While they complained that I wasn't around when they were young, when they became teenagers, they realized my sacrifice to make our family wealthy and they have come to work in our business. When they started working for me, they realized even further how hard I had worked and the difficulties. It gives me great satisfaction to pass much of the management of the company to them now.
I understand what u r saying and I agree with you totally.

I am in my mid 40s and my runway, may be 10-15 years more is coming to an end. The future belongs to the young ones. To maintain an annual 7-figures income. I hv to work really hard and constantly look for opportunity to groom the next generation. My God-sons, as I do not hv any children of my own, will be joining my company soon. They will be my successor to the business and they are already appreciating why I work so hard when I was young.

Worth it?
NO!!! You can do trading while u r holding a full-time job. $120,000 is not a small amount also.

If trading can make money consistently, those big banks wouldn't have to resort to illegally manipulating interest rates and assisting in money laundering activities, and big/small whales wouldn't have lost billions of dollars.

The people consistently making profits are the trainers selling seminars and dreams to trader-wannabes.

Depending on the industry you go into, Educational Certs may mean the world, or absolutely nothing. But knowing how to sell yourself is more important than any certificate in the world.

Also i seem to notice every other page on this forum has AN UNREGISTERED GUEST who is likely a Property Agent consistently saying how everyone is rich and property prices will continue to rise, and so we should buy properties ASAP.

After reading so many postings, I can't help feeling that some of u r really over paid.

The financial industry for instance. I hv a friend who is working in this big international financial institution as a middle management purchaser and he is paid close to $20,000 per month. My question is what kind of responsibility or job scope are we talking about to justify that kind of salary? No wonder the there are so much "money" problem in the world.

To make thing worst, we hv a fleet of FT are all 40yrs+ Brits, Norwegians, Americans, Danish and Israeli PRs, about USD300-400k/annum before stock options.

Are they really that good? SERIOUSLY? Just look at US and ERUOPE... A butch of idiots who think they are above others.


I look forward to the day when a ANG-MO doing foot reflex on me and that day is not too far away. Spain unemployment rate has gone unto 24%.
