During my latest trip I learned a lot about myself. I went back to the mountain town I used to live in for New Years and it made me realize what I want to do with my life. It made me realize that being happy is more important than making lots of money. I know plenty of people who have lots of money and do not enjoy life. They actually really suck at life to be quit honest (Not saying all people with money suck or hate life, just saying it doesn't necissarily make you happy). Money can't buy you everything, and it sure can't buy you happiness. I'm not saying I don't want money, and if presented with the chance to make lots of money, I would do it if it made me happy. I'm just saying making lots of money isn't my first priority anymore. I realized that what I really wanted was in front of me the whole time, and it took me leaving to realize it. The things I love in life are traveling, snowboarding, women, family, and friends. I'm gonna break down what I've learned about moving from here to Miami over the last year +.
First of all, let's start with women... The women in Miami are beautiful, but they have the worst attitudes of anywhere I've been, no comparison. In the summer, Colorado is pretty terrible for picking up. The ratios are horrendous and most of the cute foreigners leave. But in the winter it's a totally different story. If you recall my post about moving to Miami I stated how town was a cockfest and it got difficult to pick up during the summer.... I didn't know what difficult was until I moved to Miami. Yeah, Colorado does suck during the summer, but during the winter... HOLY SHIT!!! Wayyy too many pretty Brazilian and Argi girls. I think it gets better by the year as more and more Brazilians are coming. I couldn't believe the amount of beautiful women in the clubs this time around when I went out. Even the bars! Colorado barely even has clubs, they're at most club/lounges. The women are EXTREMELY friendly. It was like night and day coming from Miami. I couldn't believe it, I forgot what it was like to be somewhere where most of the girls are friendly. My friend mentioned something about women being happy in tourist towns and happy women love to fuck. I don't think one women I approached gave me a shitty attitude the whole time, every single women I approached was at least down to have a conversation with me and they were all at least friendly even if they didn't want to fuck me, where in Miami girls will really look at you like you are stupid for thinking you have a chance with them. They won't even talk to you, just look at you like you're dumb. I'm not saying all women in Miami are like this, but I definitely get this way too often. Maybe my swagger just isn't Miami, IDK. But the girls in Colorado love me. I guess when I went off about how bad the women were I was just sick of being in the summer drought. Now I realize it's worth going 4 1/2 months with not many women to game for the rest of the year when it's great. There aren't as many cute girls in aspen as miami, but they are much friendlier and there are plenty of cute girls reguardless, and most men suck at gaming here. They don't get how to game the Brazilian girls either. They don't realize the whole head turn deal Brazilian girls have. They think just because a girl doesn't initially kiss them then they don't stand a chance. Plus they just aren't aggressive enough. And not only are there Brazilian and Argi girls, but girls from just about everywhere in the world. Whatever flavor you like can be found in Colorado (Except black, we always joke when we see black people in town that we should ask for their autograph). Colorado in the whole world in a small town. Enough about the girls though, you get the point that the place has an abundance of beauties in the winter and during summer the place is pretty sub par. And just to give you an idea, on my 7 day trip I got two bangs. One was kinda lined up before hand, one wasn't.
Now travel: I moved to Miami thinking it would be easy for me to travel with plane tickets being so cheap. Sure, tickets are cheap, but when do I get the time to travel? And at most I could MAYBE get two weeks off at a time, but that's pushing it. 2 weeks isn't close to enough time to get to know a place. In Colorado, I get 6 weeks off every 6 months. Six weeks is plenty of time to stay somewhere and get a decent idea of it. Basically I get laid off for 6 weeks, can even collect unemployment, and when I get back from my trip, I have my job should I want to go back to it. I figure if I move back I'll spend 3 months a year traveling. That means for every 4 years I spend a year traveling. Not bad at all.
As far as friends, snowboarding and family go.... It's a no brainer I can't snowboard in Miami. While I have many friends in Miami, I don't have a whole lot of close friends, and it's hard to meet truly good, genuine people in Miami. I have many great and close friends in Colorado. I can go out solo any given day and I'll run into friends. I know half the town and it feels good going into a bar and getting recognition. It definitely helps with the women as well when you walk into a club and you know half the people in there. I have no family on the east coast period. My mom moved to Colorado a couple years after I did, plus most my aunts, uncles, and a couple cousins live close.
Here's what I'm thinking for my future....
I work in Miami until may. I'll look for jobs in Colorado that pay close to as much as I'm making now. Most places need to hire their summer crews so may is a perfect time to look to start working in June. I'd have to do a tip based job in all likeliness. I should have a decent amount of money saved, so I'll travel during may and show up in Colorado in June. During the summers, I'm gonna plan on working two jobs to save lots of money, why not if there isn't much going on anyways? I'll have my 6 weeks off, and travel. During the winter, snowboard all day, work at night, and game after work (Plus during snowboarding and the days off). Finish the winter, travel another month and a half. After 3 or 4 years I should have at least $40-50k saved, which gives me enough money to buy a property in Brazil. If I buy this property, I should be able to rent it out for at least 6-800 a month. Now I have a little more cash flow coming in. Repeat, do the same and buy another property in 3-4 years. After my second house, I'm gonna be making an additional $10-15k a year, which will speed up the process of buying more properties as long as I keep working hard. I realize you'd usually get taxed out the ass being a foreigner, but I'm gonna have that taken care of. At this rate I should be semi retired by 40 bringing in around 4k a month if not more, which is plenty for me.
A big part of me going to Miami was going to school and starting a career. But I've realized that's not what I want to do. Most people who go to college don't use their degrees unless it's something like a doctor or engineer. I don't wanna get stuck in the rate race. I'm a work to live type person, not live to work.
Who knows, maybe this is just a faze I'm going through, or maybe I've found out what I really want to do with life. I'm young, but this really just feels right. I realize Colorado has most everything that makes me happy. And that I'm not guaranteed to be happy just because I graduate school and hope to get a job making 70k a year with 2 weeks vacation.
I like Miami. It's not my favorite place, but I make what I can out of it, and I make it fun. But it just doesn't have much of what I'm looking for. Nowhere has EVERYTHING I'm looking for, but Colorado's damn close, and a lot closer than Miami.
Anyone else ever been at this point in your life, where you had to make a major decision that's going to basically change the coarse of your life? What were your choices and what did you decide? Anyone can give their two cents on what they think. I appreciate constructive criticism.
Edit: Colorado= a specific mountain town in CO, I just didn't say the name of that town because it would be easy to figure out my identity if I did. If you wanna know more pm me. I'm sure many of you already know where I'm talking about.

But you are absolutely right, it's not gonna be easy, it's gonna be a lot of work, but so will the alternatives, so why not do what's gonna make me happy while I'm working on it ya know?
