I can see your pretty serious about this. What is your life going to be looking like?

I don't know. It probably won't be that much different for a couple years because my kids are still little. My son is a savant at school though (he is in 1st grade, but in all seriousness he could probably take 3 or 4 years off and he wouldn't be behind). He is in the middle of wrestling season right now, so I don't want to take those things away from them. But I will probably just be around more and we will take more trips. Then when the kids get a little older and can understand and remember, we will probably do something more drastic.

I will probably continue to work and hoard for another year or so after we get the cheap house.

yeah, I remember you talking about all this a couple years back. I'm probably not going to teach english abroad because I can make more money online (but as an aside, I quit doing that over a year ago). It is so little money per year (I think they get paid like $20k per year), it would make more sense for me to just work an extra month or two at home and then not have to worry about it.

I don't want an extended vacation, I think I am having a midlife crisis, because I have no plan of ever going back to full time work, at least not in the way I am doing it now.

Im putting synthol into my cock, wish my luck.

let me know if that works. My wife might need a pectoral injection

That is cool. Pretty ballsy. Ive been living a little fantasy something like that in my head. It might be possible that my company would let me leave work to do a semester abroad. I have some college credit and im thinking about going back. It would be cool to go to the greek islands or italy if i could afford it. I would be more than happy to leave work for a few months to go to the beach. I did a little reading and if you have a degree you can get teaching jobs there. That mig be something worthwhile for you. Teach english somewhere and do your online consulting thing. You could probably live somewhat comfortably on a greek island.

Im still going to work, I am just not going to be a 40 hour week lawyer. I might start a different business. When the kids are a few years older, the wife and I are talking about taking them out of school for a year and either drifting the carribbean or working in an orphanage or something for a year or 2. Maybe do a peace corp stint as a family. Imma stay busy, but for me I'd rather just get off the mandatory treadmill asap.

Apparently he injected an oil and alcohol mix into his arms and neck and they arent even muscles.

Well whatever it is, he is deadlifting the fuck out of those rotors. So its legit in my book.

Wow your going to be like an old retired guy. You can get the early bird specials and all that good stuff. No senior discount though.

Yeah, that pretty much sums up how I think I'm going to feel no matter what I do.

Yeah, I have never been real passionate about any work. Even when I was going to be a HS wrestling coach, I did that for 2 years and that is one of the reasons I went to law school (thank God, because that would have been shitty). The best I can hope for is the least shitty job, which I pretty much have. So, the goal is to just not work and do different projects here and there.

Anyway, I have talked it over more with the wife, and I think we are going to do it. So far the problem is that we can't find a suitable "cheap house."

[Mr. IWS]

He said some of the best times in our life were when we were broke.

I tend to agree with that, I have a lot of good memories with my wife when we were broke. you really appreciate the little things when shit is going bad in your life.

[edman5555]

Good. I think he's a douche anyway

Yeah so do i. This kinda goes to show you he is as well. Generally i dont side with dana white but the ufc did give the guy anjob on fox sports. He shouldnt be doing anything to help bellator at that point.

You know who has it well? I am not sure on the money they make, but these MMA "journalists". Some dumb bitch at UFC 168 got to sit front row in front of the cage with all the other reporters. You know what question she asked Weidman at the press conference? "Have you been training hard for this fight?" ...I wish I could make a living (even if it wasn't making a lot of money) by writing articles, doing interviews, and being flown out to multiple events to cover. I'd probably suck Ariel Helwani's dick for at least 5 minutes if he could help me make that happen.

They don't make shit. Most of them probably 35-40k a year. The top ones that have done it for decades and cover both sports (boxing and MMA) probably make 70k.
