This very sad. Also motivation. You can be in this situation by listening to bad advice, being stuck in side walk, and not waking up to the reality that you must take personal responsibility for your life. I just knew someone this just happen too in another state a few months ago. A good person, did everything right as a person, loved tons of children, mentored them, and when hardship came it was to late for this person to change life around and hit illness afterwards. I was close to this person at one time and it was painful seeing such an awesome person be in this position.

I think we don't have a clue at times in how many ways there is a cause and effect on our lives and others financially. It was interesting to see the burden on families with funeral expenses, or the state taking over things if you don't have the money. I know it's a little grim, but it motivates you to pay attention, stay focused, and make the right choices and take the right actions.

The dates for both Sam and Helen are incorrect. The birth and death dates are both wrong...also, it was "Helen R.", not "Helen F or E" as shown....so what am I looking at??

This is the correct one, just as modest and just as dead - same point.

same point.

Amazing how people skip the point and instead focus on potential "gotcha's", insignificant details that bear nothing on the point.

Thread: OMG look! It's a unicorn driving a Mercedes E350!
Response: Isn't that's a C250?

Not even worth it for the richest family in America to garden it. A few wild flowers in the background, and some weed killer sprayed around the edges of the headstone.

btw Hey Damage. She died in 2007. This isn't even current.

Bangkok
One life to live. One life to enjoy or hate. I make bold decisions that seem irrational to most but there's a reason for that - that I don't need to dive into right now.

Anyway - Bon Jovi rocked Bangkok tonight and this song always strikes a chord with me.

This ain't a song for the broken-hearted
No silent prayer for the faith-departed
I ain't gonna be just a face in the crowd
You're gonna hear my voice
When I shout it out loud

[Chorus:]
It's my life
It's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just wanna live while I'm alive
It's my life

This is for the ones who stood their ground
For Tommy and Gina who never backed down
Tomorrow's getting harder make no mistake
Luck ain't even lucky
Got to make your own breaks

[Chorus:]
It's my life
And it's now or never
I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life

Better stand tall when they're calling you out
Don't bend, don't break, baby, don't back down

[Chorus:]
It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive

[Chorus:]

It's my life
And it's now or never
'Cause I ain't gonna live forever
I just want to live while I'm alive
(It's my life)
My heart is like an open highway
Like Frankie said
I did it my way
I just want to live while I'm alive
'Cause it's my life!

...........

Live while you're alive!

Austin, Texas
There was this story about some guy in Austin who had just retired at around 65 I think so he went to buy a Ferrari and on his way out of the dealership he went to a restaurant and ended locking himself inside the Ferrari and eventually died inside of it. He practically paid for his own coffin!! Talk about an expensive coffin!! Haha

They always talk about the millions people make on the stock market.

Never once do they mention the Millions that people LOSE.

Just another mirage of magical wealth to brainwash the masses.

Buffet has too much cash on hand.

More mistakes are going to happen when you need to put capital to work.

Is his strategy really wrong? No.

"At the end of his life at age 95, Brendon's annual retirement withdrawals would total about $1.83 million, and his account would be worth about $1.84 million."

I hope this guy's next article is about how Brandon made it to 95.

Get a good laugh at this pipe-dream propaganda by another financial blowhard blowing bullshit up your noggin.

http://www.marketwatch.com/story/how-time-can-turn-3000-into-50-million-2015-12-02

Is this an onion joke? No, it's real, including the straight-faced lie that you can get 12% a year for 95 years.
From the beginning of the article:

"I can't say that I have done it, but I'm going to show how you could."
