-- Another gay advice thread...but mine's a little different
Pages (3): « 1 2 [3]

fuck not even to mention that ur whole goal in life, ur total focus has to be on ghetting rich and you have to ask the right questions. and the right question isnt how am i going to be the richest man on this planet. You think bill gates asked that question? no. he asked himself the right question. How am i going to get microsoft into every single computer out there? thats most likely the question he asked himself. im sorry but you have to have the right frame of mind in order to be rich or successful. and if you dont have that frame of mind and you dont have the luck to back it up, your going to be a pawn like everyone else.


so its great that you guys want to be successful, but that isnt good enough. instead of worrying about how you spend your mnoney why dont you worry about how to bring your ambition to the next level? why dont you worry about making your first move?





edit: but i just reread the original post and i went on abt something else that doesnt totally relate. tho its a good lesson to learn. you want to know how to stop spending? have a financial goal. you want to save up this much by the end of the month, and u try to reach that goal every minute of every day. <---best advice i can give you

YAYYY MEEEE!!!! but this isnt a direct attack on jamie..this is an attack on every singlke person out there who claims or expects they're going to be rich you want to know what it takes to be rich? get someone to drown you and right before u pass out they take ur head up above water. U got to want it more then that breath of air. thats what makes people rich. thats what ambition is.

well definee what u mean by rich do u mean the 100k salary figure or the 200k salary figure or the millionaires...i mean for each one its different..

well tell u the truh 100k isnt rich anymore.. im speaking abt in the millions. thats being rich. being wealthy on the other hand u need serious coin. serious coin as in the next 4 generations of your family are set for life. i consider professional sports players rich not wealthy.

Smoke weed,that will keep you busy instead of going to the mall..
but on the other side there is the thing with the food..

well if you mean in the millions than yea it is waaaay too hard in todays age..all the good ideas r taken,the competition is high so being a millionaire needs alot of effort and help..a 9 to 5 wont do it even if u r a VP or something..but i dont think thats what jamie had in mind..i think she meant more as to be financially stable and comfertable..

Damn it, i thought i was going to be giving advice on how to be gay.

well if you're a hustler with no education, maybe that's how you should go about it. but i think most of us are just working a dumb job now that gets the bills paid while we go to college. it's not gonna happen over night...at least not for me. in the meantime, i just wanted to get tips on how to resist the temptation to spend my money, because when i graduate college and i have a career, i won't be able to save or get anywhere unless i start working on this problem now.

yea 100k is nothing... and it depends on what part of the country you live in too. in NYC 100k a year is like average/below average.

most people that own large corporations are hustler with very limited education lol.


but i dont want to make millions if thats what ur getting at. i want to be involved or start something thatll change the world. id do it for nothing if i could. but i cant because i know of no worthy movements and i wouldnt know where to begin. I was just trying to give you some insight.

and i what i said in my previous' posts dont just go for money. it goes for everything in life. unless u want to work in an office for 30 g;s a year. well then sure u dont really got to be motivated in order to do that. but if u want to be wealthy with alot of spending cash u got to be willing to be the best at whatever u do. and that takes some serious commitment and some serious ambition

no i think i'll be extremely happy in my career. i'm not just aiming for money. i'm too principled and i have to be doing something i'm passionate about. i'm very people oriented and i work great under pressure and i'm extremely creative. so i think an advertising executive is a very suitable career for me. i can just see myself doing that. will i be a multi millionaire? probably not. i'd sure like to try to make a million in this lifetime...even if it means i'll be investing in real estate on the side to get to that point.

my boyfriend made the mistake of chosing a career just for money. he could give two shits about people's health and backs. all his patients are just trying to get a buck anyway, suing insurance companies from dumb car accidents. lol he cares about working less and making more. he's not the happiest in his career. well today he made partner, so that's better, but still. he'd rather be golfing, collecting a check every month like his boss who owns all the clinics...so i guess that's his goal...and he's extremely driven and smart, so i'm sure he'll accomplish that goal in less than 5 years.


and people who own large corporations aren't huslters...it's the small business owners who are...

Going to therapy is expensive, so if you're looking to curb your spending I wouldn't recommend it. Most therapists don't actually try to solve your problem, either: if they fix it you won't keep coming back.

