I love you and I love this. I don’t even know how I stumbled upon this article here while I was having a conversation with my brain, but I’m going to see what you’re all about and read the shit out of everything that seems like it could be helpful to me on this website. Thank you, Mr. Altucher.

I lost my marriage (his infidelity), which led to us losing our house. Moved back in with my parents briefly to regroup in a place where I knew I was safe and loved. This was over a year ago. My credit is still shot to hell, but I don’t care. I’m happy, loved, building a business of my own. Life is good.

This is a great article. Sometimes it’s hard to step back and get some perspective. But in times of crisis, it’s crucial.

Some people just keep on thinking too fast to understand or see the whole picture or the meaning of something. They just can’t “get it”. Not yet anyway, maybe someday.

The guy is 24 – he has everything – eery millionaire over the age of 60 would give all their money away, and any future money that they may earn, just to be 24 again. He has everything

I lost it all at 51 – everything apart from my children – my card was rejected at the local super market when trying to purchase the week’s groceries.

I thought ‘to hell with this’ and started a business with a loan. I am now 60, have just sold the business for £1.2 m – I never thought it would happen to me. I’m not a particularly good business man but had the three main ingredients : HARDWORK, TIMING AND LUCK

So, I can’t say I have too much sympathy for the 24 year old ZNGA guy

I’ve always had this sort of alien thing going on. I see myself as 3 people. 1 in the past, 1 now, and 1 in the future. Whatever shit happens today , thats just me now, I know I can look back and see this as another persons problems. I think there is a saying like everything will pass.
