No but I wish I was and I can feel that I will soon.

[Chad Daring]

I've met a few guys who COULD be living the dream but usually get caught up in their own head. My moms Ex was in his 50s, looked like he was in his 30s, very wealthy, owned his own business, is on a first name basis with half the business owners and hotel managers on the island of Grand Cayman, but he had a sour outlook. Dude could've been living large and chill but he was very anal retentive and a complete misanthrope. If I had what he has, I'd be living like a rockstar.

On the flip side I've met guys who have the mindset and the game, but not the money or the travel.

Seems like getting two of the three is easy, its getting that third one thats the trick.

6 weeks back, i'm drinking and shooting some pool and get to talking to this guy that one of my buddies knows.

Friend, "Guess what he does"
Me, "Accountant? I-Banker?"

The dude, "I own an adult video service" - Dude owns one of the companies that serves your cable provider with those 15 door ppv flicks. We chopped it up about some legal stuff, but I was like, "dude you're living the dream".

Pulls out the iphone and shows me pics.
- quickly runs past the "work pics"
- orange lambo
- condo in DR

me, "So does it get old?"
Dude, "yeah kinda..."

So he starts talking about finding a chick and at this point nothing can impress him..and then goes on about the joy of having 2 DR chicks slob his knob. Pulls out a pic of 2 of them in asleep his bed.

Prolly one of the most interesting cats i've met. He said something about not bad for a fat Jewish kid from Long Island.

I think the closest i've had to living the dream was when some dude offered me a chance to Dj a strip club he was opening. (my GF was a stripper @ the time, and fucking with multiple strippers is no dream).

You, ya'll ever met anyone living "the dream"
- lots of chicks
- money
- international travel.

WIA

Lots of chicks - yep
Money - Nope
International travel - yep

[sine wave killer]

Yes, I know a few people in the entertainment industry (hip hop) very much so living the dream and traveling the world right now.

Until recently (the last year or two and a half) I didn't believe that it was possible to live like that off of your talent. I had dealt with so many deniers and shamers (and flat out haters) who told me I couldn't make some $ off of music. I dropped those friends/people from my life after seeing a cat I know make a stack off of a flash card. In fact this same cat actually put me on to a few heads, taught me about signing specific contracts etc but most of all I learned the power of having value and networking.

Yep - me
33 yrs old
lots of chicks - yep (I live in the DR lol) 2 chicks at same time is called (Happy Hour here in DR)
money - yep (doing nothing special, unique or exciting biz)
international travel - yep

Lambo - nope, maybe Aston Martin when I stop traveling
(but being car free is the shit)

Just curious why he pulls out a photo of Lambo, shouldnt he be driving it?? Or at least his winter car (Long Island) be just as nice?? Or was he on vacation..

[TudoBem]

I'm pretty much living exactly the way I want to. In less than 6 months I won't have any physical business presence or real estate investments in the US, and am going to be indefinitely living outside the country half the year.
Having a lambo is really stupid though. They are not comfortable cars, and to actually be able to drive them like they were intended requires a race track and training. Maserattis are the way to go if you really feel the need to drop 6 figures on a depreciating asset.
Also, being involved in the sex/adult industry will kill your game, because you will have ton of women around you who throw pussy around.
Same goes for relying on wealth to get in a girl's pants. Last words of wisdom - if you do, either get a vascetomy or make sure that you personally dispose of the condom.

[Pilgrim37]

"(but being car free is the shit)"

I couldn't agree more!
Being car free leaves me happy.

Unless you live in the boondocks a car is a drag..on finances ,on going out on the lash, when you can't drive anyways and still need to take the bus or cab.

[KingofScotland]

I like to think I live the dream for a few months every year when I'm travelling but it's for 6 months max then it's back to reality. Working on setting up something more permanent.

[scotian]

In the last 2 months I: quit my job, rented out my condo, sold my truck, cancelled my cell phone and am 2 weeks into a 4 month Caribbean/south America adventure!

I will never work more than 4-6 months a year (and still make 100-150K), especially during the winter, there's too much traveling and other cool shit to do!

The international playboy lifestyle really isn't that hard to achieve if you have a plan, work hard, and especially, don't give a flying f**k what your friends and family back home think!!!

You and TXBeachbum should show us the way.

I'm working on selling a physical product online, but it's not a sure thing by any means.

Well, it really isn't that hard, especially if you're Australian or Canada, all you have to do is move out west and get a job in the resource industries (mining, oil and gas, etc). I'm not sure about the states now (maybe someone like Ali would know better), but there are such jobs in Alaska (north slope), North Dakota (Bakken oil field) or offshore (Gulf of Mexico), the Brits can get such jobs in the North Sea.

If you're not afraid to get your hands dirty and don't mind working with some rough and tumble blue collar types, I would encourage any young guy who wants to live a somewhat "international playboy" lifestyle to get his ass onto one of these job sites ASAP.

I don't really consider myself one as such, but I do like to travel, party, chase women and don't like working all year, so this type of job makes it all happen.

Its probably not something I will do my entire life but, especially when you are young, if you do 2-5 years of hard core working like I did, you can achieve some amazing goals, I saved about 85K CASH in 2 years of camp work, I know guys who do that in a year!

[MikeCF]

I've traveled a lot.

I think its overrated.

Where I live is immensely important, and I'm living somewhere dope.

Hit a short-term liquidity event, but catching back up.

I have great friends, am in shape and get laid a lot.

Living the dream.

[Kona]

I just hung out with a guy living the dream today.

He's got 8 kids. He's taught 6 of 8 and 3 grandchildren how to fly his Gulfstream. He's a martial arts grandmaster, so are three of the kids and 2 grandkids. The rest are experts in one form or another. Imagine the time those things took to teach?

Between his kids and grandkids, he's got a whole hotel room worth of Christmas presents waiting for him. Every one has called and told him how much they love him today.

He wasn't bragging or arrogant about it when he told me all together he owns 75,000 acres of land. The next sentence he just went back to talking about his family.

Aloha!

Travel can be overrated, but the pussy conquest that comes with that is underrated.

[Luckystar]

I lived the dream for 2 epic years in Southern California. I am chasing the dream once again...

[Aliblahba]

I'm living the dream....minus the sex, porn, and alcohol.

Hip Hop

[DonovanVC]

Very subjective question, but yes.

My American professor at my study abroad program in Asia was a foreign lawyer in that country as well.

For ten years he just made money, worked (a lot), partied, drank, and smashed chicks.

A few months ago he moved to another Asian country and landed an even bigger gig.

Thats my dream too, I might be getting closer to achieving it.
