How do I spend my time? First, I will give you some background on me so you have some frame of reference. I am 39, never married, 6 ft, fit (12% body fat), average game, live in Chicago, mid 7 figure net worth, work for myself.
So generally I will put in 25 hours per week managing my investments/business. I will go out 2-3x per week and travel every other weekend, usually with a member of my soft harem (I rotate 2-3 girls)
Example week -
Sun - sleep in, lift weights, run all my errands, cook a steak dinner
Mon - up early, run, spend the day at one of my portfolio companies
Tue - investment review, workout, dinner date w/some (hopefully attractive) girl
Wed - up early, run, spend the day at one of my portfolio companies
Thu - lift weights, doctor appt, meet some friends out for after work beers
Fri - early flight to Montreal for the weekend with a girl or solo
Hope this was helpful.
On the low, one of the best posters on the forum right here.
Now, bust out some Montreal Data for the crew!

I recently read the comments section in response to an article about whether women should split the bill. One person who, if truthful, was a man, said he didn’t see the big deal in spending $100 a week on dating. Can you believe that? I don’t even think I could enjoy sex with a girl costing $100/week. That’s $5200 a year buddy! You begin putting $5200 a year into a Roth IRA at 20 earning a 7% annual return, you’ll have over $1 million at 60 and not have to pay a dime in taxes on it.
It is all relative.
You can enjoy life and drop $800 a week on dating, and get hit by a car at age 50.
Who enjoyed life more?
The guy who pinched pennies, or the guy who enjoyed life?
Also, the guy who dropped money on dating might have been doing it with a rich girl who had access to a beautiful rent-free chateau in The French Riviera (not saying this is me of course, just coming up with a hypothetical example that is totally and completely not based on me. Really it's not. I swear.)
While the guy pinching pennies stayed in youth hostels his whole life and got his Iphone stolen.
Who would you rather be?
It is not always about the amount of money you spend.
Spending money can also make you money. Many people don't grasp that concept.
(I have been actually meaning to do a thread on this.)
