Haha I had thought by saying I changed a goal from a jet to a toy jet, that we could continue with the thread. But yes, I do have a plan and its not some con job, screw the pilgrims, chase a profit and flip houses/stocks to become rich. I do actually have a plan, but I'm obviously not going to reveal it for a number of reasons.

Look at the types of people becoming multi-millionaires and billionairs, they didn't work at a job and save up to become a millionaire at 60. Its not that uncommon to see < 35 year olds become wealthy and successful. I'm not sure exactly if what I'm going to do is going to work, and there are factors out of my control, but for now, I guess we'll see where this goes.

The job bit you keep harping on... let just say, there's a few reasons I don't have a job now and some here know. At this stage, I was only willing to take a job that was directly related to my career, otherwise, I thought there would be better things to do with my time. Generally, my income does not require a job for the (cheap ass) lifestyle I'm living and for how I currently live, it is more or less self-sustaining, so I guess I'm working towards other things rather then just taking any random job. Lets just leave it at that.
