Hi,

I've been on this forum some time now, but haven't taken the time to properly introduce myself.

I'm Matt, a web developer from Croatia, just turned 38, have a loving wife and two beautiful children 2 yo boy and 6 mo girl.
Other than business pretty happy and blessed in life - like Joe Walsh said: I can't complain but sometimes I still do! :)

Professionally - sad to admit I'm a slow laner, wage slave, working 9-5, hitting myself on the head for every missed and squandered opportunity up until now (and there have been COUNTLESS), BUT HEY looking to change that any day now... It's really hard, but this forum keeps me in perspective and gives me hope - kicking myself in the butt has been hard and time flies!

I've got a master's degree in CS, but I've mostly done web development for the past 20 years. Professionally, I've also done custom programming, graphic design, logo design, photo/video editing, etc. Privately, I love to cook, I do jiu jitsu, I play guitar, I do outdoor photograpy (mostly portraits), like to spend time with my family, like animals and nature.

I have a very curious mind so it's very easy for me to get enthusiastic and interested in topics but then slowly lose focus, procrastination is my biggest enemy.

As I get older I'm more and more assured of the things I've thought about when I was in my 20s but for some reason ignored (or rather fooled myself with action faking and not setting or tracking goals):
  • that this is not the life I want to live
  • I don't want to trade my time for money anymore
  • I don't want to be limited by either
Currently thinking about ways in which i can create most value, and also, even though I know it's the wrong perspective - the fastest way to get rich - as I want to buy a specific property for me and my family to live at, asap. The property is currently not for sale (i don't have the money anyways) but I believe that could change if I had obscene amounts of money to offer, so I will use this opportunity to state my current overly ambitious goals:
  • 5M euros in my bank account in the next 5 years (that's 3k per day lol, got to aim somewhere right? :inpain:)
  • make 10 euros in a weeks time (do Rep bucks count? haha)

So if anyone of the forum needs help in the following topics, feel free to reach out: PHP, Javascript, React, HTML, CSS, Wordpress, SQL, websites, webshops, ecommerce, plugins, APIs, REST, AI integration, databases.

The Fastlane is the dream, hopefully we can all get there!

Peace out!
