Comments on: Investment Series Preview: The “Good Bye and F__k You” Letter http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2008/10/18/investment-series-preview-the-good-bye-and-f__k-you-letter/ Tim Ferriss's 4-Hour Workweek and Lifestyle Design Blog Fri, 19 Mar 2010 05:27:49 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Yadgyu http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/2008/10/18/investment-series-preview-the-good-bye-and-f__k-you-letter/comment-page-1/#comment-42292 Yadgyu Sat, 20 Jun 2009 04:17:34 +0000 http://www.fourhourworkweek.com/blog/?p=717#comment-42292 This letter means very little to the everyday man. There is just no way most of us on Earth can get rich and stop working. This guy is lucky. Most of us are too busy with working for a living to fantasize about walking away from a multimillion dollar job. I have read Tim's book, and I agree with most of the principals in there. But it is highly unlikely that I will invent some product or gain some investment that pays me a handsmoe passive income. I wish that I could, but it will not happen. We all come to this site to read about interesting people and to take our minds off of "reality". But the truth is that people like us in the trenches allow people like hedge fund managers and other wealthy tycoons to stop working and talk crazy about the world. I can bet any amount of money that this guy would not have such radical views if he were making around $40,000 a year like me. This letter means very little to the everyday man.

It seems no matter what your view if you hang onto it long enough you will be lucky or smart. Getting out when you should just isn't possible for most of us unless we are really lucky or smart. Rick Lucky or smart…

You will need a hosted version (not the free wordpress blog from wordpress.com) that you can put on a server, and either purchase, build, or download a free template for the blog. My website was done from a wordpress template, (click on my name to see it) and turned out very well. I agree this 4hww blog looks great, and is quite comfortable to navigate. Mitesh,
