What's your motivation?

[Jamie L.]

I'm just curious to see what motivates the people here to invest and to keep learning new things. I'm sure there will be lots of different reasons. My main motivation is, of course, money, but money that brings power and respect. I'm tired of being treated like a dumb kid, i want to get out there and do things...and impress people, too. :oops: I'm also motivated by how much free time I could be having and how many cool gadgets I could have. I'm sure a lot of people feel the same way, but is this enough to be inspired for the whole nine yards, or is it too shallow of a reason?
can't wait to hear what you guys have to say!
