{quote} Nope, not much traveling. My first commercial plane flight was 2008 & haven't been since. Not much for TV either. Just a futon in the living room. No dining table so If you stop by for lunch bring a chair & table . You better bring your own food to as I eat for about $5/day so not much to chose from.
Don't worry. I'll eat whatever served the hospital meals taught me how to have a good appetite even if the food sux ... and I'm sure yours is better than this lousy meal I get here ... but I'll bring some beer that's for sure

Swimming and biking are great but unless you're in competitive sports it doesn't pay bills. And even then..... if you're good enough..... you make money....

I think the guy's answer was simple ... Never wanted to be rich + doing what's enough to not be a street side begger ... and nothing is wrong with that I assume ... I myself would never mind taking night shifts in a charity hospital for free although my hospital offers 800+ for that night stay. Simply because I'll be happier there and I have tried both. And like Cindy said in the thread started earlier today whatever you throw to the world you get it back so I throw my service to get happiness and Mr. Str do the same ...

{quote} I think it depends on how you define "Rich" ... because for me for instance rich is being rich inside like mentally. Like in my field if I read a lot of researches about a certain rare illness then some years later I was able to help someone get better. In that day I'll feel that I'm richer than Bill Gates. It's the soul satisfaction that really brings happiness to our hearts. Of course this goes by bringing some food to the table to survive you know
OK.... I understand that. You feel good inside (about what you do) and that's very admirable. HOWEVEr, are you
really willing to translate that into living a life like Mother Theresa http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mother_Teresa

I doubt it. Otherwise you wouldn't be trading. I would imagine that you want to trade for some sort of
financial gain. Otherwise, why would you be here?

It doesn't "have" to be millions but to say that "the money doesn't matter" is just ludicrous

No intention whatsoever to live like her. It's really hard. Living like that takes a very high level of inner peace that's really hard to get to. And btw I'm in the trading game because I love it. It's my nature I love to win so I can't find a competitive game running without getting in and competing. Speaking of the money I think No. I really don't need extra money for anything. It's really because I love it Man

Money is only a means to achieve what I want to get accomplished in life. I have no desire for the "money". I "need" to pay the bills so money is the means by which I'll get this done. If money would bring me happiness, I'd still be in my first career. You get to a time in your life when you start asking yourself "What purpose do I serve in this world?" Sure, I could go on living, paying the bills, biking, etc, etc..... but what am I accomplishing? There's a void inside when you're not doing something to make "others" happy. I'll trade to pay the bills but my goal is to make enough to help others. True "happiness" won't come by just paying the bills & living a relaxing life.

Yeah, that's all good..... and how long do you think you
could stay in the trading game if you consistently lost ?
Would you deplete your life savings ? Would you end up
old and without help?
You might not need anything now but..............

That doesn't matter really, but if you think "no, money doesn't matter"
then why don't you commit here and now to donate every penny that

you ever make in FX to some charity?

Fair enough ?

If I consistently lost I'd always come back with demo accounts to test myself again and again till I win. And I don't have live savings yet and I don't think I'll have any ... sadly every serious penny I made in the Fx market is really little and what I made in the options market is being used to pay for the med school remaining loans. But I can commit that whenever I find someone in need and I've extra dollars of course I'll help. N.B. Extra here means that I don't need it for food, Gas or the regular bills.

Sadly, demo accounts don't pay bills. And to say that is really useless (IMHO) and specifically regarding
your own thread.

"and I don't think I'll have any". So are you absolutely convinced? If so you're defeating yourself. I can tell
you I've been in much worse situations.

You seem like a good dude. Be careful who you help 'cuz when it takes away from you and yours......
it will end badly. Just my experience.

But really..... it seems that you're asking not so much "do millions matter" but more like
"why am I not getting anywhere" ??

Not sure if you are talking about, A] do we even need the things we think we do, or B] we can do the things we would like with less money; perhaps both, nevertheless i'll address the former. Today (and most of the time) i find myself incredibly content, i have very little desire, and most of the time no desire, for the common pursuits of society. Wealth, possessions, social status, entertainment, travel etc etc may come into my life, yet i do not seek them. To many this will sound painfully boring. But it isnt. If it were boring then it wouldn't...
