What category do you rate yourself, and why?

[freak daddy]

1) Just Enougher- Does just enough to get by in life. Lives paycheck to paycheck.
2) Plateauer-Worked your ass off until you hit a certain goal. Now your content with that level in life, and just plateau at that level. You're just content, You live within a comfort circle. Afraid to leave it. Scared of failure.
3) D.W.I.Ter(Do what ever it takes to not be be a broke ass mutha fucker) You go far and above what is expected, you stop at nothing to reach financial success, and when you reach that level, you still can't stop. Money and success mean everything. Being better than the next person is everything.

Kind of a combo.

I'm always shooting for something. Some major goal. I won't stop until I achieve... but I'm also content where I am. If it doesn't get any better, that's okay. I'm happy. I want more for my children, and I want to accomplish my dreams... but not to be better than anyone. Just to make it better for my kids.

They are my life. And I will do anything it takes to make their lives good.

I'm not sure which category that leaves me in.

Half 2/Half 3, when it comes to my career and training i am a 3, but i don't do very well socially, have troubles talking to people, especially women, so i kinda just try to stay in my comfort zone and if a woman is talkin bout a topic i'm comfortable with, then i join in, i know its pathetic.

Great reply Big Brother Val.
Being single and having nothing tieing me down, I'm always doing whatever it takes. I love money, greed, possessions, women. The more the better. I've busted my ass to be where I am in life. I've seen all sides. I've been homeless, hungry, and broke. That WILL NEVER happen again.
People say money does'nt make you happy, but neither does poverty! Give me the money!!!!!

Being unsociable is'nt always a bad thing. You're only as successful as the people you surround yourself with. Trouble and trash breed trouble and trash. I only take advice from people I want to be like. There are people who try to give advice all the time on things they know nothing about. Those people will be your downfall.
I see us alot alike doc_pup.

 

[doc_pup]

I can see your points freak daddy, you're probably right, i guess i just see myself as that geeky fat kid from high school and want to be accepted. It does seem that we are alike, Karma for you for pointing that out, cheers

used to be a 1, now i'm a 3. I never was lazy, but when I was younger I wasn't very concerned about money. Then I grew up, got focused and the rest is history.

I think that's the pattern most of us followed mrbill. When I graduated from H.S. all I wanted to do was get high and drunk. It's funny how priorities change.
Thanks doc_pup. I'll hit you back when I have some Karma to give.

 

[mrbill]

ya i know what you mean freak....i was a partying animal for a while there but to tell you the truth it just got old and boring. Guess we all have to grow up eventually. BTW, everyone on the thread got a shot of karma, just to start the day off with.

 

[freak daddy]

I'll hit you back mrbill when I'm allowed give some Karma again. Peace!

 

[havoc]

I'm all 3 at times, good post. peace

I guess I'm a #2.... I met all my goals that I set back in '93..... and now I'm just kinda hanging out here.

When the market was kicking ass, I had some new pretty big goals.... but then it kicked MY ass


I worry about just hanging out here and not trying to better myself..... I really need to set some new goals!

 

[toga22]

I am a D.W.I.T.er, without a doubt. Not for the money, however, but for the simple idea of being the best. I am VERY competitive at work, at training, at school, and in life. I am VERY stubborn, I do not give up and I will not, WILL NOT, ask for help from anyone. I figure out my own problems and devise my own solutions. I give my all, every minute, and in the end I will not settle being 2nd best.

That is awesome!! You get good Karma!

 

[flexed1]

Every week I buy stock and mutual funds and put cash away. I am very competitive in work as in play. However I work because i enjoy it and spend money as well on things I want. Its not this do or die money attitude but iots more i work hard and want my life to show for it.

No need to be down my friend. Goals are powerful. Write them down, put them on your frig. If you see something every day, like a written goal you are more likely to acheive it. If you just think about it, you are more inclined to forget about that goal. Peace!

Couldn't have said it better myself.......

Good post.

 

[Gilbyag]

im w/bbv on this one. im good where Im at, not afraid to try new stuff but if'n it dont work then thats ok cuz Im good to go. Im to damn happy go lucky... people are always telling me I could do more, have more, move up..... why, I know I could, I do when I choose to.... Im fix'n to kick it up a notch here pretty soon though. I think ive cruised in this job long enough. about 2 yrs is my limit and then I start to ge bored.

 

[Cleaner]

DWI.......I always have been.
That being better than the next person has nothing to do with.

I want the freedom of being loaded.
Read the millionarie next door.
Most wealthy poeple have a go to hell account.
So at anytime they can just say fuk it and bail out to better things.
A go to hell account normallyhas enough money to support them for years.....that what I want......and travel. I want to see it all!

 

[Julez]

I would rate myself 3 although I am not driven by money.

I love my work and I try to reach the next competency so I can become better at it.

I could do with MORE money though

 

[conan69]

I am never satisfied, NEVER always want bigger and better
and money isnt my only motivation

example

i am currently a college student
i was enlisted as a marine, cause they are the best!
i wasnt happy, i wanted to be a squad leader
that wasnt good enought, i wanted to win company honors out of my MOS school that wasnt good enoght

so i wanted to be an officer
i am in that process now, but i know i will want to be a 4 star general someday

in high school my guidance counsler laughed when i said i was going to go to college some day
well guess what i am about 1 month from my degree

i dont have a job ( on the books ) but i drive a 97 bmw 528i with alot of toys

i am neversatisfied,
anyone that settles loses my respect
everyday we can better ourselves, by learning, accomplishmens, improving your personality, helping someone

we can always be better and i refuse to stop trying
