How do you make money.

[Fragony]

Brosideon, are you having another midlife crisis?

You posted earlier musing about how a wife and kids would be a lackluster pinnacle to your exsistance. You should take a step back and be reminded of your position in the world, of course this is not to say "think of all the starving brown people" that's a lazy, tired cliche and I bloody well hate it. It is however a reminder that life is not some sort of hollywood adventure and even Churchill had his share of boring family dinners and drab days under the hellscape otherwise known as English weather

Money is not an escape from this. Of course being financially secure is very,very important. I don't mean not to stress that but I do mean to tell you that thinking you'll play some stocks, make money hand over fist and spend your 20s living some sort of playboy lifestyle is a pipe dream.

Now speaking as a simple man with simple tastes I can say money is not overly important to me. I want enough to provide for my family and not worry about lifes little curveballs. I don't care for flash. Granted I realize not everyone is like this and I certainly don't consider it a fault if you want the oppisite kind of lifestyle. I only mean to say that should not be the fulcrum on which your life tunrs wether you end up poor or rich. Your passions should be that fulcrum. Money is an abberation and fleeting, granted it is a powerful abberation but a lot of money is just that a lot of money. It's not happiness or comfort, success or intellegince, it's just money.

Feeling insecure at this time in your life is normal. I know you posted about money but the underlying thought in all your posts is fear and insecurity, completly normal things for a young man. I see someone who respects his parents and at least has an eye towards the future and his place in the world. I say you're not doing half bad.

You have your whole life to make a fortune and lose a fortune, I suggest you start pouring your efforts into things that matter. Money is an unfortunate prerequisite for life, not the other way around

If you make a point about not having a midlife-crisis you probably have one. Just relax, have fun. Question everything and destroy anything. Path to mercifull oblivion.
