Hi Members,
I wanted advice on girlfriends and achieving financial independence (freedom). I read MJ's book 2.5 years ago and since then I created a niche software product that has been well received. Last year my income was $150K and my goal for this year is $250K. I am currently 37 years old and I do want to have a family. I decided to start dating again after a 2 year hiatus around 6 months ago with the intention of meeting my wife.
What I am encountering though has me frustrated. Most single women without children in their early to mid 30s in my area appear to have very high expectations. It's not unusual for me to hear that they buy $3k purses yet their salary is $60K or they want a Porsche Cayenne as their next vehicle yet they make under 6 figures. This just boggles my mind as these are intelligent, attractive women yet they just can't delay gratification and think like Side Walkers at times.
My focus right now is to keep growing my business, invest my money and reach financial independence but I thought sharing my life with someone would enhance my life experience. Instead I am finding dating to be a huge drag on my focus, energy and mindset.
I am starting to consider calling it quits on dating and taking a 6 month break as I feel dating is interfering with my productivity and mindset, yet I do feel if I met the right girl she could be a huge asset for inspiration and sometimes much needed relaxation.
In the end my aspiration for financial independence (freedom) slightly supersedes my desire for a relationship and a family but I don’t want to miss the boat on having a family and according to even MJ the definition of wealth = Relationships & Family, Health and Freedom.
Thoughts?
Thanks
