Money isn't everything, but it is darn near everything. I firmly believe in the profit motive. Never do I want to be unable to afford something I need... an education for my children, a good standard of living for my family, and able to show them the world that I've experienced so far.

My goal is to create several companies in various industries. I want to spend 3-4 years on a company and turn it self-suffient, and then turn it over to people to run it for me. I'll keep the majority of the shares. This will allow me to reach my real goal: to have enough capital so that I can live off interest and dividends after I turn 40. Ya... my goal is to retire by 40, and then do what I want to do. Archeology... history... languages...

edit: oh and, business administration and accounting (my major and minor) are extremely helpful to running businesses. I'm in a race with my brother and his friend. They've incorporated one company (graphics design) and are profitable. I've incorporated my own company (software writing) which is profitable, but I need to do some more marketing. I want to incorporate a second company, but I want to do that in Delaware where taxes and legislation are more favorable. I don't think it is so easy if I didn't know how to do books. My brother has to pay me to make sure his company's taxes are done properly.
