When I Am Become Rich I'll....

Recommended Posts

Ok. Now for the most materialistic, daydreaming thread of all.

 

What will you do when you become rich from trading? I’m not interested in general/vague answers or cliché stuff like “buy a big house.” If you have a specific house already picked out with pictures, post away. I’d be interested in what kinds of interests others have which are only afforded to those with more money than average. It doesn't necessarily have to cost millions. Car posts should go in my other thread, "Cars".

 

Here’s a good example to start things off. I’d love to take my family on a world cruise. I'd like for my kids to see the realities of different parts of the world before they become defiant teenagers.

Some kind of picture is a requirement for posting here. It just makes the thread more enjoyable.

Just take them for a short drive south. The poverty in Mexico is a real eye-opener for us spoiled Americans. My first trip there literally changed my worldview 180 degrees. My perspective of my own life changed radically as I realized just how blessed I am. I immediately realized that I already am very wealthy.

A short drive up to the Navajo reservation should provide a wake-up call as well.

 

There are many non-profits out there that I already support and wish I could give much more to. There's no end to worthy causes out there that could do so much more except for the lack of funds.

If I had lots more money than I already do, I would love to travel the world. There are so many wonders out there, I don't think I could ever tire of seeing it all.

I would also love to get a degree for the pure joy of it, instead of the need for career advancement.

I can relate...although, since I just graduated less than a year ago, I would wait a little while. ;)

 

I know for me, I was pretty narrowly focused on GPA and which courses/program prepared me the best and looked the best for potential employers (this was before I decided to trade full-time).

 

However, that's not to say I didn't enjoy college or many of the courses I took, because I certainly did...I even miss it.

Seeing poverty/less fortunate is different than interacting and helping. I spent a lot of time working with blind children and orphanages in Hungary when I lived there and it added another layer of perspective above observation. Just traveling around and seeing the world is only half the plan. Digging some wells in Africa and such is the other half. Good points though.

 

The idea of going back to school to learn for enjoyment instead of grades does sound fun. It seems like most the finish school come away knowing they love to learn but hate dealing with tests and forced homework. Self inflicted homework is just enjoyable practice.

When i become rich, I will help those people who are less fortunate.

I will help first the street children, also, the old people in the home for the aged. Because, not all people are given the chance to have what they want in life. So, I want them to experience that someone still carers for them. The street children, are not lucky for they only live in the streets, and they strive for living. The people in the home for the aged, aren't also lucky, because they were forbidden by their own family.

Work on personal art, enjoy my family, and assist the Gates Foundation which I believe has a good grasp of the things which are critical to humanities improvement and are given less attention than deserved.

True wealth is about having lots of time of your own, and time is precious, but I'll not rush.

And I'll try not to be selfish with my time, and help others as much as I can.

 

I'd like to change the world but I don't know what to do.

Negotiator - after recently moving from London I know you guys are not familiar with these things you dream of as a 'batcave' in Australia they are called a garage.

In the land of OZ many claim you should have a garage on the house that has more car spaces than bedrooms in the house. (and then we wonder why we have a housing boom and have issues with public transport when every house lives too far from everything :).

Sad to say, that places like Australia has become....dare I say it...as expensive as London, so you will need to be rich to move here :(

I'm currently thinking another aspect: To whom am I needed so much that no one else on the planet can replace me?

 

A natural answer will be my parents and my children, but there should be some other answers.

GlassOnion,

 

I have a weathly father-in-law (and no he doesn't share the family trust fund). He often solves his problems by throwing money at it as does his older trust fund 'baby" brother. The end result = doesn't know much about anything. Anyway, that is my slighted view of my in-law.

 

Anyway, I'm planning on having enough reserves to bounce back from future drawbacks that could possibly occur.

I'd like to join a non-faith based medical mission team or even partner up with some organizers. I just want to partake in the adventure and to be a part of something that can continue to produce well intended effects without my direct intervention.

 

Currently, my wife and I are in planning process for our custom home to be built by next year. 3000-3500 sq ft @ approx $130 sq foot w/ plans for a detached guest efficiency/2 car garage and a pool w/ outdoor fireplace.

 

 

Ahhh . . . <sigh>

 

When I become Rich, I'll have to throw more money at my problems to make them go away.

 

A very high % of people who hit the lottery are broke.

