Don't Aim for $$$$ - Aim for Life...

    I no longer set my goals in terms of money, but in terms of what I want to do.

    I've pretty much got enough money to do that right now (if you list down what you really want to do you'll find it is often a lot less than you think), but I still try to expand my business as I enjoy it and want to open new opportunities for fun work projects and free up more of my time.

    I see a lot of people focus on being able to earn $xxxx a month, but if you sit down and think what you really want to do, a lot of the time you don't really need that much money for it.

    What do you think?

    Yeah first I used to work to increase my income but after few months I started loving online work and started working to get good ranks . My rank improved and money income automatically increased side by side .

    Yes, i can agree with the statement that WHAT you do is much more important than HOW MUCH MONEY you earn with the help of your job. Those who are doing unfavorite job are unhappy even if they have $$$$!

    What do you mean by 'quality'? Do you read books?

    When I'm playing video games, I usually aim for the head.

    Hi Chris,
    Very good advice. We would all be happier if we could learn to live in a more frugal manner. Less stress and wear and tear. I can always find someone who earns more, has a bigger house etc. than me. Happiness cannot be bought.

    Aim for life is good when you already have the money. Those who don't have money yet won't focuss on life until they have made some money to enjoy life :)

    Not looking for money. I know there's more happiness to life than that. But it's tough to remember when I look in my bank account and get very sad.

    You are so open minded and confident to do anything, only because you have enough money, as you have mentioned yourself in your comment. So infact you are contradicting yourself, honey.
    I would certainly go for money first, yes quality and other things do matter. But the stage for what you are in now, I need enough money, so I dont really agree with your thoughts :p

    Most of the people only run behind the money. I think, they doesn't spare time to spend that money. Late in the life you will get the situation that you will have money but your body will not give opportunity to enjoy it. Guys earn money but spend some time with your family and enjoy it. I am sure it will become golden moment of your life.
