Another day in Skycoin Paradise...

Greetings from Skycoin Paradise! Of course, Skycoin Paradise isn't a geographical place, but a state of mind. No matter where I go, whether to the gas station to fill up my Toyota Tundra or just going to grab some groceries, I feel like I’m in paradise. I suppose being able to get as much gas or groceries as I want, without worrying about the cost, puts me in a steady state of bliss and tranquility. My friends and family have certainly noticed it too. Even yesterday when I was snowboarding with Andrew he mentioned to me, “You certainly look a lot happier since you quit your job at Lowe’s.”

Who wants to make snow angels after we get out?

But the real reason for my perpetual state of happiness isn’t simply because I quit a job I hated. This type of happiness is a result of being financially independent. For instance, just take a look at my day today. I wake up when I feel like getting up, and not when my alarm clock tells me to (no slopes today). I go straight from my bed into the hot tub to relax for a little bit and soak my quads after yesterday's long day of snowboarding. Yes, I know it’s not technically “hygienic” to bathe in my hot tub, but it’s my hot tub, so it’s my rules. Plus I put enough chlorine in their to kill anything ranging from a germ to a large insect. And as a bonus, it gives my dark hair a nice golden hue. Is that too much chlorine?

After a suitable amount of time soaking in the tub, I have the urge to check out my investment portfolio and see how my Skycoin investments are doing. Skycoin hit $18; it looks like the couple of screen taps I made on my phone during the ski lift ride yesterday made me about $3000 profit. That state of bliss just got a little more blissful. I pop some clothes on, hop in the Tundra, and I’m off to go spend some of that Skycoin money. It’s 10:30 in the morning and now comes the hardest decision of the day: breakfast or lunch? For some reason a nice hibachi grilled steak feels like a nice compromise. I could make a compelling argument that it’s just a thicker and beefier version of bacon.

Brunch is over and I haven’t even made a dent in the $3K Skycoin gave me from yesterday's ski lift trade. I need to hurry up and start spending faster and bigger. I bathed and put on clothes: that’s enough work to deserve a massage. I head over to the Turkish Rain Rub & Scrub for a nice back massage and a sit in the steam room. They only charge $300 for an hour, so I’ll have to leave a big tip if I’m going to consider myself an effective spender by the end of the day. As I get a deep tissue massage by a lovely woman named Azra, I think to myself “this is much better than stacking lumber in aisle 10.”

"It's on me baby!"

Now keep in mind, $3K is just the profit from the trade I made on the ski lift. My entire Skycoin investment portfolio actually made much more than that, but I'll leave that for another post. I’ve been massaged and steamed, and now it’s time for dinner. Ever since I got wealthy from Skycoin, I’ve never had to eat a meal alone unless I wanted to. There something about the phrase “it’s on me” that attracts all kinds of friends, old and new. I call up my friend Danny and invite him to meet me at Rioja for some of best grilled lamb loin this side of the Atlantic Ocean. I remind him that my girlfriend and some of her friends are going to be there. I also remind him “it’s on me.”

The fresh truffles that were served with the lamb loin were scrumptious. Before Skycoin, I didn’t even know what truffles were; I was pretty certain that they came in a cardboard box at the checkout of Wal-Mart. After another delicious plate of Mediterranean cuisine and some good conversation with friends, it’s time to head home. My only problem is that I haven’t even come close to spending my $3K in Skycoin profits. I guess I’ll just have to reinvest back into more Skycoin. That’s what I love about Skycoin, even though it is generating money for me like a broken ATM, it’s still at crazy bargain prices. For a split second, I think about going back to the Turkish spa to give Azra an extra $2000 tip, but it’s probably closed now. Oh well! And there you have it, that’s a typical Wednesday in Skycoin paradise!
