Being a business economist, I was trained to think in terms of cost and yield, how to make a profit in business. That world is entirely about money. I worked for some large companies in the Netherlands, neckties and three piece suits, main office, millions at stake. These companies easily payed 100 to 250 dollars an hour. I was making good money, more than I could spend. But often in summer, when it was 30 degrees in the shade, I would sit at my desk and think ‘What happened to my life ? This is not who I am…’.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

One day I got my head out of my ass, I lost the drive to work, and I quit. Time for a big reboot. One of the local temp agencies ran an ad ‘the best you can be is yourself’. I took that one to heart. I needed to figure out what was bugging me. I took some time to resolve my personal matters. I found out who I actually am, where I belong, and worked for the Brotherhood for years, for the Germanic House. That was quite a ‘spiritual’ venture. It is a world where money does not matter. I learned what it means to be human and met some of the coolest people on the planet.<\/p>

I sometimes said ‘whatever you own, owns you’. Back then I had no money, no house, I had cut all ties to my old life and lost contact with my old friends, I had two chests with personal belongings, scrapbooks from kindergarten and some family pictures, that’s all. But I was free, and I could just be myself and do what I felt like doing or needed to do. Nothing to tie me down or hold me back. Complete and utter liberty.<\/p>

Whilst working for the Brotherhood, I spent a few years working as painter and sailor. I didn’t make much money, barely enough to get by, but I thoroughly enjoyed and loved that life.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

At some point though, I had had my fill of that lifestyle and I\u00a0 started working as a bookkeeper. Back into the world of money, just different this time. I have matured a bit and am more conscious of myself.\u00a0<\/p>

And laudable as all the spiritual ideas and ideals are, it doesn’t hurt to have some money to throw around. We all have bills to pay. One thing I realized, I was not transacting other than selling labour hours for 10 dollars an hour that barely covered the cost of living. You make profit (or loss) when transacting. I needed to start transacting.<\/p>

I had a look around the web, checked out all the money makers, and decided on trading cryptocurrencies. On average, 9 out of 10 of my trades generate profit. I found out I am good at trading. It gave me what I wanted, a financial buffer, more financial security, some spend capacity. I am still used to living a 10-dollar lifestyle though. I once thought if I made some real money, I would go on a spending spree and live in the lap of luxury. But I have grown accustomed to living a very basic lifestyle, with little or no luxuries.\u00a0<\/p>

I have seen both sides of life, and well, currently I am somewhere in between, trying to combine the two lifestyles.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t
