In school, when a teacher assigned a book to read, it was never as fun to read as a book I read on my own, even when the assigned book was a book I'd otherwise enjoy. I think a lot of life is like that. Somehow, it's always more fun to do the things you're not supposed to be working on at the moment. I want to live my life by choice rather than compulsion, and I don't want to wait until I'm 65 to do it. I want the freedom that money affords while I'm still young enough to enjoy it.
Retirement is wasted on the old.
My ideal job would be to dream up cool ideas and then send somebody else out to implement them. Maybe after I cash out, I'll set up a think tank or a venture philanthropy fund. It refers to the good old days when cash was flowing and the living was easy. When the fat days come, all the people gonna dance and sing. Well, that's who I am and what I'm all about, insofar as words on a computer screen can convey a sense of personal identity.
