Not sure about marriage right now. I don’t have a house but own a condo, that still hasn’t straightened me out ![]()
Truth be told, I am LOVING the life. The money flexibility, the fact that I can check out the newest restaurants, and buy “things.”
I do try to balance out by increasing donations to the right causes, but I still feel guilty. I mean I work hard, but so do millions of people. The difference is that they have families, need the money to survive, and are pretty much being paid horrible wages.
You know that during the latest economic meltdown, I-Banking was hit pretty hard, a lot of layoffs, people worried. I was pretty calm about it all because I realized that even if I were let go, I have a business on the side and would be able to devote more time to the real estate development venture with my uncle. I have been working since I was 16, so having an involuntary break in work wouldn’t have been so bad. I had even checked out a few year long Islamic studies fellowships in Saudi Arabia, but alas they kept me on ![]()
