...addicted to money dopamina

[Lukmat]

​

-hey Luke, maybe you want to talk today?
-I am Luke, 29, I am addicted to money dopamina
-clap, clap, clap

I am interested to, how many of you are addicted to money, this feeling when huge money is appearing on your account. First time I've experienced it in 2011 and still I cannot stop working to feel it again. It was 12k$ in single day for 7 days. I felt like fckin Spiderman jumping and running on the walls.
Now I am in little shithole, cannot break even 1k$/day ;/

There is also negative side, if you are blackhat guy, you need to be careful to not go so "black". There is very narrow border between blackhat and cybercrime. Sometimes I would like to be like El Chapo or Escobar of IT. When I watch Narcos, I see these millions everywhere, luxury, cashflow and "life".
So fckin temptin to cross the border.

I think it is a good addition. It propels you to work hard, just to get that feeling

Not nice because I am frustrated low progress or no progress. Turning to very black activity like cheating ad networks.
Year after year for 2011 I cannot break ice wall to make millions, not thousands.
If I would like thousands, I would go to local copper mine.

What did you do with 12K * 7 = 84K once you got it? Did you use it for a new project or save it?

This is not about "what you do with your money"
It was 2011

If it is affecting your life negatively, yes - it's a problem.

Money is awesome no doubt, but don't let it control your life and have you make actions which you are not proud of. Money will always be there and can always be made.

Addiction to anything, by definition, is bad. Be it sex, drugs, money, internet, BHW... whatever.
Being addicted means you're dependent on something.

And being dependent on anything/anyone is the last thing you want to do.

The only negative that life is short. Money will always be there...but not time.
I don't want to have milions after 60 to get fun for few years.

It's inside battle - do evil, enjoy, risk and win...or loose in jail

vs work slow, frustrate, be happy after 60 ;/

Full time job will not let you earn milions, ever. Normal business also with 10-30k$/month. It's just 120-300k$/year. You cannot do anything bigger with such money. You can buy real estate, invest a little, buy some car and thats everything. Most of business models are drained in 5-10 years.
After that you need to start over. Of course, it's easier when you have budget, but still you need to work, worry about income and all business things.

Perfect state, when you have 100 apartments to rent, some gold, silver, few cars - freedom. You cannot do it with 120-300k$/year. You cannot do it with standard IM. 1-5mln/year would be perfect.

Maybe, I am jealous when I see hundreds of people with full time job, no stress, peace even they are selling own lifetime. However, I cannot be like them, cannot just live and die like them, slaves.

Very good point. Just don't let money control you.

I was just thinking something very similar to this thread: In the past few days I was brokering an insanely massive business deal for the buyer and seller that would pretty much change my life. And honestly, I couldn't sleep properly for the past few days and was constantly thinking about it - got a lil too excited. Long story short, I decided to go deep into my thoughts to focus on why exactly I want it. The conclusion & realization was that even if this deal does not work out, it's not a problem because there is sooooo much money out there that you'll pretty much make it anyways as long as you're persistent and try your best. The deal did not work out and because of that realization, it affected me very little.


There's nothing wrong with chasing money and working your ass for it - but if it's something that's taking over your life in a way that may end up very bad (jail time) or massive depression or so forth, might want to focus on your inner-self/game to make sure that does not happen. So many lives are ruined this way.

You've had good success with $12k days (which a very small % in the world have had). Always chase more, but be appreciative where you are. Because if you aren't, then when you make that $1-$5 Million a year, you'll again be chasing $10-$15 million, and so forth. Just like if you get a nice house and move into a new neighborhood, and see houses a lot bigger than yours, you'll want those. Then you make more money move into an even bigger house.... guess what, you'll see even bigger houses and want them too. A never ending game of always chasing more and never being happy where you are.

Just out of curiosity OP, but what illegal things are you talking about doing?

Gordon Gekko:
The point is, ladies and gentlemen, that greed, for lack of a better word, is good. Greed is right, greed works. Greed clarifies, cuts through, and captures the essence of the evolutionary spirit. Greed, in all of its forms: greed for life, for money, for love, knowledge, has marked the upward surge of mankind.


Maybe, I will want more but $1-$5mln/year can give you budget for serious business. Sorry, but most on this forum are happy when they can earn $1000/month and people with $500/day are superstars in My Journey threads. With such money, they will always stay in one place, trying to rank site, cheat social networks, sell more with shopify but they will not destroy this ice wall. Still serious business is not in the internet. To get serious income from online, you need same or more than offline. It's easier to make smaller money but not millions. With 1-5mln$ budget you can buy here small mine and make easy $100k/year for decades, or water power station, easy income for next 50 years but you need $10mln to buy it.
Same money you need to build good online business.

What is the point? You can't make $10mln easily with IM, most of people never will earn such money with legal activity.

Sure greed is good in the sense that it motivates you to do bigger and better things. But in terms of it being a good personality trait, I don't know about that. It can influence a lot of your decisions negatively

I will not break rules of BHW but it's about faking impressions.
I will not explain more, here or on PM, sorry, BHW is not a place for this. If you are looking for such information, google it yourself.

you can get it back you can get it back! Stay white hat!

Guys, I just want to live comfortable, not be super rich or anything of the sort, but to be able to provide a decent home for my family.
I work my butt off but for what, im in a damn rat wheel living paycheck to paycheck never seeing the light at the end of the tunnel, investing in these crypto's is a hope that I hold onto and that at least one of these damn things will make me enough coin to buy my family a nice house in the country.
Thats all I want. is that to much to ask for?
Tired of being a slave...

Hah, I need little more

• teeth implants ($100k)
  
• house in mountains ($1,2mln)
• car can be old mercedes ($50k)
  
• workshop to restore old cars ($1,5mln) including base models
• $5mln budget to not work for "must" ever again

SUMMARY
$7850000
30k$/month
261 months
21 FUCKIN YEARS if I can keep 30k/month but it's very hard.

Acceptable minimum would be $100 000/month - 8 years but from legal business it's very hard to make 100k/month.

LOL but with illegal, it is very easy to get caught. And actually $100K/Mo isn't super difficult, it certainly outweighs the illegal risk.

$100K/Mo SaaS = 1000 Customers at $100/Mo.

Effective SaaS certainly have well over 1000 customers paying $97/Mo.
