>>I have a recipe for anybody who wants to make $250K (maybe I should write a book <g>). Get up at 5:30 am or 6:00 am. Go to the gym. Then work about 10-12 hours trying to be productive. Think of ways you can advance yourself in your company. If your company does not offer the opportunity, start your own. Do that about 6-7 days a week. Stop watching dumb tv shows. Stop smoking pot, drinking and eating in excess. Stop listening to the liberal establishment that the government should take care of you. Anybody following my plan can make $250K (not in a week or a month; it takes years to get to this level).

I don't agree with you regarding "raw ability." But I agree with you that not everybody will make this kind of money. There is certain luck involved or karma or whatever one may call it. But striving for this number (or whatever number each has in mind) - without thinking that the government will "get" you if you reach this goal - is what I am for.
