Does money matter?

Does money matter?

Thanks Vicious. I always love others' perspectives on things. I think if you are a generally content person, than, 'yes" money is a good thing. Now there are many people that turn to 'things" in hopes of fulfilling a void, or maybe healing pain, only to find that it is just a short lived fulfillment of happiness. Sounds like you are in a great place and this is a great thing!

I think you're right. It's a fine line. There are things money could not replace like my boys. But money does help in a sense that I can give them a lot of experiences I couldn't without money. Money is not everything for sure but in today's world it helps to have.especially with the price of things these days. I live in cali and it's sad that many people my age can't buy homes and love check to check. It's pretty rough now a days. And we still live better than most the world even when we struggle. Growing up we didn't have a lot of nice things and I never want to tell my kids they can't do something because I can't afford it

Pretty much the same way my Fuzo thinks. He always wants to give more to our daughter than he had. Its about balance, although we give, when they stop appreciating and expecting...thats where we get back in check. You sound grateful and that is what its about

Thank you. That picture is actually during a team game. It was mom and my brother vs pops and I. It was one of the best weekends I've had in a while. My wife and kids were inside watching movies. That fine line. Money didn't buy the happiness but it helped provide the setting. Man I love Arizona I want out of cali

Oh money can buy happiness! But in Iggy case if he doesn't get home till kids are asleep that's sucks I did it for 10yrs. I made great money bought lots of toys as well. But last 5yrs I had zero time with kids. For 3 months straight I worked like this 48 hr in 2 days then slept like 2hrs then did another 20hrs etc etc. would face time kids every night but it's not the same. All the primetein tabs and lack of sleep I eventually lost my mind. I made great money but not worth the time I lost with family. Now back in 2009 I worked like that for 4 months but that was different I knew it was short lived and only 1 kid at home. I bought a custom home on 5 acres, a chopper, sport bike couple of dirt bikes and I had time to enjoy them.

Re: Does money matter?

It all depends upon your needs, wants, and what you're content with. If you're content with the time you get to spend with the wife and kids; then do that, if you're content on chasing that almighty dollar; then do that. It's about what you want in your heart. It's a big balancing act brother. There's no correct answer here...

Re: Does money matter?

I think you already made a decision IG! I agree!

Re: Does money matter?

I think that money can not buy happiness, it can buy things is a good summation.

after all when you are controlled by your things, then you are un happy.

All I say is make sure it is worth what you are giving up, from the sounds of it you are loosing a lot .
the cash better be pretty good ...and to be honest from the sounds of it is not worth it.

Actually you are making me rethink a few things , right now I work from home, and I do a little stock trading on the side
well the stock trading is getting to the point to where I can almost give up the regular job.
A high up manager at my company is demanding all tech support come into the office ( right now I don't even have one assigned to me)
anyhow if I go into the office that is a 1/2 hour each way, and forget about trading stocks in the office. ( too much yappin)

Right now because I didn't think I made enough trading stocks I have agreed to come in for now, of course I don't have an office and it is not until the first of the year. But looking at my trades, I am really close .I think I could possible do trading full time .( well it is not all day so less that full time.) I think I may force the hand, either let me go and let them wonder if I will file a possible law suit for wrong full dismissal or live me working from home.
ie deal with MF'ers

Ifbyou can pay your bills save for retirement and jave some extra to do some homg that is all you need. Inused to love my job but heing a lead expected to out perform others and our company going stupidbwith reorganization the money is all that keeps me around because i have tonprovide for my family. I guess what I am saying is as long as you can provide and are happy then no money doesnt matter all that much.

Re: Does money matter?

Bro I was going to give you a long answer, but shit you can text me anytime. hahaha! The short version is, Money DOES matter! Big Hoss pretty much nailed it though. What type of lifestyle do you want to live plays a huge part in it...Im old school where I believe I should be working non stop, and coming from being homeless at 16 with no fam, that fear of ever being in that situation drove me to where I am today...I always set goals..wether it be X in the bank ( and safe), Type of home, vehicles, Type of vacations, etc....I have never settled and dont ever see myself not making new financial goals for myself...Always set the next goal way higher...

Everyone has different outlook on where they are happy financially. I know for a fact I would never ever dreamed that I would be where I am now, which I am very blessed and humbled I have gotten here so far. But I am no where near done killing it, no pun intended, IG knows what I do for one of my companies. hahaha. Also figure out what you want to lay out for the kiddos when they get older, which you got some cute kids bro! For my I never want my kids to ever "need" anything, I want them to be driven and want the world, just never be in a spot where they "need" and I cant provide. With $$$ many doors open, if anyone says different they have no idea what they are talking about...Trust me I have gotten many contracts due to the people I know and live around..But lastly no matter how far you make it never forget where you came from, and always stay true to yourself. Your going to do great brother!

Re: Does money matter?

I think every agrees ...you start with the necessities ..house, food ,clothes, healthcare ,retirement...

after that is up to you to judge what you want , and that is a opinion.

personally I would never want a boat .just my idea of success
I don't want a pool, i would rather have a garden, again that is me...

So given a choice of working close to home or traveling an hour each way... well that is Iggy's choice

Re: Does money matter?

I would rather have an unlimited supply of free gear.
