My advice to younger people about money and work

Look here is My advice. Time is the most important thing that We have and its more valuable than money because money is infinite where as Your time has a set determined point when You die. When You accept a job You accept to sell Your limited time for a currency that is infinite and loses 3% to 6% value each year. So if Your going to sell Your time do it for the highest bidder because once spent You can never get that time back. Now take that idea further and realize that when You buy a house that once You pay it off You could have bought two or three houses once the compound interest has been paid. If You buy a car with a loan then You could have bought two cars. Also You need to learn what happiness is and how money doesn't buy happiness but it can only help to achieve happiness. True happiness is finding that special mate, having children, and building a home. Notice home is not the same thing as a house. A home is that sanctuary filled with love where You can seek refuge from this cruel world. Now back to the family the deal is You just can't meet someone and then go out to a field and hang out because You will eventually starve so You need to live. To live You need money and to get money You need to work. Now work in essence is trading Your time AWAY FROM YOUR FAMILY SO SOME RICH ASSHOLE CAN SPEND MORE TIME WITH HIS FAMILY. So in conclusion sell Your time wisely and spend more time with family because in the long run family is important and money is just a tool to be used.


Take My advice to heart and I'm speaking from experience. I spent My youth chasing money while working in the offshore oilfield. So I literally traded DAYS and MONTHS away from My family for a good paycheck. I didn't get to go home at night because I was offshore on a boat making My family money. I worked 9 months out of the year meaning I worked a 2 month on 2 week off schedule for the majority of 24 years meaning I sacrificed everything. I lost My family due to a cheating spouse and believe Me My biggest regret in life is watching 17 years flushed down the toilet knowing My time would have been better off spent at home making love to the woman I loved instead of chasing money. You will come to realize as You get older that money is worthless and in the end love and children are what really matters. The best thing You can do is learn a reasonably paying trade and live a simple life without all those fancy new toys because believe Me those toys become old and then You will realize it wasn't worth it that Your time would have been spent better by having a bonfire party with friends and family or pursuing a hobby in art or music. I know when Your young You don't think about these things but when You get old You will regret all the bad decisions and the most regretful ones are those that hurt Your family.

My advice to some young kid bitching about His low paying job and His asshole of a boss. These are My thoughts and if it helps someone whom is young to not have regrets as He gets older then My so called wisdom helped someone to not make the same mistakes I made.
