Nice. I like Rogan's stuff mostly. Definitely seems like the more is given to you the less satisfaction you have. Even the rich, I have a couple friends that have the security of a trust fund but they are generally miserable. Yeah, they have more freedom but it is experienced behind guarded walls and fences because everyone they meet has some ulterior motive. Look at all the failures or messed up lives from people hitting the lottery or making it big at a young age. They never had to make that journey. Their lives ended up more screwed up than they would've been if they never had a bunch of cash for a few moments. I like this saying: "when you consider your wealth remember the things you have that money cannot buy"

You are so right Spock. I kick myself in the ass many times for taking the easy road of my career because the money was good. Several years ago I was running my own little side gig with Internet publishing. It was proving itself to be worthwhile opportunity. To make the story short, I was offered a lot of money and sold it all. I regret it. I had the opportunity to do what I wanted and when. But knew it was going to be harder work and would never make what I am making punching the clock. The beast certainly had a lot of influence too. But, hey, you can't look back. Rogan rules!
