more than Lamborghini's?

i'm a simple guy: give me a new Audi 8

or give me, yeah indeed: knowledge

why do i always agree with you?

come on over, i should invite you for lunch
on da beach. Thursday Raymond from Holland
is coming, that should not stop you from getting
a plane ticket right now....

your life will never be the same again....ever

Raymond is so far ahead, nobody can touch him,
yet he calls me: The Mad Professor

no idea why, maybe it takes one to know one?

Thanks

Well that is the back up plan if nothing else works out. I actually figured it all out too just in case. But I really don't want to even think in that direction. I'd rather try and focus on moving ahead and not settling.

Let's put up a tent on the beach instead...

right in front of the newly opened Genius Cafe
they use the tagline: "A meeting place for entrepreneurs"

let's discuss how to make money with an iphone7 with those
boys & girls- they all look like collage graduates and sophisticated
so they would know, and help me out here in my tent...

-sent from my cosmik-debris-pokyphone9 -
automatically, without me pushing any button

Gee, l am answering this guys question, and you all talk about cars, and tents on the beach....

Worst still you lot mainly post on the OT, solid grounds for a lifetime ban, and beheading.

And also say funny things, certainly grounds for death row.

But no one has discussed ghosts or UFO's, or juggling flaming kittens so l guess that l cannot command others to obey my law, or attack everyone's intelligence, or even swear, like a rabid dog, on crack munchies.

I am depressed!

"But no one has discussed ghosts or UFO's"

let me be the first then: The ghost of a old woman with long black hair
was been seen in Nusa Dua yesterday by at least 4 eye witnesses.

I asked "so is that a true story...or just another crappolonia by girls with
too many fantasy hormones.."

someone knowledgeable replied: "thats normal here, people see ghosts
all the time.

Right, now to UFO news: There have been no sights of any ufo's lately,
its possible that they are going to other places currently because the
locals always shoot blue lasers up into the clouds at night.

Apparently to chase away rain clouds, so the tourists enjoy another
sunny day in paradise and spend money on tours, souvenirs and gifts.
No turnover at a rainy day, everyone sticks to the hotel pool, and
only the guy at the pool bar smiles and is busy.

True story, blue laser beams! dang, everybody is going high tech these days....

And you have posted on the OT, here, can't do it, and l even thankyou, WT,....

I do believe in aliens, just as long as they don't land here, then l don't, (and no one else can since, my word is LAW!

And you mentioned women again, ...you really need to reread my 10 commandments, (mods mine one, not you know) rule three, is can't mention women or juggling kittens unless you have written permission from me.

And pay me $200 in cash.

You need to take this mindless, dribble, crap, bu****s****, amm, which swearword, haven't l used) garbage to a forum where other scy choitc kitten, and women lovers, go to discuss this mindless, groan, blah, blah, blah.

Not, drunk, just blowing off some steam.

Felt like l have been in a wild west movie, where a lone gunslinger runs the town, makes the laws and sets the rules, but like all schy,.....nasty individuals he eventually hangs himself.

The internet still has a wild west aspect to it, but thankfully not here.

Well, that and Firefox totally f***up and driving me nuts, may have had something to do with it.

But lets say something happens and you're now starting from scratch. Starting over from the bottom, and it's later on in life (40+). Like how do you pick up the pieces, and how do you even know what the heck you want anymore if you do pick them up? What do you even do in your 40's anymore???

You start over - and you do it as often as you have to. What do you think people do when their businesses go bankrupt? When a fire destroys their home? When they face divorce, or lose a child or get fired from the job they've done for 20 years? What happens after a huge hurricane or tornado, an earthquake or a war? People start over.

If you are in your 40s and never faced this kind of reality before - you are lucky. Get up, dust it off, suck it in and get started all over again. You'll have more maturity and knowledge now (or should have) so use it.

True.

We all think we have it bad at some point in life until you look around and see someone else has it a lot worse.

Shit happens, do the best you can and move on.

[source]

In the 1994 movie Forrest Gump, Forrest runs into dog droppings and a man in the bumper sticker business brings it up. Forrest says "It happens," to which the man asks "What, shit?" and Forrest answers "Sometimes."

could always be worse.

"catastrophise so easily. I don't know why"

- It's because the world is in a mess - that's why - so you're not overestimating
anything. We're on the edge of big chances coming...

True, all of that first contact stuff, and holographic iphones would scare anyone.

But true, it is scary to venture out alone, forging a path, staring into the abyss, but working all of your life, then retiring and having to borrow from relatives, etc, to pay for medical costs, and house maintenance is more scary.

Maybe not you, but a lot of Aussies, have to; mainly because they overestimate their lifespan, by about 13 years.

Yep, 13 years of begging your friends and family for money for this operation, or repairing this on your house.

Or 13 years of living in a shopping centre staring at a wall, because you cannot afford heating or cooling bills.

Most people seen to live in the moment, and fill their lives with overseas travel, etc.

But their is a price to pay for that.

Best to go upstairs to the IM section and run through, "how can l make money" type posts, l am not going to repeat myself.

Yeah the price is : too much fun, and lack of negativity

but it comes back to you, today i want to have a visit at my ISP's office,
because they always kick me out when i want to post something, they
show me this:

they dont like free communication, its dangerous

but only for them and the payments they get from us
They are not safe anymore, who was it again that pays

Hey Op, you said: "Starting over from the bottom, and it's later on in life (40+). Like how do you pick up the pieces, and how do you even know what the heck you want anymore if you do pick them up?"

It's not a real problem, I'm doing it right now. If you're online you have to reinvent yourself all the time. One thing goes pop and the next shows up in an instant. And believe you me when i say:

nothing is "sudden luck". The more you work it, the more opportunities present themselves. For me right now daily more than i can handle. Have to prioritize and do only the ones i really want to do.

If i would be all melancholic about that one good thing "went pop" i would sit around and ask question like yours "even know what the heck you want anymore" - better figure that one out first, if you dont know what you want you need to retire, if that is not possible, get on a self-seeking trip around the country. Take any job along the way. Nobody stops you, except yourself.

Thanks

Seems you are kinda just getting blown around in the wind and panic is taking over.

First, clear your head of what you had before, if it's gone, it's gone.

Second, go get yourself a brick and mortar job to take care of your current needs.

Third, in your spare time, work on getting another biz going and don't even think of quitting the brick and mortar until it's very solid. Has to be something where you can do this for the long haul.

Fourth, pay close attention to what's going on and be ready to make changes where you have to do them--be ready to implement ahead of time.

Fifth, never, ever, spend all the money you make, put a large percentage away just in case life throws more rotten, moldy lemons at you and you have to start over again--except if it happens and you have money, you won't have the panic.

I would say most do, since most put into super, and p*** if all away when they retire and then go on the pension and suffer.

Security probably and going overseas, and getting married, and the other thing.

It takes big risks to make a lot online and have the rest, or stare into the abyss; most can't handle that, so a Tatts, ticket is as close as they get to wealth.

I would gladly start up a business and employ people, if it creates wealth. But work hard for 30-40 years, only to end up with 50-100k, typical super at retirement in AU, and blow it all, and go on the pension and inevitably suffer, nah, screw that!
