Operation: $$ accumulation

what sort of race are you training for? marathon?

I'm guessing from the tone of your intro post (and the fact you're still grinding) that you think the life of a full time grinder > working a standard job. what's life after poker look like for you? how appealing would a job have to be to go back to the workforce?

interesting, cool. Recently I was talking about where i want to be in 5yrs from now. It includes being financially liquid enough that i only have to work when i choose to. I want to be involved in working on projects that i think matter. It is looking more and more like there may need to be a year or two of working a regular job to get there.

* lifestyle is one of the aspects that matters. An example. Today is Tuesday. I went out for a 2hr run this morning, i'm meeting my girlfriend for lunch soon, i'll play a couple of hours this afternoon, then i'm going climbing with a bunch of friends.
* the fact that i chose to live in the same cities as my girlfriend the last couple of years = i can't really work doing what i do cos of initially language, and now cos of small town -> limited work that would be fun.
* re how appealing a job would have to be. That's a little complicated. I really enjoy the work i do when i'm doing it. And it pays pretty damn well. But i typically end up pulling solid hours while i'm doing it. And life outside of work suffers. Not sure.

Relevant is that my girlfriend is finished study for a while now. So we're both free to go wherever, do whatever. I think we'll end up at a wedding in germany then heading on a climbing roadtrip through southern europe for a few months to avoid the NZ winter. Then? maybe i'll do some contract work for a while, or maybe i'll somehow have got good at poker. I'm fascinated at what may end up happening
