Comment on Ask HN: Getting depressed about money. How do I make a meaningful amount “fast”?

Comments

Wanting to get rich quickly is often a way to get poor. Be careful.

[Edit: Here's a quote I like. "Money is like gasoline on a road trip. You don't want to run out of gas on your trip, but you're not doing a tour of gas stations. You have to pay attention to money, but it shouldn't be about the money." - Tim O'Reilly]

Yes, absolutely. I am not after getting rich overnight. I am after getting rich in the timeframe of say 5-10 years. Quicker is better, but smarter is better than quicker.
