Fuck it.
I'm cancelling my subscription to Discovery Channel.....
There is enough pissing on trees in this thread for the run-off to float a super-tanker.
I made millions BEFORE the internet. In fact my first (liquid cash in bank) by 1996.
But then again, I also lost it all, but that is a WHOLE other story.
I'm not taking sides, but a figure I would sure like to know is how many times Serge has increased his value SINCE retiring.
Making it can be overrated.
Keeping it is the hard part.
Building on it?
That's the real stuff "I sale short ICQ's" is all about.

I haven't increased my value in the sense you define value. As a matter of fact, I am $150,000 below the amount I went with for retirement.
Can you assign "my value" on the facts that:
1) my extended family has no longer have debts/mortgages, etc?
2) my father travels the world more than I do?
3) 1/2 of what I make distributed among the family?
there is something what can't be quantified, but makes ME feel realy good!
;-))))
some people get high on Lamborginies,
I get high on knowing I made the difference in people's lives.

CB, where is written anywhere that the purpose of our lives is to "have fun"?
The last 5 years I am thinking what is our purpose on Earth,
and I still don't have the answer....but "having fun" ain't it, THIS I know for sure

CB,
I hear you....and value EXPERIENCE more than anything what life throws at ya...
I came to USA with $153 in my pocket,
18 years later, after divorce,
I found myself with beaten up station wagon, $458, and TON of experience.
It's GOOD to be dropped on your head from time to time,
if EXPERIENCE is in your luggage
;_)))

Serge,
Now we are on the same wavelength totally 
You learn far more from your mistakes than you EVER will from your successes.
I have had, and continue to have, a steep learning curve.
Your story I have heard from others you know well in this biz who have similarly built themselves literally from the bones of their ass. Unlike some of them, you always give the appearance that you have not forgotten where you came from. That is what I respect.
The story of my meteoric rise and fall in my past life is not for these boards, but for my true friends. I have no one to blame but myself.
And I agree - it was the single BEST thing that ever happened to me (in hindsight of course), because it has taken me from being someone in those days I did not like, to someone today that I do.
I have said many times, here and elsewhere, that everyone in this biz was a newbie once, just some seem to forget that on there way to the top.
Your word "despise" I will pick up and use in the context of how I feel about those who may have made it, but have lost themselves along the way. Actaully despise is probably off the mark - I actually feel sorry for those people.
Me, I have retained much of what has always been me, before money, during money, after money and making it again.
Once an asshole, always an asshole.
And ALWAYS a straight shooter.

CB,
no arguments from me om ALL the points you brought.
I knoiw I haven't changed much from before/during/after...and I have proof of that.
One of my offline friends whom I told few years ago to go and fuck himself,
told me that I am THE SAME and use the SAME voice in GFY expression like I used "before money"
;-))
I ALWAYS helped family and friends, and NOTHING is gonna change that,
I love not just accumulate good memories, but leave some too as well...
the line I never forgot I heard from politician:
"I can't be everything for everybody,
but I can be everything for SOMEBODY"
;-))))
