If you tell me where to get average 10% return safe investment. I'd give you $2K finders fee.
dont believe me? check historical price on yahoo or google. dividend has been about 9% a year.

we're splitting that right? 
5%-10% whatever. if you're smart you can live off the interest, that was the point. i'd rather live modestly and do nothing, than do something hard for stuff.

Money buys hapiness. Option number one.
And mathematically, the ratio of money to job satisfaction is a lot higher with option one.
And no one is 100% satisfied with their job. Being 80% satisfied is pretty damn good.

I guess its also what you want. I want luxuries and for life to be easy when I get older, plus I want my kids to be taken care of. This is why I work hard. Its my own preference though. You need to make your own decision.

If you have friends around you who are rich, you would notice they are also like most of us here who are only able to save very few from their earnings due to all the expenses.
To make the most of your higher earnings you need to live like someone on low earnings but then how many people would do that?
