I am happy to say that I do - for years, I did not. To some extent, I need to tow the lines of the two women who I have my three children with, but I am almost completely content with their expectations. Generally, providing that I carry my weight financially, and providing that I am responsible with the children on the days that I am with them, the mommies are both pleased.
I need $3,000 a month to pay the mommies child support, an additional $2,200 to live a modest income at home, and another $800 or more that I spend on the kids on the days that I have them. Right now I just rent houses with the focus on spending $6,000 a month to live as described above, with all extra rent revenue going towards future rentals. It seems like every year the banks are willing to lend me more money for more rentals - it's kind of sad how, as my friend put it, in order to get a loan from the bank you need to first prove that you don't need one. :-X :-X Meanwhile, if you have money, the bank will lend you multiple times more than what you have.
Everyone should probably invest in Bitcoin. Just buy a fraction of a coin for $500. It will almost for sure be worth $600 or more by January.
In any case, I would say that I largely live my life on my own terms. If I had a problem giving the money that I do to the two mothers of my children, then perhaps I would be bitter or angry, but frankly - I am quite happy with my arrangements for my life as a father.
So what does living life on my own terms mean? It previously meant going to numerous expos in a year and covering the bodybuilding scene via social media - the last out-of-town expo that I went to was the 2014 Toronto Pro. At that point, I realized that I missed my kids far too much to be away from them for so many days in a row. They were ages four and five at the time, and they started becoming extremely active around two years earlier, at ages two and three. It was funny timing because it was only three months later in 2014 that my son started Junior Kindergarten. Suddenly I had a lot of free time during the day, and during the school year in general - and it would have been a good time to go to the expos. So it's kind of funny how my exodus from the pro bodybuilding scene began. It was nice being able to meet some great champions in my days covering expos:
I wanted to sort of do for bodybuilding what Bill Margold does for pornography - act as somewhat of a liaison who participates in the culture somewhat myself (making me not an armchair critic or schmoe), but who is there in a supportive role for competitors. Consider Craig Golias above - it's sad to say this, but he clearly has some sort of mental issues, like body dysmorphia, driving his quest to gain so much size - a quest which full well could kill him. :-\
It was nice to meet bodybuilders and sort of get to know the real people behind these bodies. The same goes for the women in the industry. Take Kyla McGrath for example - she is now 40, and always looked much younger than she was. Here she is at 36:
Anyway, since leaving the expo scene, I mainly just like waking up, going to the gym for a workout, hanging out with my kids, then going home to read Getbig or watch Unsolved Mysteries. Honestly, I just want a nice, simple, modest life. Nothing more.
In this sense, I live my life much like Rich Piana did - the difference is, as far as I am aware, I am not doing body-destroying things. Is it worth it to live your life on your own terms if doing so means you will not live to 50? :-\ I would think maybe if you hit 60, you could justify it - maybe. But under 50? Rich Piana, as well as Greg Kovacs, Art Atwood and others, arguably cut their lifespans in half due to their abuse of steroids and other substances. I believe both of Greg Kovacs' parents were still alive at the time that Greg died. I can't fathom burying a child.
Yet I see this video, and it's obvious Rich led a life that he loved. It's just that, again, is all of this worth a lifespan less than 50 years long?:
Look at this - beautiful house, constant free product, his own clothing line to basically wear new clothes every day:
Rich was a man who did what he want when he wanted - it's just sad that what he wanted was a lifestyle that is not correlated with longevity.
I just noticed that Rich has 971,000 subscribers. Imagine having a small army of adoring fans, and being able to do what you want when you want. He was flying around the world, shaking hands and holding babies at expos, and just living life the way he wanted to.
But, again...46 years old. :-\
I have made the decision that no matter how great it is to live life on my terms, there are certain things that I will not do - that being, things that may well shorten my lifespan massively. I make sure that I workout - even though I have not been doing that much lately - eat a healthy diet, get adequate rest, and spend time with the people that I love. Given my current quality of life, I hope to live as long as I can. I live the quaintest and most modest/minimalist lifestyle imaginable - and I love it. :)
So how about everyone else on Getbig? Are you guys mostly living life on your own terms? Are there parameters you put in place to ensure your quality of life stays high while you do this?
-
That Cribs video is cool. It's great that Rich had liver problems but then created his Organ Defender product and his liver problems went away. Wow, so easy. ;D
Notice that Rich said that he was an Adderall fiend. So who is to say he didn't do his share of recreational drugs as well - it was a fun life to be sure, but just a short one.

