One thing to remember is never pass up a life experience, if its available do it, no amount of money can replace those opportunities.

Remember more money is printed everyday, but one in a lifetime experiences only come around... once in a lifetime.

There is such a thing as balance here folks!

I consciously started to tip the balance and began to spend more of my money and spend more of my time playing.

The funny part is that the less I have worked, the more money I have made. For me this was not a coincidence, now my work is more focused and it has a real purpose... greater enjoyment of life - which is a lot more inspiring that an bulging bank account.
