As I read many a posts, It seems like alot of you have great jobs which allow you to travel frequently and facilitate your enjoyment. I was just curious as to what kind of jobs people have on here. Mongering is not cheap, and the time to do it is nearly non-existant in our fast paced busy gringo culture. SO what carreer should i be looking into fellas?

Professional drinker. Oh wait...that's just my hobby. :oops:

Find a career you enjoy and will be good at. The $ should take care of itself (and if not immediately, with time).

A lot of possible solutions to the time--money--desire problem with mongering:

1: Get yourself born into a wealthy family so you never have to work or worry about money

2; Rob a bank and hide out for the rest of your life in Costa Rica

3: Marry a 'rich bitch' and cheat on her

4: Win the lotto

5: Inherit millions from that long lost uncle

6: Just be patient, work hard at what ever your profession is, save and invest wisely, STAY SINGLE, make mongering trips as you can aford them, and look forward to the RETIREMENT DAY. To varying degrees, I think this is more or less what most of the guys here have done and are doing, no matter what their profession.

ME? I was not smart enough to do these things--Worked in a profession that was low paying, loooong hours and very demanding; married 4 times (never found a "rich bitch'), lost my savings, lost my retirement, rich uncle gave everything to a non family member, never got more than 2 out of 6 #s in the lottery, never had the guts to rob a bank, Was born into a wealthy family--wealthy in 'love' not money, but

I DID FIND TIME TO "MONGER" STARTING AT THE AGE OF 20 :twisted: :P :P

And the best way to monger is to just be patient till you can RETIRE :!:

RETIREMENT MONGERING IS GREAT even with very little money, and it sure will keep you feeling young even if you are an "old fart" :? 8) :lol: :wink:

"...STAY SINGLE."

Good advice. I feel every young man should experience marriage at least once. Great for him if it works out 8) ; though a very good chance it won't. So many guys I know made the mistake of doing it again and again, and end up in that same old rut. :(
