Hi All,
I kindly request your compassion and advice/guidance for this seemingly insurmountable issue of mine. Long story short, I had started small businesses even before I read MJ's books which turned out to be valuable experiences. Have good education, had some stellar jobs and frugal lifestyle where I could save more than 80% of my salary. Got into a CENT business few years ago(nice migration) but got into issues with government and had to shut it down despite trying to change the focus and market. I couldn't come up with ~300k needed to be independent. Another learning experience. Some of the savings were gone by this and some gone down into inflation/assets loosing value etc due to global changes. Meanwhile the real bummer was the slowly increasing migraines which later turned out to be cluster headaches, wanting to kill myself every time it strikes much like the statistics say. But thankfully/unfortunately it literally paralyses me on bed so this hasn't happened yet. In desperation, I have tried all sorts of treatment which I could afford from English medicines, ayurveda, chinese, reflexology, poster, divine healing,prayer, astrology based,homeo,accupuncture,tibetan, past lives, channeling etc etc etc. I didn't blink when I had to vomit for 3 days straight to remove toxins from body, drink own urine daily for months or only on boiled rice(not even salt) for a month; it's not as bad as that pain. Somedays I think I should just end it but then the teachers say accrued karma would make it even worse in the next. I am not lazy, could work for days on straight before this happened and is still driven when I can.
Now while that sucks, what can I really do to be rich? My target is 3M$ which would be enough for this life. What can I practically do in this situation to get there with this handicap?
TLDR: Have some business experience , decent education, works hard but have severe pain enough to contemplate ending this life. I want to make 3M$ which is enough to buy a small house in a rural/remote place and have rest for bills.
Any guidance/direction is appreciated.
