In the process of trying to be a future whales you could lost everything,trust me this got me no where and I realized that I've lost tons of money because I was never contented, be smart and always take advantage of any project that brings you profit, do not stare at your wallet and say 'im gonna be rich in 3 years later' this is 1% out of 100% chance that it's ever going to happen, remember, been rich isn't the most important part of our lives but living a good life is.
I'd rather stay right in between, greed isn't the devil here as it can be a perfect tool if you know how to use it right but been too much greedy is where things can go horribly wrong, there is sentence that goes like this 'half bread is better than none' right? Sometimes it's just better to be contented with what you have, money won't make anyone feel contented, you can be happy for a short period of time when you buy fancy things but that's it.
