Scale up your $100 days and become a success, alothough I would say that $100 a day at 18 you are already a success, but you should use that to build on. There is plenty of time for socialising when you are older, create firm financial foundations for yourself. When I was your age I had so much potential with a variety of things, but I pissed it all up against the wall and never reached my potential. Take it from me, Hindsight is your best and worst enemy, the amount of times I say to myself if I did ........ when I was 18 it would have been so different.
Financial freedom wont give you happieness but it sure will help.
this is really the most crappy thing to answer someone like him...
...socialising when he is older???
stop giving him comments like "forget about a social life - make money." "make more money and then..." then what?!?
his problem is not having people he can rely on. everybody needs them - if you see em often or not.
all that "money here and money there"-talk won`t help you if you feel lonely and outside of the social world.
who cares about friends that you just have because they know you got money?
should he buy some friends then?
socialising later? pfff...
...it`s the relations you build in early life that may hold for a lifetime.
and if you start socialising "later" - you will really miss the years and the stuff you tend to do when you where young.
...and they will be gone then. forever.
i have my friends - a few but people i would take a bullet for and the other way around...
...often time goes by and i do not see them too much because we all are busy. but i got them and they are there when i need them.
and we enjoy quality-time together regularly because it is really important in my thought.
dear OP - if you lack friends: go out make yourself some. go to the gym, a course in something you are interested in, a sports-club, whatever gets you out to places were people are (and even better: people that do like something you are interested in too.)
you will get in touch with people - it is just that YOU have to go and do it.
they won`t knock on your door - but it ain`t too hard to get that managed when your young.
have trust - and get your ass up from behind the machine once in a while.
thinking you can only have "financial-freedom" or a social life is just plain wrong...
...now move to get yourself out of this position - so you feel better.
cheers!