Still wish we could have seen Matt go 'balls to the wall' with chemical enhancement and hardcore bodybuilding training for a couple years and then get into the healthy lifestyle side of it more.
So much potential wasted.
-
I don't know if it's better this way or having kids with a wife and living with her. Probably the expenses would be similar and your mental health way lower. It always happens like this and i learned it also. Hard to find a sane woman and make sure she is and will be your best friend for the road ahead. If i will find her then sure i would be more than happy to have kids with her.
Anyway,be carefull with your investments and lending, next crysis will happen soon and it will hurt a lot of buttholes, way harder than the one in 2007.

hell yes I DO
and no one tells me what to do, including you turds

Bah, I think about that too. ;D
To go from 170-lb to 190-lb - a change in actual lean muscle mass - would have been cool to see. If I was deadlifting 485 and bench pressing 345 at my strongest 170, I would think I could add 100-lb to that deadlift and 50-lb to that bench press. :)
Strongman isn't really like, say, fighting when it comes to the weight classes.
Say we watch a fight with Georges St-Pierre fighting BJ Penn. Few people, aside from big fans and fight experts, can see that they are not at the level of the heavyweights. All people see are two human males attempt to destroy one another - that's why weight classes work for fighting - a fight is a fight. Ultimately the quality of the welterweight fights are the same as the heavyweight fights.
With strongman, it's different - in Canada, a circus dumbbell/one-arm dumbbell of 110-lb is a national level event. Yep - Nationals! And I doubt the 170-lb class would ever go over 140 for the circus dumbbell at Nationals. My max was 125, and I could probably get close to 140 at my best, with pressing being a strength.
My point here is that, while the disparity between welterweight and heavyweight fighters is just as huge as the disparity between welterweight and heavyweight strongmen, people have an obvious mechanism to tell that lighter strongman aren't as strong - the weights they are lifting. In fighting, people can't immediately tell that the lighter guys are punching much, much less ferociously than the heavier fighters. Since there is no way to judge the difference in strength, the lighter weight classes are just as entertaining, generally speaking, as the heavier classes. It's for this reason why the female classes have also been a success - meanwhile, it's easy to tell the disparity in strength between the genders and the weight classes when it comes to strongmen.
It sucks to have a lot of my lifts written off because they are not that high, but ultimately, I do care very much about longevity. Also - I plan to have more children. Ideally, I would like six children. Because of that, I need working sperm and working fertility in general. That is one of my concerns about using steroids. Otherwise, I too would like to see how far I would get on a Balls to the Wall steroid cycle. :)

i live my life on rangerwil's terms -- i'm his gimmick

I knew someone who was fond of opening the Adderall capsules and crushing the "Time Pills" with a pill crusher...then snorting it.
-
I've liked a lot of what you've done Matt, especially considering you're a self-respecting white guy.
-
the only investment one has to do in order to live on your own terms is making sure to wear a condom
-
This is a great post Matt! We live similar lives.

since i dont have kids i can spend 3000 dollars per month on pre-workouts

No rule of thumb here. Some people are just not built for marital life. You can be the greatest father of all time and the shittiest husband at the same time. Some guys are perfectly happy and adjust great while married to grade-A nutjobs while others will just snap for the most insignificant thing. It all comes down to what you really want in life and what you are ready to give up to achieve it?

I have read that Piana "lived his life in his own terms", and started giving some thought about it.
The way i see it, bodybuilding taked to the extremes, not only Piana, God rest his soul, is a form of imprisonment.
Such individuals imprison themselves in their own body, in the need for disfunctional muscularity, and the hazardous diet/workouts/chemicals, time consuming, life experiences putted on hold, that goes with it. Not much different than the 600lbs obese crew.
I can relate to that, it feels great to have bigger and veinier muscles, but the sacrifice one has to make, it's just not worth it, unless one doesn't has ANYTHING better in life, and chooses bodybuilding to hang on, for emotional balance.
Piana "own terms" was a path of self-destruction. If your own terms are something negative, that leads to self or others harm, i do not endorse it a bit. Better to live under the terms of someone more wise.

Living by your own terms?...
1. You got married (twice)
2. You had kids
3. You got divorced
4. The courts forced you to pay child support. 60-80% of that money is spent lavishly and frivolously by both your ex's, not on the children.
You're posting all this here trying to validate yourself. Accept it... you fucked up.

Matt, you got Baby Momma Drama?

One more thing...
When you have people on a bodybuilding forum recommending you buy bitcoins at $4500, that is a contrary signal of a major bubble top. My friend was coming home from the airport said the rag-headed taxi driver was talking about buying bitcoins... another major topping signal. A few years from now people who 'invested' in this nonsense will say "what the fuck was I thinking".
Here's a little tip... Silver is one of the most undervalued assets on the planet right now.

yes dont trust getbiggers opinions on bitcoins
trust getbiggers opinions on silver
theres thousands of forums out there but the best advice can always be found on bodybuilding forums.

Edit: A young kid told me he called this, "The Douche-Bag song".

Matt gonna be taken to court by his Baby Mommas.

