I have money and a car, yet I'm still miserable.

A little background information

I was born and raised in south central L.A. where poverty and crime are abundant. I grew up in poverty most of my life which forced me to make my own money. It was in my middle high school years when I started making money (legally) however I could. I managed to create my own small business where I made probably more than the average person in my neighborhood. No one knows about this besides my family since I have few friends who dont even know me very well. To make a long story short I have a nice car (fixed-up 96 honda accord) and enough money to buy whatever I want but I still dwell in my own pitty. I am in my way back up as I have posted before and was wondering if I should use this money in some way to my advantage.

I know this is going to sound lame, but having money and stuff isn't going to make you happy. Just remember that you're better off than a lot of people in your neighborhood.

My best advice would be to save up and try to move out when you can. Move out and surround yourself with succesful people.

Just curious, what exactly did you do to go from poverty to riches? I'm sure everyone's wondering. : )

It doesn't sound like he's rich. It just sounds like he's doing ok. I mean, a 'fixed-up' 96 accord isn't exactly something a CEO would drive. But continue to prosper and grow your business. That's important to life. Being in charge of a large business (being a self-made man) always attracts women, as some women are attracted to men in power and of course some straight to money.

Read this site about all the tips and such to become a DJ, and you might just find the right girl for you along the way. Continue to grow your business and do well in school, work, etc. and remember you can't buy happiness, you have to earn it.

repeat...what did you do to get all that money?? curious

and money can make you happy. sorry, its true lol. well the money itself doesnt do anything, but with it you can afford opportunities with girls that most guys cant. you can dress nicely, get a nice car, go to the gym, etc. you can afford to go out most nights, and you can pay for gas etc. plus u get to honestly use the pickup line "i'm not really this tall, i'm just sitting on my wallet"

so? go out some.

got a cellphone? good man. head out to public (safe/non LA gang infested) places and meet people. go out with your boys. meet girls, hand them the cell and tell them to put their number in. it isnt that hard, ecspecially when you have a car to pick them up and ****. you've got opportunities that i dont have, and im a working class kid in a pretty good neighborhood. good job on making something of yourself.

so uh ps.- what kinda business did you start? lol

I stated selling candy in the 9th grade. I saved all the money and with my computer knowledge I managed to form a partnership with my also young cousin to start a computer repair shop. And thats just my main business.
