My idea lifestyle would require at least $15,000 a month. Now that is my idea life needed income. Do I make that now. No. Can I in the future? YES... working on it now.
In fact, starting several different income streams to achieve the life style that $15,000 a month or more can buy.
Hmm, lets see... $15,000, then I'll get hit with 30% in taxes maybe, leaving me with around $11,000 to spend or invest as I desire.
Hope to achieve massive results in 2010!

It all depends on what each individual considers an ideal lifestyle. To me, an ideal lifestyle is one in which I am self reliant. The more income my lifestyle requires, the more reliant I am on others (the income has to come from somewhere). I also believe that happiness is easier to achieve with a less materialistic mindset. I believe that the more material goods we have, the more unhappy we are likely to be. In certain parts of the country (such as the area of Southeastern Kentucky where I grew up), people live's took a dramatic turn for the worst once they got a taste of "store bought goods". You had people who had best self-sustaining for years who suddenly became attracted to acquiring money to buy things, and threw their happiness away in the process.