I see truth here. Plus boatloads of recreational drugs usually means pain on the inside. Lots of fun on the outside but was this altogether true on the inside? But then again "on your own terms" and "happy/content" are not the same. Good questions though.

Quite true. The bodybuilding lifestyle is almost a mental issue. Instead of living life, you allow certain aspects control it. It is not a healthy lifestyle, and mentally people seem to be trapped in a prison of sorts (like you said).

look at arnold, trapped in bodybuilding lifestyle

Meanwhile bitcoins today just hit a high of $4700.
Many are saying it will hit $10000 per coin by end of year and 50k by end 2020. Let's hope some of us get biggers get rich off this. You really only need to own 1 coin as a hedge for what might eventuate in the future.

So, you can't lose right?
"Many" said the same things about tulip bulbs in 1636, and Beanie Babies in 1995, and the DOT.COM bubble in 1999... "it's a new paradigm I tell ya!"
Also, the government LOVES all things digital... no more anonymity of cash... all transactions are fully trackable and taxable.

bit coin sucks
having good contracters=gold

Matt and I had discussed this years back but knowing what I know now about his desire to have that number of children I can understand why he chose to go the route he did.
I still say he was capable of a lean 210 pound physique at 5'10.25 height
405 for reps on the bench, behind the neck presses in the 315 pound range. Upwards to 600 for reps on deadlift.
His strongman training would be taken to an entire different level. Top 3 in Thunder Bay and would have fared well in the yearly Province of Ontario Strongman event.
Trust me, with his strength base, dedication to training and the right sort of approach gear wise, he could have been a monster.

I'm glad Matt is happy and I enjoy his posts but I would be near suicidal if I was in that position and shelling out that much on child support. :-X

I got diagnosed with young onset Parkinson's disease last year at age 41. That was a game changer for me. I live life on my own terms. I got divorced and didn't look back. My main goal is too take care of my daughters travel and live too the fullest. I highly recommend Costa Rica Jaco beach!!

maybe so, but im not pretending to be an expert giving out financial advice online.
i sleep well at night knowing nobody will risk anything based on my comments.

.....no, it doesn't work that when you have a family. They come first.
-
Sort of. Never married,,no kids. If I ever uttered the words 'let me ask the boss first'' I hope to be shot on the spot.
Got a garage full of toys and get plenty of time off to do whatever I want. Now if I could figure out how to stop the Government from taking half my money I'd be set.

So how much Money did you make on bitcoin Matt?... to support this expensive children having Lifestyle?
-
Other than possibly very very wealthy people
Does or is anyone able to truly live their life fully on their on terms.
By living in & being part of society your already not living your life on your on terms.
Probably like a lot of people I'm generally contented with my life & try to live on my
Terms as much as I can.
Again having extra £ would help as I live in a £ driven society.

I've recently been watching a lot of mgtow YouTube videos. I didn't even know what mgtow was but I guess I have been living the lifestyle for a while now.
Basically the keys are to not have kids, avoid marriage and costly gynocentric relationships. And save and invest a high percentage of money to retire early if you desire.
Oh yeah and enjoy your hobbies and activities that you like. Always put yourself first.
-
maybe so, but im not pretending to be an expert giving out financial advice online.
i sleep well at night knowing nobody will risk anything based on my comments.
I'm not pretending to be an expert... I AM an expert at identifying beaten down asset classes.
-
Yes. Unfortunately, I'm not a smart man so my terms were negotiated by an idiot.
-
Good grief that's a lot of money to owe each month.
I'm not married and childless and I am SO happy about this when I consider the alternative.
I live in a nice condo, drive a cool Jeep and do what I want, when I want, and all the money I earn (minus taxes) is my own.
I see married guys with kids at work always fuming about this and that, stressed about time restraints and having to massively cater their lives toward the domestic scene at home.
Fuck. That.
Besides, I love my children too much to ever create them and subject them to this shit world.

very similar to you
no kids, not married, nice condo, drive a convertible mustang (roush stage 2 ;D) I have a sales job where I control my own hours, my own clients, I have a gf (not even really) but she doesnt control me,
I am so wanting to pick up and move to hawaii, I hang out with who I want too, i compete in bbing shows, buy stupid ass art, buy bitcoin, live 2000 miles away from my parents (but visit often)
I am far from a rebel but I do as I please, date who I please, live and wear what I want, my only financial partner is the IRS
I am lucky I never got trapped, i know and see so many guys who are beat down by life

One more thing...
When you have people on a bodybuilding forum recommending you buy bitcoins at $4500, that is a contrary signal of a major bubble top. My friend was coming home from the airport said the rag-headed taxi driver was talking about buying bitcoins... another major topping signal. A few years from now people who 'invested' in this nonsense will say "what the fuck was I thinking".
Here's a little tip... Silver is one of the most undervalued assets on the planet right now.
April 15, 1996
(FORTUNE Magazine) – JOE KENNEDY, a famous rich guy in his day, exited the stock market in timely fashion after a shoeshine boy gave him some stock tips. He figured that when the shoeshine boys have tips, the market is too popular for its own good, a theory also advanced by Bernard Baruch, another vested interest who described the scene before the big Crash:
"Taxi drivers told you what to buy. The shoeshine boy could give you a summary of the day's financial news as he worked with rag and polish. An old beggar who regularly patrolled the street in front of my office now gave me tips and, I suppose, spent the money I and others gave him in the market. My cook had a brokerage account and followed the ticker closely. Her paper profits were quickly blown away in the gale of 1929."

