Wealth and reasonable lifestyle Steve,
I'm a bit concerned. You say your site earns $40k a month and that you've acquired $200k since early this year as a result of saving, investing and the valuation of various assets. If I'm doing the math correctly, I think that would mean that you are spending upwards of $23k a month.
For all I know you may be donating the majority of this money to charity, but at that price tag, I think it's time to seriously think about starting your own charity or granting organization. I think you should at least request scientific evaluations from your charities to make sure your money is going where it is supposed to go and the charities are actually promoting something effective. At 5 figures you can be considered a major organizational stakeholder and you should request some sort of accountability.
If most of the $23k is going to living expenses, I want you to seriously think about materialism and this statement: "98% of all pollution and energy usage happens pre-consumer."
take care. |
