Wow Joy -- reading these quotes, especially your views on money and the markets and investing and well, all of it sounds SO very much like someone I've typed as ENTp. It was like being transported back in time and listening to his explanations and ideas as far as money-stuff was concerned.
His goal was to retire in his 30s so he could do what he wanted, build stuff, work on all of his cool ideas, spend more time with his family (although with all these projects going on. . . Very Happy ) He was actually not far off from reaching that goal as he became the sole landman for a natural gas company who is also developing some really cool technology that we both were a part of, and he would have had a share in the profits of every well that he got going. . .at any rate, you two sounded an awful lot like each other.
