Anthony Pompliano talks about how his financial goals evolved from wanting $2,000 a month as a student to $1 million, and weighs the trade-off between pursuing singular excellence and being very good at multiple things while actually enjoying life.
Easy question. What's the endgame for you? I've always said one day I'm just gonna stop the internet. I just genuinely want to like enjoy my life. And so I remember sitting in class and I was supposed to be paying attention, but I was talking to somebody and they were like, yo, what are you gonna do when we get outta here? If I could make $2,000 a month, I'm set forever. Right? Like for a college kid, like you're rich if you're doing that. Right. And like, that literally was like my mentality. It was just like, Figure a way out. Right. Um, and then obviously over time, then you're like, dude, if I can get $1 million, I'll retire. And like, just as life goes on, but like eventually you just realize like there's trade-offs. What it takes to be the single greatest person at something is like, you basically have to destroy the rest of your life. I don't necessarily want to be the single greatest person at like one thing. I actually think it's pretty interesting if you can be really, really good at a couple of different things and still have like an enjoyable life.
