Uh, wrong...
The greatest investment a man can make is in his kids!!!!
Forget all the NASDAQ and FTSE shares, when you get to retirement age,
and your kids are well educated in top management positions, tell me,
how on earth will you resolve to only SS and MC
But, I agree with you ... Work Hard ... Develop Your Kids and You'll
never Suffer Later!!! And yea, this will be pretty my friend!
BTW: Some of our parents over here never went to University, but there
is no car, or house, or medical care or money they want and can't get...
Often times, all they need to do is simply ask.
Many Thanks
Yemi Salau

one day you'll be too old to work. if you dont have enough money saved
you'll have to rely on social security and medicare to take care of
you...
(right)
Do you remember that line the mean spymaster said to Ethan Hunt in the
first
mission impossible movie (1996) "Growing old in America can be a very
expensive proposition"
well, what do you think gasoline, food, clothing is going cost in 20-40
years when we are at retirement age!
Work hard and get rich now, or suffer later. it wont be pretty friend.
LOL

that is so true. whats the point of making lots of money when you don't
have
the time to spend it.

I think the point is that money isn't everything. I know some folks at
Google, and they enjoy what they do. That is more important in the
long-run
than making lots of money, but hating whatever you are doing.
Sometimes it may be hard to see that because everything flashes $$ signs
and
people seem to flock to it. But keep in mind that even if you are paid
well, but not around/have time to enjoy any of it, what have you gained!
You're just miserable from your job.
Personally, I think that all the folks drive Jetta's because they live
in CA
and have to find housing. Even if they made lots of money it still
wouldn't
help that. :)
It's a little late to dream about becoming a millionaire on Google's
stock,
or at least it will take a lot longer to make that happen. But you need
to
enjoy whatever it is you are doing.
Besides, if you didn't like the VW you were driving, there's always the
Catapult contests that they have (I think in California) to see how far
you
can launch a Beetle. :) I doubt it's a Google offering, but its still
gotta be lots of fun!

hehehe..very true. It all depends on what you want to do and what you
are
prepared to do while doing it. Not all high paying gigs involve dark
satanic
mills with evil bosses and people working under fear of the lash though.
Some have table tennis too! Culture doesn't necessarily mean you won't
be
rewarded financially.

I pay a lot of attention to culture as I ended up at a Big Four
consulting
firm due to not taking that into consideration. You spend too many
hours
per week at a job to be miserable the entire time. I would rather have
a
mohawk and conduct large-scale Nerf raids against the Linux team while
driving my 96 Jetta than have to stay clean cut and polished while
driving a
new Lexus.
Besides, after this CCIE thingamajigger is done, even the low-end pay
rate
isn't bad.
With a few exceptions, secrecy is deeply incompatible with democracy
and
with science.