You're going to have to learn a little self discipline if you want a successful career, so you may as well get it over with as soon as possible.

sorry babe i know wayyyy too many people that'll prove that line wrong. from small business owners to corporate owners.


i dont know if u ever heard a company named royal plastics. this company company is plastic monster, worldwide. they basically own the market or at least once did. my godfather owned a large portion of it and he sold it when it the company reached its peak. the man is worth millions and millions and millions of dollars. its not even funny. but before he owned that company he was a nobody, with a highschool education. now the owner now, Vic Desin, this man is worth in the billions. he has casino in the caribean he owns all of royal plastics and he never made it passed grade 9. this is only an example for you. but alot of huge corporations are just like this.


However, you also got to remember this was a different era. they were brought up and raised during a different time. When any man could come to north america without even knowing the language and blow up. This world no longer exists in todays world. which i personally think is bullshit. but thats the way it is

Originally posted by Slylee no relationship advice needed. ok, so i think i have a problem with managing money...no that's a lie, i DO have a MAJOR problem managing money. it's an addiction and i can't stop spending. i'm sure it has to do with impulsiveness. anyway, is it gay to go to therapy about it? lol it really worries me because i plan on being extremely successful and rich, but you have to be smart about money to be those two things. Do you guys have any tips to help me stop spending? I don�t know what to do. Even though I know I have a few bills to pay, I still HAVE to have that pair of shoes or those jeans. Yesterday I sent my boyfriend balloons (flowers would have been gay) and it was like $40! I definitely don�t have $40 right now, but I still did it. I was like oh who cares. that�s bad.

You're not alone buddy, I too have an enormous spening problem,I just can't save money. Once i've tried hard to not to spend and save up some money, but I just have to go out ther and spend it all. Yes it's like an impulse at the time you're buying I just do it for the fuck of it but regret later, for expample if im at home with some $$ and im hungry i have to go out and spend the money to get some grubz even though there's food at home and after i spend all my money, i'm like why the fuck did i just do that, it was on some worthless shit like food, alcohol, and clothing...

and yes you're gay if you go to a therapist!!

Just like me quitting cigarretes cold turkey, be a man and quit wasting your $ on your b/f and rather save it up on car or a dildo, etc. maybe even save it up on buying me some ribs, that'll be worth using your money on.

I've been poorer than dirt in my life. Lesson learned is don't buy anything you can't afford and do so by not, I repeat not, buying on credit. Some things like a house or car (spend within your means here as well) are unavoidable, but the shoes, sofas, stereos, etc. need to go. That's not to say you can't buy the shoes, sofas, stereos, etc., but what I mean is that you buy the same item without the brand name or buy them of a lesser quality. You still have the item, but not the best in the world, but that's OK because you in fact have them. I just bought a couple cars this year and haven't done so in the last 15-20 years, so I could afford to do so. The other cars were OK, but not what I wanted, but I knew I could get what I wanted by saving and waiting for the moment. I'm just an old fart so take me for what I'm worth, but I'm just now opening up the buy syndrome to enjoy life because I can really manage my income and savings effectively. I'm not going to be the richest man in the graveyard, and will spend wisely from here on out to enjoy life more. But, for you young bucks, you need to spend wisely as well, meaning you need to sacrifice now to enjoy a better life down the road. I can't believe this generation can't endure the sacrifices us old guys suffered through.

Tension ft Julie Harrison - Lost in You (Misja Helsloot Mix)

whenever you finish paying a card, cut it. Thats my best advice.

Keep at least one with a 500$ limit, in case of emeregencies.

Only 7 years? I need to buy camera shit. ASAP. I think IO'm gonna go get a few credit cards...

haha buy a dildo, haha i thought girls were smart enough to know about that, hahaha

but yeh slylee u need to work HARD for it, like what vivid boy said, if u want to be rich. and about 100k average in NYC? no way...

and yeh you gotta control your spending, even if u DO become rich in the future, your spending will just increase, doesnt matter how much u earn, if u have no self control, the money will be gone sooner than you think

and u are also wrong assuming they all have qualifications, but of course the chances of making in THAT big are much less these days but its not impossible. the richest man in australia, kerry packer, did not finish high school and could not write, look at where he is now. he makes 1 million dollar bets a hand on blackjack

haha and your bf spendin like you as well, maybe its his influence on you making u lose control, haha

so in the end, u have to realise, not everything is so simple in life, who doesnt want to be rich? look at how many people are actually rich,work HARD for it,

It's around 25K actually according to the report released last month.



Now in regards to your spending you must try and not get close to the things that tempt you. I think that's really the best way to go about it....
I personaly know I have issues with buying dvds ( 150+ purchased in around 2~3 years ) and I've forced myself not to go into stores that sells them and that's really cut down on my habit!
