The point of life is what you make it, my friend. I decided that my purpose is to enjoy my life as much and long as possible. For me, that means I need to become financially independent as soon as possible to pursue my passion (teaching) without worrying about money. I decided that my parents well-being is a huge point of my life as well, so I want them to enjoy their retirement with my help and continue to work towards their own purpose in life. Then most importantly, making sure my wife and kids will always see me as a loving husband/father and that I was able to be a positive and loving force in their lives. After all that, I want to retire at a nice ranch, gardening and raising animals til I pass to the other side :)

I guess we do have choice (if we are lucky enough) -but there has to be a deeper point to all this

Hi! Wanting to know if anyone has any recommendations on how to negotiate your salary increase that comes with your promotion.

There's a chance I might get promoted with my current employer early next year (2 years in current role), and I want to be prepared for this.

So I work as an assistant manager at a restaurant for the past 9 months. I've worked in restaurants for the past 6 years science I was 16. Now I'm 22. I went to a trade school for media and film. I got a dream opportunity to work in the field making about the same or 10% more. I told myself the only reason I'd leave this company is for this type of job. Should I take the chance at this job and leave the restaurant that is on the rise and growing?
