Ultimate Monetary Success v2. It's Cheddar O'Clock

UMS Stage 1, Day 1,

The streaming service is simple and elegant. Well done.
Ran two loops last night. I was out like a light not long after starting.

Had a mildly disturbing dream involving a movie-type scenario where a bunch of high school bullies lock up other high school kids in a big grotto-type bathroom (think the bathrooms in Harry Potter), tied them up and tortured them. Involved water/breath holding and cutting up. I was able to detach from it and realize that it was a dream/scene from a potential movie.

My body woke me up at 7 AM and wouldn't let me fall back asleep; unusual as that is, that's proof enough that UMS is working if I'm waking up early on a Saturday.

Started UMS 3 days ago after running OF v.3. Overall, I give OF a 7 or 8 out of 10 as per expectations met.
Why UMS? Because I have the habit of not focusing on money-making habits and skills, and I realize consciously that it's incredibly important to have a handle on these things, especially with my raises not matching inflation and rising house prices, etc..

Currently, the amount of money I have drives my life; I have a nice nest egg, but if I sever my usual source of income - my job - it's only a matter of months (albeit, several months) until I have to go back to a job. The true power move is to make money through your own efforts, through a mechanism that you own.

My current hangups surrounding money:
- I constantly think about money as finite, meaning that I'd have to take from another to fill my pocket, especially if I'm making millions.
- I have severe critiques of capitalism (despite still being, at the end of the day, a capitalist).
- I typically dislike the opinions and perspectives of heads of companies, or of multi-billionaires in general. Usually had wealthy parents, lucky connections, and use lobbying to get their way.
- I wonder what would happen if I sputtered mid-attempt and lost my money.  
- I imagine that I'd have to risk my current savings to start my own business, meaning that it's safer to build on what I have than to 'risk it all' for something low probability.

By the way, I slept 11 hours last night after only sleeping 5-6 hours the night before.
