   Do what I did, cuntface.  Work, get tertiary educated, buy your first   
   house when you're 19, progressively sell & buy better & better &   
   larger houses in better & better neighbourhoods, save like fuck for   
   your old age (although pricks like you rarely make it to savour your   
   old, retired, self funded old age), marry a good looking Euro woman   
   who can COOK!, have kids then fuck them off to make their own lives,   
   travel the world and travel your own psyche, experiment with sex &   
   drugs & rock 'n roll, think, pontificate, philosophise, keep working   
   but when you stop, stop and never go back, work for yourself in lieu
