50% of men don't want to be like me in what way(s)? Source for your 50% statistic?
I think he means 50% of men don't want to be wealthy like you are. I count myself in the 50% of men who do want to be wealthy.
I am not wealthy by any stretch of the imagination - unless you mean in the sense that health is wealth, then yes, I am MUCH wealthier than I've ever been.
Monetarily I have amassed ~$25K or so, but that's still sweet F all where I come from. I drive a Honda Civic with 481K kms on it, buy my clothes from thrift stores, and live with family to save money. The average home in the city now costs more than $1Million. My current income level is right around the poverty level for a single person & that's why I'm about to seek a different or second job.
IF he means that some men don't wish to pursue earning money, ok, fine. For the record, I don't really care about money or material things - but I do care about having a decent quality of life and being able to eat healthily and spend time on sports and with friends having fun. It costs money to do those things. I also have other goals in life that cost money, so, I must obtain it as a tool - a means to an end.
Further, money, as has been discussed to death in this forum, tends to make one more attractive to others. Well, not the money itself, IMO, but the ability to earn it & more of it. It's about the process.. the journey - not the destination. I'm sure many women would agree with that. It's about all the little things that add up to someone being able to earn themselves a good living and build a small fortune, not the small fortune itself. I'd suspect this of most people who care somewhat about money, but yes, some JUST care about money itself. They are people that I find kind of sad, empty, shallow, and pathetic. But those that like the traits of others who are able to earn themselves wealth in this life, I respect that a lot more for sure because I understand it. I understand it from having been on both sides of the coin myself.. unable to earn money before, and now capable of earning ever more - and I will.
