You know what's also a good tip? Taking a job that pays you a bit less, but makes you a lot happier. I don't think anyone here has done that. If anyone has, drop the story.

Real shyt. Believe it or not, I was making 106k last year working a wierd rotating shift. Weekends and holidays included :no: I switched to a job making 85k. I haven't work a weekend, holiday or 40 hours since I've been here.

Stop caring.

Honestly jus stop giving a fukk. Stop caring what your parents think, what your friends think, what the coli thinks :jawalrus: , jus go out there and define yourself.


The biggest misconception of life to me is when people say. You got to "Find Yourself" .... no nikka. Life is about defining yourself..."turning your thoughts into physical manifestations and shyt. Making your dreams into reality"

yeah post that​

"We’ve bought into the idea that education is about training and 'success', defined monetarily, rather than learning to think critically and to challenge. We should not forget that the true purpose of education is to make minds, not careers. A culture that does not grasp the vital interplay between morality and power, which mistakes management techniques for wisdom, which fails to understand that the measure of a civilization is its compassion, not its speed or ability to consume, condemns itself to death.”

Think about all the money you ever made going back to your first job :leon:

Now look at how much you actually saved :to:

That's the first step....

Stop wasting your time reading "how to get rich books." You're the reason the authors are rich.

lol, this is true.

Keys to success:

-Get into a top 20 PWI or top 3 HBCU
-Major in something quantitative
-Get top grades
-Do as many professional internships as you can

This should at least take you to six figures a few years out of college, if not your first year should you do something in high finance (asset management, banking, sales and trading, pe, hedge funds). I'm still figuring out how I can get to 7 figures, but it probably involves a combination of more education (an MBA in my case), achieving promotions, saving, and investing my earnings into some sort of business.

I would rather be "broke" and be able to relate to women w/o paying for their time, to be honest. Theres not much more important than forming good + meaningful relationships with people. Thats a form of success too.

I'd say that you need to be willing to learn, know how to learn, and understand what level you are at. If you don't know what l]evel you are at, you might try to act like the shyt, when realy you need to be listening. And not only do you need to be willing to learn when you don't know, you're gonna need to be able to seperate the bullshyt from the facts.

I'm starting to feel like this more and more everyday. I help people(family, friends) out a lot and I'm barely getting a thank you out of mothafukkas let alone a return of a favor. You got to do you. Nobody gives a fukk anymore
