This is a part of the April A to Z Challenge. My theme is my Bucket List. Read more about the project here. The other things on my bucket list are Ancient Ruins, Book, Coffee Shop, Date a Supermodel, Entrepreneurship, (Be a) Finisher, Give Away my Wealth, Handle a Baby, Inspire, Jack of all trades and Keep my shirt on.
Next is M. M for Mint money like its nobody’s business. Make money. A lot of it. Make wealth. I have spoken about money and wealth in a previous post (G) and hence I wont talk about em too much.
But one of the things on my bucket list is to get insanely rich. Insanely rich as reach the levels of Bill and Warren.

Its no secret that I want to be successful. So successful that its nobody’s business. So, I need an indicator for it. Could money be that indicator?
Money, as an indicator, is tangible, comparable and is easy to comprehend. Everything else, happiness, impact, job creation, satisfaction, learning, fame etc have some degree of intangibility. In fact look at the top three in the list above. 2 of those 3 are my heroes. Not a bad number. And if all goes well, someday I’d end up near the top of that list. Probably in the top three. If I can do that, I would have done a lot of things from my bucket list. A, C, D, E, F, G, I and K. 8 of 11. Again not a bad number.
Both “not a bad number”s indicate that money may be a worthy proxy for success. And thus, the next thing on my bucket list is, make money. A lot of it.
Unless someone points at a better alternative. Can you?
While writing this, I realized that words aren’t flowing as smooth as they ought to. Writer’s block? I dont know! I am planning a four hour writing/editing marathon for #tnks tomorrow morning. Lets see how it goes.