Meanwhile bitcoins today just hit a high of $4700.
Many are saying it will hit $10000 per coin by end of year and 50k by end 2020. Let's hope some of us get biggers get rich off this. You really only need to own 1 coin as a hedge for what might eventuate in the future.
buy ripple XRP
its only 22 cents right now

3k a month is nothing.
-
3k a month is nothing.
Please send me 3k a month then
Thanks
-
He says he lives life on his own terms.
50% of his monthly take home pay goes to his two baby mommas.
And he sits home Saturday nights pinching pennies to take the illegitimate brood to Chuckie Cheese while the two slags are out boning every dick in Western Ontario.
Either way....another fucking attention whoring thread by the board's gayqueer attention whore.

Ooh, lookie... Mr. Moneybags. ::)

One of the gayer threads to ever be posted.

3k a month for 3 kids child support? If you think that's a large sum to pay to support 3 kids, I don't know what to tell you.
-

No I didn't say what I thought
I asked you to send me 3k a month - if it is such a insubstantial amount as you state
Of course you won't as you Really couldn't afford it
Your Reading & comprehension skills are not Good

Sounds like a lot to me. I'd just stick 'em in the shed and tell them to forage when they're hungry. All these 'meals on plates' make kids soft.

First I thought, ooofff savagery.
Then I couldn't disagree with a single thing you said.
-
Very few people live on their own terms.
Dan Bilzerian strikes me as one of the very very few, cos even other wealthy people they're tied to reputation and an image.
Hell, even Floyd had to come out of retirement and fight a ginger nobody to pay off his latest IRS bill.

I meant it was nothing within the context of which the OP stated it - child support for three kids.
I'll work on my reading and comp skills to avoid any further confusion and angst.
-
Not me. Even though I get a 6-figure plus pension that is mostly tax free and I work a FT job, a lot of my income and time is taken up by 2 ex-wives, 1 current wife, & 3 kids. Alcohol helps.
-
seems ex wives and child support and the true killer or freedom?
-
Laying out 6k a month in expenses... And it sounds like you don't work. I'm guessing you aren't retired, so... Where do you get money?
Edit: oh I see, "renting houses". How did you get the houses in the first place, and how much time do you spend maintaining them?
-

Maybe you could lend money to Groink so he could pay back WW.
-
Yes, I do.
Little money and lots of freedom... :D

You need to hand over six grand a month before you have a cent for yourself... You aren't living on your own terms man

His exes are laughing all the way to the bank. I have no illegitimate children but I know guys who hand over €50 a week for their bastard and they think they're being stung.
-
yes 3k for 3 kids is a lot.
in the hood kids dont get 1k each per month.
300 bucks per kid/month should be enough.

Jeez man - with that sort of $ income you should be having a happy life.
Ex-Wives - Not good.
Hope things improve for you.

I live in northeast so everything is crazy expensive. I was lucky in that I could retire from my first job relatively young (46) but now I'm on my "second career." I would like to move south or west where it's cheaper but kids are here. I also spend too much money.

The only people who continually tell you their life is great are the most miserable kunts on the planet.
What Queerfag Matt isn't telling people is what a glory hole Thunder Bay Ontario is. There is a reason it's called T-Bag Bay. In essence it's like knocking up your neighbor in Crown Point Indiana.
Don't let this cuck bullshit you, he rents because he can't come up with the down payment for a house, because of his monthly child support outlay. Then again, he can't write mortgage interest off on his taxes in Canadagay anyway, so he couldn't afford a house even without his illegitimate brood. Welcome to living in a socialist country with a homo PM.

Is wondering how other people live their lives to compare really living on your own terms?

Lol, what snobby jerkoffs. That's exactly how the markets were meant to work, once upon a time. In an ideal situation, we'd carefully guard to keep it a reality. To keep common people interested and aware.
And the guy was a "shoeshine" person. So what? What was Kennedy trying to say by pointing that out?

Not trying to hate on Matt, but he started a thread about living life on your own terms and pretty much posted the exact opposite ???

It took you 4 pages to figure that out?
Did your Mother ever stick a snow globe up your ass and make you dance when you were a kid?
-
6000 dollars for child support? The dollar must be worth toilet paper locally, cost of living must be very high.
