- 40 next month
- Software - I finally got out of semiconductor earlier this year...slowly learning a new industry.
I've played mostly 3-6 recreationally online for a loooooong time. Time spent has been greatly reduced since I met my wife (this is a good thing).
- Married a little over a year, no kids
- She's a golf nut, we like to travel, it's been a blast. The only complaint I have at this time is that I've injured my shoulder playing golf. I'm reluctant to get it looked at...maybe over the winter.

These threads are cool. Really interesting.

-Age: 20

-Occupation: student. currently in London for my junior year abroad. For poker, I currently play NL25-50, NL100 HU, $6-$16 sngos, pretty much whatever I feel like. I have way too much poker money for the limits I currently play, but I've never really tried to move up and I'm scared to try. Don't really like playing poker.

-Family: single.

-Happy? Ya sure. I'm sorta stressed out about school right now, but it should all work out and I'll have a degree that should look good on a resume. I'm currently learning Thai because I might want to do graduate work and/or live in Thailand. I'm happy with that and the fact that I can watch episodes of Pinky and the Brain on my computer.

My plan was similar to XXXNoahXXX in that I wanted to make a ton of money then work for a charity or just travel. Two potential problems that I see:
1. What is a "ton" of money?
2. Amassing money might adversely affect me. When I was doing really well in poker I bought the most pointless [censored] and my general attitude toward money was not what I'd like it to be. I don't want to make a lot of money if it will cause me to want to buy a huge house or a sick car.

- 20 years old
- Currently living on my own and working full time with the local municipal school district doing tech work. The pay is very good and the job is very slack. Perfect for me.
- Working towards a tech diploma
- I play 200nl, and looking to go as far as I can with poker. Ideally I'd play it full time, but who knows. For now it's just side income, so I can indulge in my balla ways.
- I have a girlfriend who is smoking hot, however she's in high school. It's a brag and a beat...a breat i guess.

I'm very happy with my life, however I don't think I'm the kind of person who can work 9-5 for my entire life...and even right now, just making it through school is difficult. Not because I'm stupid, but because I just hate it and I have no motivation to finish.

In any case, I'm fully confident I'll succeed in life somehow, I'm just not sure on the details yet.
