I'd first get really really naked, then get really really drunk, and just take it from there

//-----

hey cindy...... would making it as a trader necessarily be a prerequisite for that.....

//----

in any event, that would be a tough dream to out dream..... but let me try.....

my simple dream starts with a simple ea that trades angles in the charts...... using the expert advisor to take 1000$ and make 50% per month for 3 years..... should have 45 billion....

then buy weyerhaeuser with a 15 billion dollar price tag.... .... then buy a fleet of these ..... turn the land into a sports mans paradise ......

should leave me about 30 billion for odds and ends......

the dream ends with my selling the ea used for 49$ on the net.......h
to trade and code, keep both simple... no call to impress....h

I'd finally quit my job, trade a little bit here and there, travel a lot and focus on staying healthy and active. I'd also give money to family so none of them would ever have to work again. If I have even more money left over, I'd buy a small private island and donate the rest to charity. : )

Cindy,

Thanks for this thread. As I cross your path on various threads on this board I think we have a lot in common - I can tell you are good peoples!

I have been reading J. Paul Getty and have learned that while during his time he was the richest man in the world, he was not the money hoarding greedy son-of-bitch most of todays billionaires are. He believed in high wages for laborers and spreading the wealth around... when he retired at 24 to become a playboy in Los Angeles, his father scolded him telling him it was his responsibility to stay in business and create JOBS and a stable lifestyle for his fellow citizens. he eventually came out of retirement and did just that.

Here is a quote from the preface of his book "How To Be Rich"

Quote
I felt that, in our contemporary society, far too much emphasis was being placed on getting rich, on amassing wealth. Little if any attention was being paid to the very important question of how to be rich, how to discharge the responsibilities created by wealth even while constructively enjoying the privileges and prerogatives conferred by it.

After all,[highlight=#ffffbf][color=#636363][font=Arial]"richness" is at...

WHEN I have enough to live comfortably and worry free I WILL travel to underdeveloped regions of the world and set up business with the sole intent of having the indigenous people of that region take over and expand the business - thus creating and expanding wealth for common people. My only mandate will be that the new wealthy repeat the process and teach others how to be self-sufficient.

I'm with you on this, but the hard part is what business are you spreading? Remember, you got to this point by being a great trader, not expanding a business. And just because you are filthy rich now, does not mean that any business you start is going to even make money, let alone spread like wild fire. You going to teach them all how to trade? Good luck with that.

I am in other business ventures as well as trading. I have been in business for myself for all but 2 years of my adult life.
