who are getting chicks without dropping cash.
You don't have to take all of one person's advice just combine to become the enigma you want to be.
I like all of the posters I just mentioned here, I just don't agree with all of their opinions on life. I strip out what I believe to be their best quality zero in on that and then move on to find another good source.
I'll be the first to admit, I am practically dead for ideas as of now. I need to find someone A) spending less or B) making more while also not expanding that expense line. This was my backwardass way of trying to track down a different unique thought process

I read an interview-book of 100 millionaires and their way to prosperity... The general advice they gave was "don`t focus on earning money, focus on your interest/what you like doing" I believe that to a certain extent, because in the end it`s your idea that will give you money, not the money-hunger itself.

Where did Gmanifesto claim to be a millionaire? He plagiarizes and gives bad business advice. Listen to people who were creative about making money, not people who lie, inherited money or got lucky.
It is basically simple: earn more without increasing expenses. Too many people get caught up in the rat race. Just let your income grow faster than your expenses by living one step behind your income. Read
The Millionaire Next Door. It is not sexy or glamorous, just frugal.
Not everyone agrees. Andrew Fashion got lucky with search engine placement for a Myspace helper webpage, but didn't understand the reason for his success. He broke the web links, lost his income stream, and spent all the money.

Unless you get bored easily you don't need advice on how to live your life with money. One friend made millions off a simple banner printing program back in the 1980's. He bought a nice townhouse in San Francisco with a boytoy roommate and holds gay sex parties. You could travel or build whatever social scene you want. Really, I don't know what specific lifestyle advice you want. How to live cheaply near airports? How to get pet-sitters? Hobbies to fill your leisure time, like Scrabble and Shuffleboard?

I will try to find the thread. The quote was something along the lines of:
"I'm a millionaire with a seedy past - that's pretty much me" but I don't really care if he's a millionaire or not my point is I'm looking for a new high level challenge. The best way to find said challenge is to ask those guys who are killing it much harder than me. Again I believe anyone at face value who is willing to divulge what they do with free time.
Yeah I've already read that book.
I'm basically searching for a new challenge/fishing pool that doesn't involve sitting around doing nothing. I don't believe in "retirement" since as soon as your net income from investments exceeds your expense line you're basically done.
So I fucked up in phrasing the original post.
What is your next "major theme" once you no longer have to check your bank account on a daily basis.
Or in another phrase "what are you building/working towards?" once you hit that level of freedom.
So far we got charity + reading

Guys with a lot of money aren't going to make it public, even on a private forum, as many of us have met enough people in real life to not be anon. There aren't any real advantages to telling people that you're a millionaire.

Fair enough. You can always fake your identity quickly on an Internet forum. Example: just have a few meet ups and send a friend in your place. Not that hard to wipe your identity off the table.
I just run a hypervisor to make all my posts appear from the same IP. But I guess that's fair.
Don't even care if the dude has zero rep points. I'll straight up assume he is not trolling.
But f-it sds like a lost caus

WC, you will still need to keep your mind stimulated even if you retire early. I don't see myself ever fully retiring. I do love what I do. I was born to create stuff. One of the reasons I got into art at an early age. It doesn't take much to keep you busy but you have to do something or you will start spending money just because you are bored. What that is will be more up to you and your interests bud. I don't know why you need a mentor to figure out what you want to do when you have more free time.

My phrasing is shit. Basically, the intent is more on the lines of, how are you continuing to improve your life?
That's the best I can phrase it. If you don't need any more cash and don't need any game help the only thing left to do is basically help people and do your own hobbies. Or am I missing something.
I don't hate my job at all, I don't love it I just show up am decent at it and go home. So that's pretty much purgatory.
The reason I pose this, is the wealthy guys I am surrounded by have negative game, get bitch slapped by the wife all day and go to day care events. I have no interest in a wife or kids ever in the future. So I am basically turning to a bunch of guys who are likely players to see what they are doing to improve their lives every year. I would be bored to tears doing nothing.
To give some color most people on the street just stay to "build a legacy". But lol @ them because no one cares about their legacy, so I am not about to do that either.
I guess I am just spinning wheels, but still interested in hearing how people are continuing to improve.

Exactly what i mean. Complacency sucks so... What are these guys doing for a full 16 hours. That's a long time. Generally I only have 40 hours a week to work on personal stuff... If you gave me 90 hours I have no idea what I would do.
Again I came here for the question because most guys got zip for game and zip for personality so this seems like the right spot to ask.

^ I wouldn't trip about that too much just have random meet ups with forum members and send a friend with a similar profile as you. Use the exact same name and give them the same story etc. You can wipe away your ID very fast.
Hell if I wanted to I could log into this account from 75 locations world wide right now then snap skim my own SSN and have all my cards locked down for identity theft that I self created because purchases are being made in... 75 locations simultaneously. If you're smart you can immediately wipe all your information off the table in five minutes with the right friends.
The most you will lose is the $$ in your pocket that day. If you're real nuts you just carry a switch blade as well but that's generally overkill.
