Comment on Ask YC: What would you do?

Comments

Do what you love.

Money is only means to an end, the end being happiness.

If you spend 8 (or 12) hours a day doing something you don't like you won't be happy.

How do you know what it is you love? (Maybe by asking that question, I don't really know?) How do you go about finding what it is you love to do? On the same token, as long as I'm doing and learning a bunch of new information constantly, I can usually find interesting problems to solve.

Money buys freedom, opportunities, and most importantly time. I don't want to be a slave to my debts and habits, which is why I'll be debt free by age 25. Money certainly is not everything, but it's definitely a factor.

Good point.

There's a quote from an eccentric Danish Millionaire that says "Money can buy almost everything, and the things that it can't buy are free anyway"

What would you do if you had $100m in the bank? I love hacking, so if money were no object, I'd still be hacking. If I were in prison or on a desert island, I'd want a laptop with a compiler.

Perhaps this quote can help you answer that question:

"I am not particularly fond of the real estate industry, and it is not as sexy as solving anything in healthcare" - jyu
