It’s a difficult question for any man to answer… Whether to follow his dreams no matter what… Or to give in slowly and let life lead you where it will.

Sick (and tired) of someone/something:
 
Annoyed by someone or something.
 
They visited so often that she was sick of them by the end of the summer.
 
I'm sick and tired of hearing the same old excuses!
 
Usage notes: usually said about something that you have accepted for too long.
 
 
Hope that helps.

gold taker - I've not heard this form but a 'golddigger' is someone who enters into a romantic relationship with the intention of getting money/material goods.

It needn't necessarily be a romantic relationship.  I know a couple of guys who are virtually professional golddiggers.

How do they get money out of people without a relationship? (I wasn't saying that the romantic feelings have to be genuine, just on the side of the poor sap who is being taken for a ride).

Worming their ways into wills [even squeezing 'power of attorney'] of older people who have no children or grandchildren.  Their favorite venue of operation is on luxury cruises.  And, they are charming.

Philip, are you talking about those girls who marry old men so they can get a share out of deceased's fortune? And what do you mean by ''power of attorney''? Do you mean ''by using lawyer''?

''power of attorney'' the right to represent or sign for someone (simplified)

Often time, "gold digger" instead of "gold taker" is used to descirbe what you guys are talking about...

If you have more questions let me know!!!
