This always seems to be the problem.

Although I'm guessing a lot of you would say it's worth it I say nay nay.

I'm not so egotistical that I feel the need to create a legacy at the expense of my current life.

betting is a fantastic career dont listen to fools who gabble about family, girls

Point me in the direction of a self sustaining career gambler And I'm not talking about someone who wins $9k a year and lists that as a living allowance outside of mom and dad's or a college dorm.

Wow, I guess alot of ppl took this out of context..

1. I never said Im ganna make a living from gambling.

2. I never mentioned school or the reason why ppl work.

Infact, the whole purpose of the post was a quick message: live life, don't take it for granted. And enjoy your memorial weekend..
That message says alot more than what you read..from the age of 15 I've had a full time job and have been both a full time and part time student, currently in collge with an associates degree in business management. Soo I havnt been a complete bum even though I could have had my bachelors years ago..
point is, I realized that I was spending more time at work thinking about what I really wanted to be doing but couldn't.. coaching my little league basketball team, crossfit training, fishing.. the list goes on.

Life is to short to be working for someone else and helping them reach their dreams.
I consider myself lucky at this point in my life. I played a few hands right and im comfortable, BY NO MEANS DO I EXPECT THINGS TO KEEP GOING SO SMOOTHLY. But if all turns out right, ill have a bad ass crossfit facility open by the end of the year, a few little league basketball camps around town and w.e else I decide id like to do with my life. . Trust me, I know I wont be driving a 2011 lexus home everyday. But I like to ride bike and my 04 accord should give me another 3-5years w.o a problem.. best part about it.. I wont feel like im wasting my life sitting in an office doing w.e it is..
As far as firefighter/ cop work. I respect it. And I think its the most filling job anyone can have along with the armed forces. My dad has been a firefighter for 30 years now. All I have to say about that, he wasn't around much. Sure me and my 3 siblings has it good for the most part of our life, but let's just say he missed out on alot if things. 48 hrs onand 3 days off catches up
after a while.

rubbing shoulders with jj!

[Ninersnut]

Yeah quit your job and when you need one in like 4 years or so good luck trying to explain the lack of employment history and references that you will probably need to get anything that pays more than $10 an hour.....

[goldstein077]

Only work about 15 hours a week, but im in college. Definately living it up, dreading the real world this time next year! Rolling the dice until then however.

Working suxs, especially the first Monday back while Friday's and paid holiday's are always great
I know 3 type of ballers but they all work in some kind of fashion.

D-Hustlers-the big timers here makes easily 10 to 20k monthly by just transporting sh1t, although not worth in the long run because you will get caught.

Card Dealers-these folks makes a killing off of tips just shuffling cards at the Casino.

And Finally small business owners. The great thing about owning your business your the boss. The bad thing, more people fail than succeed when running a small business. These folks take home 5k-10k monthly all cash.

I don't know any ballers that makes their money strictly from gambling, not one.

There are more people than you realize that make a living.

[jboy4]

I have to work until I can finally make a living at sportsbetting and that will never happen. Guess I will work until I die...

I am a millionaire but my doctor said it would be good to get out and carry golf bags a few days a week.
