For about 10 years of my life money did sort of corrupt me. I went from making about $75k per year, to making over $75k per week. I lost touch with reality because I no longer had to think about money and I could pretty much do and buy anything and anyone I wanted. Me blowing $10k at clubs every weekend became a regular thing. I had a posse of friends and hot chicks that pretty much did whatever I wanted. I guess for about 8-10 years I lived a rock star or pro athlete type lifestyle and I am not going to lie it was a lot of fun, I have no regrets. For about 5 years I had parties at my house every weekend that lasted all night and into the morning with strippers dancing naked in my backyard, drugs, sex and fun all night long. But like everything in life all good things come to an end and I am glad that it all ended. Am I happy now? Well I am happy that I am now back in touch with reality and what is important in life, and I have learned that money is not happiness and cannot buy you happiness. True happiness is a state of mind, if you are not happy without money you will not be happy with money either.
