i would be happier if i didnt have to worry about bills, but the happiness i achieve on a daily basis has nothing to do with money, but the people i surround myself with

We're most happy when we're out of debt. Until then, more money = more happy.

it's subjective.
like jasonturbo says... when you make more money than you know what to do with.
the more macro your perspective of the world, the more money you'll need.

Giggalo's make money like motha fuckas .
I'd say given the cost of living in Vancouver is quite high, 250k should be sufficient to grant you the privilege of saying that you make money like a mothafucka. Posted via RS Mobile |

I was going to say, I think I will forever be in debt, because I have so much I want to do.
I have an idea for a public art installation that would probably cost, wild guessing, 50k-100k. However, if I were to ever be able to build it, the value to me would be priceless.

though the lyric is gettin money like a mofucka, what he means is spending money like a mofucka
rappers, pro ballers, and the average young american douchebag, all go bankrupt, broke or something in between, at some point. Ok, 95% of them do. This is because they make money then don't save and spend like a mofucka. Typical rap star - cars on lease, watches for cash, houses for rent, popping bottles and no savings in the bank. End of the day when they lose it, they can't afford to pay their damn taxes and go to jail. Gettin' cock in the ass like a mofucka
if antoine walker make 105 million, went bankrupt and lost it all, vs. someone who makes $14 an hour and manages to save 80% of it, person B has a 20% greater return than antoine walker.
a person who pays his bills, is free of debt, has a comfortable life, enjoys luxuries, yet still has enough to retire and is happy. In vancouver, that's often asking too much. so THAT is gettin money like a mofucker.

antoine walker is now poor but at least he experienced a great lifestyle in the prime of his life where a $14 wage slave will always be poor.

heard on HipHopNation on SiriusXM the IRS now has a team specially targeting rappers who are gettin money like a mothafucka and avoiding taxes like a mothafucka.
they listed off all the rappers who have been to jail, are in jail, or are going to jail, for tax evasion, and the list was astounding.
edit:
just a couple quick ones:
Fat Joe is heading to jail and owes $718,038
Ja Rule in jail for $1.1 million
Beanie Sigel for $728,000
Lauren Hill
Methond Man
Nas had to pay $3mill
Hell, even Lil Wayne himself has been in tax trouble at least a few times for a million.
and everyones heard about Wesley Snipes going to jail for owing $15million

For someone truly "getting" like a mofo, this person shouldn't be working at all.
I have met many people who clear 7 figures through their work. But they have very little personal time. Their work occupy pretty much every minute of their waking hours. What is the point? I have 0 desire of becoming one of them.
On the other hand, there are another bunch of people I know that don't clear 7 figures, but usually in the high 6s, they do nothing but play mahjong, drink old school Chinese tea and travel every day.

At $10 a pop, ($7 for her, $3 for Amazon), that's already over 1.4million she made on her own.
Her book sold because of the outrageousness. If the boundary for acceptable graphic content is 10, her book was a 24. The writing itself is pretty bad, but she admits she's never written before this.
So Jason, hopefully your ebook will push those boundaries as well!

A bunch of dudes in the adult business make 7 figures yearly, but they're the most sterile and boring individuals you'd ever meet. YouJizz's owner has the style and flair of a Walk-in Clinic waiting room.
Another thing, many of the biggest earners in adult... are short men.

I think if my first 3 books don't do well, I'm going to publish the most intensely sexually violent novel I can write. I'll write it with the same linoleum prose she used, but push the limits of legality and taste. If people simply want titillation from the extreme, I can do that. Quote:
So Jason, hopefully your ebook will push those boundaries as well! | First novel is about modern dating and one man's attempt at getting what he wants from it.(Fair amount of sex
Second novel is about a fashion designer struggling with her confidence and bisexuality.(Fair amount of sex)
Third novel is about a space DJ and three lizard aliens trying to find the right musical notes to hatch an egg as a party of a religious rite in their culture.(No sex)
Books are a way to get money like a muthafucka, but you really have to get into the consciousness of what people are thinking.
Lady Gaga is brilliant in how she coined "Born this way" and a whole movement adopted it.
Maybe a novel based upon the US government taking away people's guns. Maybe a big tittied polyamorous MILF with a black husband, they have guns and they have to defend themselves from both the Tea Party racists, AND ghetto thugs, all while I sprinkle interracial swinger sex throughout the book.
