Re:17-year old makes $20k/mo via Internet marketing, $370k s... by guynamedloren on Sunday June 24, 2012 @09:45PM (#4154792)
I'm relatively young and entrepreneurial, and when I hear about people making loads of money in internet advertising like this (especially young people), my gut reaction is envy and jealously. I think "sheesh, I could totally be doing that"... but I always come to the conclusion that I would be absolutely miserable doing what these guys do, because it's just not something I'm into, and spending every waking moment doing something I hate/despise is certainly not how I want to live my life.

In fact, I cannot imagine being much happier than I am now. I live in Los Angeles, so naturally I am surrounded my wealthy individuals flaunting their money everywhere I go (houses, cars, etc), but despite all of this, I cannot imagine that these people are any happier than I am. Likewise, I don't imagine that I could be happier if I had the material possessions that they have.

This guy says he loves what he does and advocates others doing what they love, which is fantastic advice.
