I suppose I'm the antitheses if the adult webmaster :)

When I started making decent money, I moved to a much smaller house in a less expensive area of the state, gave away everything in my old house, bought less expensive cars and kept clipping coupons and only bought ANYTHING during big sales. Even now I don't have all the furniture I need, lol!

What little investing I do is in land - buying homes to lease out is too much of a hassle, IMHO. I don't want to deal with renters and I don't want to pay someone to deal with renters. I doubt I'll ever sell in my lifetime - it's more of a something I can pass down. Though I still plan on buying a few hundred acres and plopping my little log cabin smack dab in the middle :)

I'm also supporting some family members, though a couple of them don't know it ;)

I had a g-father that died a multimillionaire and he bought and sold people as much as he did anything else. The only people that were his "friends" were those that received SOMETHING from him, be it jobs, investing capital, cash, loans, gifts, etc. And the number of "bad partnerships" he had with these so called friends was astronomical - seems like there was always someone that he was either complaining had just screwed him over, or he was bragging that he just bested. He measured his worth in how much money and "things" he had. It was a sad way to live, IMHO and money started meaning less and less as I watched.

What I consider my "fortune" is my friends. I've have some from as far back as kindergarten. There's still a group of us from high school (and it's been, ahem, a few years since I graduated ;) ) that get together 2-3 times a year. That's SO much more important to me than working 10-12 hours a day so I can make enough money to buy things I don't even need, lol!

Don't get me wrong, I LIKE money! And I like working - I'd go nuts if I didn't work. I'm comfortable knowing that I'll never go hungry and I'll always have a roof over my head. I travel frequently and have the money to buy whatever I need - but I honestly don't see the reason to HAVE more than I need. Being successful buys ME time. I'm able to go back to school and learn, able to volunteer, able to take off at a moments notice, rent a boat and spend a few days on the lake :) Very few "work" related people even know how to reach me, hehehehe. I'd rather work less and make enough to buy what I need than work more and make millions to buy more and more "stuff" But as I said, I'm the antitheses of the adult webmaster - or I'm just a freak ;)
