So I'm 35, doing well financially though I'm working more hours than I'd like with little time left for anything else. Homeowner for a decade this year, walked away with $70k last year, shooting for 75-80 this year and should have all debt (except mortgage) paid off by Summer. Have a kid, pay support, have rights to him, get to play dad ~5 days/month. Free as a bird the rest of the time, but I'm kind of down on myself. I mean, I'm in shape, fairly healthy, though booze is a problem (just drink at home). 10 years ago things were a lot different in terms of mindset. I'm getting ready to "get back in the game" but I know things are not the same. If I'm going to do it, I'm going to do it well. So my question - and I might already know the answer - is what kind of game are we looking at today?
That is, what does it take to get your pick of the litter? Just $? How much? I'm ok in the face and body is solid, not particularly tall (5'10") but good enough. Confident in face-to-face interactions but I don't get out much (or ... at all). I guess I'm trying to figure out how to orient myself moving forward. I have an open invitation to basically work and earn as much as I want, but at the cost of what else? What's the "cost" of a 25 year old 8+? Sorry if this sounds mechanical, it's not, but I've been around enough to notice some patterns. I just think I need a bit of guidance in terms of what to expect realistically.
TIA
