I would probably neck myself if I saw that many people in the water...plus I love the cold...too many days to mention surfing on my pat malone in winter too count
Sounds like most of you blokes have your priorities right.
There are no guarantees in life, and a big pool of savings/ disposable cash is not necessarily going to ensure you are 100% satisfied. Unexpected events can happen to anybody, regardless of income. Look at Michael Schumacher for example (Good luck to him by the way, hope he recovers). Material things don't matter once you are 6 feet under. After a near death experience/ miracle recovery from a 15m fall, I value my health, and I value time spent doing the things I love - Surfing, SUPing, kiteboarding, hanging at the beach, boning my hot wife, road trips etc.
Yes you need money to do fun stuff, but a moderate salary coupled with extensive holidays is the best combo for me.
I laugh in the faces of my high school/ uni buddies who work 9-5, get 3 weeks holiday a year, and haven't got out for a decent surf in goodness knows how long. Yeah they drive fancy Prados, and go have wine and cheese in the city or whatever, but I'd rather huss my '93 Hilux Surf over the dunes on a quest for a perfect uncrowded peak than worry about devaluing my fancy pants soccer mum car by getting some scratches on the panels.
School teaching is the bomb!
School teaching ??!?....... Wouldn't you be safer with the military in Afghanistan?
Aaaaaaaaaaaand not a single person has said how much they earn.
It's the last thing people tell anyone. People will tell you they're having an affair, that they've killed someone, that they've robbed a bank (I've robbed a bank) before they'll tell you how much they earn.
Why is this?
cause nothing sucks harder than finding out the engineer on salary is earning less than the sleeping rigger on hourly rates and the single mum with five kids earns more than everyone else

Was it a nice bank or one of the ones full of bastards?
