Some have given their lives to the money. If you dropped everything in your life and focused solely on work and making cash you would probably triple your income in the first year.

The question is the money worth giving up everything else? For me I say no. I don’t need that much money and I’m sort of lazy I don’t want to work that hard all the time every day every year. I’d rather go for a bike ride, play with the kids take a trip etc.

Oh yeah you could also donate time a local charity. The pay sucks well it usually costs you but the experience and feeling you get inside is priceless.

There are some who have managed to do both but I think they put in the time to bank money first before becoming philanthropic.

I have a foundation which qualified for 501(c)(3) in 2005. It’s basically a History Resource website which contains thousands of pages scanned from original documents. I started doing it just because I enjoy it.

We get very few donations, the site is supported by the stuff we sell at the Zionist Mall.