Start other businesses, and put people to work. I have an idea about how to use the ocean's tides for power generation. There are already tidal power plants, but my idea is different than what I've seen out there. I also have an idea for a new kind of framing for homes. Then I'd write novels as a non-profit venture. I would not try to sell them in bookstores. They would be free, and distributed by word of mouth, and person to person. I'd probably take donations to cover printing costs, and/or distribute them electronically. And if people liked them, hopefully volunteers would translate them into other languages.

MightyMouse, I agree for the most part. I can be a smart ass about it to prove otherwise. :rofl:

 

I don't help people due to a bleeding heart. I do it for the adventure. On the other hand, my wife does it for both reasons.

    • Be careful who you blame.   I can tell you one thing for sure.   Effective traders don’t blame others when things start to go wrong.   You can hang onto your tendency to play the victim, or the martyr… but if you want to achieve in trading, you have to be prepared to take responsibility.   People assign reasons to outcomes, whether based on internal or external factors.   When traders face losses, it's common for them to blame bad luck, poor advice, or other external factors, rather than reflecting on their own personal attributes like arrogance, fear, or greed.   This is a challenging lesson to grasp in your trading journey, but one that holds immense value.   This is called attribution theory. Taking responsibility for your actions is the key to improving your trading skills. Pause and ask yourself - What role did I play in my financial decisions?   After all, you were the one who listened to that source, and decided to act on that trade based on the rumour. Attributing results solely to external circumstances is what is known as having an ‘external locus of control’.   It's a concept coined by psychologist Julian Rotter in 1954. A trader with an external locus of control might say, "I made a profit because the markets are currently favourable."   Instead, strive to develop an "internal locus of control" and take ownership of your actions.   Assume that all trading results are within your realm of responsibility and actively seek ways to improve your own behaviour.   This is the fastest route to enhancing your trading abilities. A trader with an internal locus of control might proudly state, "My equity curve is rising because I am a disciplined trader who faithfully follows my trading plan."

    • SELF IMPROVEMENT.   The whole self-help industry began when Dale Carnegie published How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936. Then came other classics like Think And Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, Awaken the Giant Within by Tony Robbins toward the end of the century.   Today, teaching people how to improve themselves is a business. A pure ruthless business where some people sell utter bullshit.   There are broke Instagrammers and YouTubers with literally no solid background teaching men how to be attractive to women, how to begin a start-up, how to become successful — most of these guys speaking nothing more than hollow motivational words and cliche stuff. They waste your time. Some of these people who present themselves as hugely successful also give talks and write books.   There are so many books on financial advice, self-improvement, love, etc and some people actually try to read them. They are a waste of time, mostly.   When you start reading a dozen books on finance you realize that they all say the same stuff.   You are not going to live forever in the learning phase. Don't procrastinate by reading bull-shit or the same good knowledge in 10 books. What we ought to do is choose wisely.   Yes. A good book can change your life, given you do what it asks you to do.   All the books I have named up to now are worthy of reading. Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, Robert Greene — these guys are worthy of reading. These guys teach what others don't. Their books are unique and actually, come from relevant and successful people.   When Richard Branson writes a book about entrepreneurship, go read it. Every line in that book is said by one of the greatest entrepreneurs of our time.   When a Chinese millionaire( he claims to be) Youtuber who releases a video titled “Why reading books keeps you broke” and a year later another one “My recommendation of books for grand success” you should be wise to tell him to jump from Victoria Falls.   These self-improvement gurus sell you delusions.   They say they have those little tricks that only they know that if you use, everything in your life will be perfect. Those little tricks. We are just “making of a to-do-list before sleeping” away from becoming the next Bill Gates.   There are no little tricks.   There is no success-mantra.   Self-improvement is a trap for 99% of the people. You can't do that unless you are very, very strong.   If you are looking for easy ways, you will only keep wasting your time forgetting that your time on this planet is limited, as alive humans that is.   Also, I feel that people who claim to read like a book a day or promote it are idiots. You retain nothing. When you do read a good book, you read slow, sometimes a whole paragraph, again and again, dwelling on it, trying to internalize its knowledge. You try to understand. You think. It takes time.   It's better to read a good book 10 times than 1000 stupid ones.   So be choosy. Read from the guys who actually know something, not some wannabe ‘influencers’.   Edit: Think And Grow Rich was written as a result of a project assigned to Napoleon Hill by Andrew Carnegie(the 2nd richest man in recent history). He was asked to study the most successful people on the planet and document which characteristics made them great. He did extensive work in studying hundreds of the most successful people of that time. The result was that little book.   Nowadays some people just study Instagram algorithms and think of themselves as a Dale Carnegie or Anthony Robbins.
