who still where's a watch? that's so 90's.
wear you been son, their back in style, lol
rofl @ the water bottles
Saw them at the Universal Studios in Hollywood..
Had to get them both..
Ever other week I get a brand new car. Got twenty, that's plenty yet I still want more, kinda fond of honda scooters, got seventy-four. I got the riches to fulfill my needs. Got land in the sand of the West Indies. Even got a little island of my very own. I gotta frog and a dog with a solid gold bone. An accountant to account the amount I spent. Got a treaty with Tahiti cuz I own a percent.
I'm kinda spoiled cuz everything I want I got made. I wanted gear, got everything from cotton to suede. I wanted lead, i didn't beg I just got laid. My hair was growin too long, so I got me a fade. And when my dishes got dirty, I got cascade. When the weather was hot, I got a spot in the shade. I'm wise because I rise to the top of my grade. Wanted peace on earth, so to God I prayed. Some kids across town thought I was afraid...they couldn't harm me - I got the army brigade. I'm not a trader - If what you got is greater I'll trade, but maybe later cuz my waiter made potato alligator souflee.
that watch doesn't have any numbers on it. How do you know what time it is?
never had 6 cars, but 3, mitsubishi, honda and an w12 a8 still have the mitsubishi but sold the other two cuz I spent all my dough and when I wasn't working for the last 2 years it's really how fast it goes.
spend probably a month in the town villas at the wynn next to mel gibson.
rented a villa complex in koh samui last winter at 5k a night.
i got used to this lifestyle when I was working and continued when I retired.
you know what I learned? i did it for other people. showing off.
Not for me, there was no long term benefit at all.
dumbest thing ever done in my life. and i done a lot of stupid shit.
it's nice to show what you got. could also be what you had.
And if you have to spend all of your money on showing people what you can buy,
Take it from me. the 200k car sold for 50k.
The Villas had 2 bedrooms, 5 baths, I never even pissed in each hole. and mel gibson is a noisy neighbor.
i had it, and i'm going to make it back.
but this time i'm not gonna spend it on stupid shit.
PS I had two rolexes, one tag heuer and lots of other not so expensive watches in the last 10 years.
i lost them all. always bought new ones and never thought a second time about it.
me in the last two years is probably the single dumbest person I know to have existed on this planet.
when I see your cars and cash, boy I see myself in you![]()

So True. I'll break character and answer this seriously. You're right. I lost everything at one point a few years ago in the stock market. I had to re-build from the ground up. It was the hardest thing I ever went through in my entire life.
I know exactly what you're talking about. Anyone with money knows it generally takes very hard work, drive, & ingenuity to achieve financial freedom. I was never showing off, I could have shown a lot more. Read the thread, I was just dicking around with Dresden. When you're Married, with two kids. Boredom is a motherfucker. Isn't that sometimes what fuels posting on Wickedfire on the first place?
Now I spend most of my time giving back to those who helped me along the way and trying to help those who want to make something of themselves (some people on this board). I find I get much more pleasure from helping people then I ever did going out and partying when I was younger.
Everyday is a struggle to become a better person, and a better father.
I appreciate your post, hopefully others will read what you wrote and take it seriously. It's one of the best posts i've read on this forum.
i like your vette. is that a z06?
I went through something very similar as you. The money at an early age corrupted my mind and I thought I was economically and financially invincible and some sort of business genius. I was wrong.
I hit rock bottom and wanted to get it all back, but didn't have the hunger.. the eye of the tiger needed to hustle for it. What fixed the motivation problem for me was the birth of my son. It lit a fire under my ass and i'm now four times as successful than I ever was I before I hit rock bottom.
You did it before you can do it again. I'm not saying go plant your seed in some random, but just know that it's possible to get it back. The lessons you learned from the first time around will only make you even more successful the second time around.
Making money is the easy part, the hard part is keeping it.
