As you say, people who think in terms of life milestones (e.g. your 'wife + baby' and/or 'exotic hotels' examples) miss the point ... your life is about what you DO not what you HAVE. ... the DO part is about legacy: what, if anything, do you want to be remembered for? The financial part of this is simply asking: how much will it COST (time and/or money) and by WHEN? @ Alex – Thanks for your comment.

The reason why there are only few people who are rich is because the majority of them does not feel to get rich. They want to be rich, but they don't feel compelled enough to get rich. Not having to work is a direct result from the financial freedom that person wealth brings back, not because not having to work means you are rich. From the lyrics, "I wouldn’t have to work hard diddy diddy dum". One doesn't have to if s/he doesn't want to. Live small and don't spend anything so he doesn't have to work. This are people whom others would call "homeless" or a bum. However, they do find their own utopia and the exotic 1000-star, outdoor hotels and never have to work, again (society as a whole picks up the tab for these people since they are not producing, i.e. slaving to the system) I talked to many people about my goals and dreams. Most of them responded with some kind of surprise and get back to their work. Some even admits that they have NO desire to be rich one day. All he wants is to have food for his wife and the baby. Talking about the fisherman and the investment banker :). Going to Startup School 2008 and listened to DHH (David, the Rails guy) gave me such inspiration and the more reasons to go forward with my plans. ...If I were a biddy biddy rich… I would still play harder than I am now... AJC,
