I'm paying over $700 a month for a 10 Mbps connection. So don't complain too loudly

How to earn $1 million while traveling the world - Business Insider

I met a guy at SXSW who does nothing but create wordpress themes, has a few apps, and takes stock photos and sells them online. He makes $80k-$100k a month and spends 9-10 months out of the year traveling Asia and Europe.

Part of me is jealous I must admit. It does depend on your type of trading though. I tried it for a stretch of about 8 months in the Philippines. Its a country where when you sign up for a broadband internet connection, like 3 Mbps, you connect and it is so slow that you run a speed test and find out it is only like 512 Kbps then when you call up to complain they say the plan is technically up to 3 Mbps so any speed below it is what you get even if it is deathly slow. In the end I was able to get an 8 Mbps fiber optic line but quite expensive, but includes cable tv, over $120 US dollars a month but while it is incredibly stable, I can't sign up to watch the manny pacquaio fights on pay per view twice a year, grrrr. I am back in Chicago now, but still have my house there where I can go for a retreat for a few months at a time. I am a US citizen so I am still on the hook for income tax.

Or perhaps more importantly, a sense of contentment or satisfaction derived from internal sources vs external.

Reminds me of this cool book

That was one of my primary motivations. It got me to get off my ass and make enough dough so I could live this way.

That's pretty sick.

I felt for quite some time now that it is easier to get paid for providing value than for taking a risk.

I thought so in my business. That providing value was the best way to get paid. Then I realized that everything comes with some risk. And if I am gonna take risk I want to be paid for it, whether it is in business or trading.
