What problems do you have? Be honest too guys. Do you have any problems or worries? I really want to know because I'm in a situation where I'm working to achieve that type of lifestyle and want to hear of potential problems I might not have thought of.
Recently, after reading the whole Eckhart Tolle Power of Now, I've been doubting what it is I'm really working for. Because it seems everytime I accomplish something that I thought I wanted, it ends up presenting a whole new set of problems I didn't anticipate. Be careful what you wish for and/or what you are working for. Here are some of my examples.
1) I've been in real estate for 15 years, having worked in both US and Asia, loans, residential sales, commercial sales, asset management. Worked hard and studied hard to be a broker, develop connections and learn the shit that I know and I might lose it all over a single bad deal where the seller lied about the property (drug dealing, lack of license). My buyer client is going to sue him but my business partner who has referred me a lot of biz ended up being a dick to him and now he might sue us.
2) It used to be my fantasy of hooking up with and dating a model. Well, after I actually started dating one a few years back, she was always busy, we only saw each other once a week at most, she was on a crazy Coke soda and salad diet so eating out was always a chore and just wasn't a fun relationship. Sex wasn't bad, but wasn't great either. Ended up being needy and we broke up after a few months.
3) I used to want to make a lot of money and live in Japan. I actually had a fat job but I was also working 10-12 hour days 5-6 days a week. I gained weight for the first time in years in only a few months due to sitting around a lot. Bullshit work hours as the last 2-3 hours were spent "pretending" to work as that's common in Japan. And then, I was stuck on a subway for a minimum of an hour going to and from work. Subprime crisis happened so job didn't last but due to experience, never want to live that lifestyle again. What good is making bank if you're spending most of your life energy without even being able to enjoy the moment.
4) Found a good girl who actually wanted to marry me. Sex was great in beginning but later, I got bored. She didn't like to party or go out much. I ended up cheating on her many times and later breaking up with her for 5)
5) Found a girl who I actually wanted to marry. Why?? Sex was great. She had ass, titties, let me fuck her in the mouth, wore sexy skirts and heels, exactly my type. Fucked in crazy public locations (in car), had similar passions and interests, traveling, music, etc. Unfortunately, she was still finding herself and decided I wasn't the one so broke up with me. I ended up being needy and depending on her for my happiness (yeah I admit it) so when I lost her, took me a few months to re-group.
6) Wanted to be single for awhile and play the field. When you're in a relationship, it seems like almost every hot girl you pass by is an opportunity lost. Well, for the last few months, I've been single and it's felt like sales and a lot of work as you gotta follow up with chicks via text, calling, etc.. Or hit up the clubs but unless you got logistics and/or in a environment where there's better girl to guy ratios, it's challenging to pull. And those logistics COST MONEY. I'm talking twice the rent to have a decent place near the nightlife, high costs of gas, car maintenance, etc. Dates, even cheap dates, cost money, time and energy, and if you're working, can be tough.
So yeah, to summarize, my gameplan has been to be location independent making decent coin in one of the typical countries that are great for guys but not sure if that scenario will also present some problems.
Thanks in advance
