How hard is it to become a millionaire?
After I left the Air Force I was dirt poor. I roamed hotel corridors stealing food left outside the room doors. I took 5lb. block of government cheese. I bought 5¢ cans of food that had big dents or no labels. I lived on L.A. skid row, ate 20¢ hot dogs and slept in “nudie” theaters that showed nudist films 24 hours a day for 50¢. The owner came around all night with half a broomstick to tap sleepers on the head to wake them up. I made a fishing rod and a lure made out of a can opener with a double hook screwed on to catch food in Playa Del Rey. I stole food from women I dated and even used their cars to date other women. My “car” was an old bread truck with a 4 cylinder engine I bought for $100 from a finance company. I had NOTHING tangible. But I did have an idea. I “knew” I would be wealthy. There was no question in my mind. I KNEW it. And I became wealthy. I retired at 45 and again at 49 when I accidentally started a company that earned $300,000 a month. What happened? How did I do it? I wasn’t the only one. I met several wealthy people over the years. All of them knew they would be rich. It seems to be a mental thing, something that allows you to move forward no matter what crap happens in your life. The bad stuff is just stuff to get past. You move forward because it is your destiny. You KNOW you will “make it”. This isn’t hope or want, this is certainty. You don’t hope for wealth, you don’t just “want” it, you WILL have it. It is hard to explain. It is as real as the fingers on your hand. It becomes part of you. You seem to find the right path out of all sorts of options. I don’t know how to get that certainty. I think I had it for as long as I can remember, so did the other wealthy people I met. So, no suggestions other than to try and develop the mentality to have it. A mental trick? Perhaps.

Why do women demand respect from men, but are unwilling to give it in return?
And Angel Baby, **** you. I don't care if my question offended YOU or not, because you are a hypocritcal liar. You say you never disrespect men. *****, you just disrespected me in your snarky *** answer! I am trying to do something with my motherfuckin life, unlike your kind of women that want to freeload off a hardworking man but play the she-man type when you get good and goddamn ready.. I am so ************* sick and tired of women like you coming at us hella foul with that 'what happened in you past' **** whenever we try to stand up for ourselves. I have been shot, burned, stabbed, stomped, tortured, frozen, thrown off buildings, and jailed - 95 percent of the time a WOMAN was involved SOMEHOW. And I'm not supposed to be MAD about this? I don't have time for psychoanalysis bullshit from wanna-be sociolologist/women's studies majors/pyschologists such as yourself. That's what happened in my life. And I got a lady who doesn't challenge human nature. She knows her place and I mine
Do women really make 77 cents for every dollar men earn?
I watch a lot of CNN and lately they've been throwing around this statistic that in 2014 men still earn a lot more than women. I've worked several jobs for over 20 years, both "mc jobs" and jobs requiring my college education. I've never heard or seen someone making more than a female for the same position. It just doesn't happen in my world. Can you site some jobs where men make more than women? Is this 77 cent figure calculating the fact that women are more likely to be secretaries or house cleaners while men are more likely to go into leadership. The only way I can understand this fact to be true is if we take the salary of all the men divided by the number of men and weigh that against the salary of all the women divided by the number of women. Even then it doesn't take into account that women represent a less experienced labor force due to the fact that many stay home and/or raise children leaving huge gaps in employment experience.
Why do you think it is denigrating to a woman/girl who is sexually active without being in a committed relationship, even when the same thing is rather beneficial to a male's reputation and it's also something they want (male here)?
Who do you assume has workes harder, the million dollar heir or the man who has built up a million dollar company and now makes a million? Unless you're being willfully ignorant, you'll assume that the man who built from the ground up worked harder for his money. Why? Because he worked for it.When it comes to females and relationships they hold a LOT of power. First world countries just spoil them and make the situation worse. Point is men, on average have to work to get sex. They have to work to get it and they have to work during to be good at it. Females can honestly just show up and spread their legs, put no effort in and still determine if the ENTIRE transaction was a good one in the public. You don't congradulate people born into rich families, but you do people who had nothing and fought and clawed for what they wanted and made it happen.Because men HAVE to work for it, they are held to a different standard.
How much do tennis players make?
Although you ask a very simple question . . . the answer is in fact complex. Do you mean strictly from prize money? A player in the Top 20 on both the ATP & WTA tours made as much as $8 million and as little as $2 million . . . in 2012. If you meant total earnings from prize money, appearance fees and endorsements . . . ? In 2012, Roger Federer made more than $70 million dollars . . . Maria Sharapova lead all female athletes with more than $25 million followed by Serena Williams with $23 million . . . sooooo, a professional tennis player can reasonably expect to make about 4 times their prize money in endorsements & appearance fees . . . WOW! None of those figures include their outside-of-tennis business ventures and investments . . . The net worth of the tennis players at the top of the pecking order, borders upon the RIDICULOUS! . . . Federer is worth north of $180 million, Nadal - $80 million, Serena - $100 million, Venus - $80 million and Sharapova - $90 million . . . the modern tennis player, who does well, can live like an old-school tycoon . . . if managed properly.
