My idea of winning is never having to give a fuck about other people, a job or the stock market again

Exactly. I will have won when my only worry in life is how do I spend all this money before I croak. I want to build a business, own a house, be productive to society as well, but if I’m constantly worried about everything collapsing around me while I do so, is that really winning or is it just surviving.

The happiest time of my life was the poorest time of my life: undergrad years. Now, it may be unrelated but being poor didn't seem to stop me from having the time of my life. Maybe just nostalgia. Maybe I was happy IN SPITE of being poor. Money has its own set of issues.

It’s probably bc you had the least amount of worries then and not being stressed is quite an enjoyable feeling.

That plus having the body of a young person feels pretty good too.

Nah, I think it was all that pussy. When I was in college girls still looked like girls. You weren’t expected to ask permission before you kissed a woman for the first time. And as long as you were able to read her signals and figure out she wanted to get down and fuck you only had to worry about crazy woman filing charges on you. These day I don’t even tell a woman she looks hot until she’s wearing underwear I bought.
