    Uncommon books that you'd recommend?

    BOOKS 
    I just read the free sample on Amazon .... so I am no expert on it. But .... if you put conspiracy aside ... it seems legit to me. And really .... conspiracy is a matter of degree. A group of people who look out for their interests conspire by definition. It is only a matter of degrees. I...

    Uncommon books that you'd recommend?

    BOOKS 
    "Why You are Still a Slave" is a book that I borrowed in my kindle library that was surprisingly good and somewhat original. I like the books by the creator of "Dilbert" Scott Adams: "How to Win Bigly", "How to Fail and Succeed" and "Loserthink". I also like the Nassim Tallib books...

    If you had 1 million dollars, how would you invest it?

    HOT! INVESTING 
    I love your hookers. I imagine that sexual frustration does not exist in Germany. Anyway ... I hit a million in liquidity. All I can think about now is doubling it .... and hookers in Germany. I even like the 25 euro ones. I apologize for the perceived misogomy .... but truth be told it is a...

    Lending Club Investing: Good Passive Income Source? (Answer: NO)

    NOTABLE! INVESTING 
    On my lending club account page, it gives the percentage I have made annualized. I've made a little over 6 percent on average. In the beginning, the average was 15 percent. I know it isn't all that great, but I've done worse. I'm assuming some of you guys lost money. My strategy isn't anything...

    MONEY SYSTEM - after the exit from several $million Amazon Business

    HOT! INVESTING FTE 
    In 1991, I put 100 dollars in a mutual fund. I have played around with investing since then. I am familiar with a wealth management firm because I have family that deals with one. I personally have no qualms about investing $2,000,000 but am clueless how to replace my income from a $40,000 a...

    €40,000 Sitting In Bank...Don't Know What To Do!

    HOT! 
    I don't think there is anything wrong with letting it sit in the bank until you think of something to do with it. A certain amount of money is ok to have in cash. It is an emergency fund. I have a bank account that gives me 2% return. I don't know what they have in Spain unfortunately. I'm...

    Part Time Bail Bondsman

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    The class is $400 to $500. Part of the license fee is $900. There is an additional fee of $300 and who knows what else. Virginia has two types of bondsman. One operates though an insurance company that has certain mandates and restrictions. The other is called a property bondsman. Operating...

    Part Time Bail Bondsman

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    Someone gets arrested and is granted a bond. They can not make it for financial reasons. The arrested person, a relative or a friend calls me. It is advertised with business cards left at the jail, phone book, neon signs, word of mouth, etc... The person has a couple of options to pay me...

    Part Time Bail Bondsman

    SIDE HUSTLE 
    It would cost me $2,000 to become a licensed Bail Bondsman. I would have to put up $200,000 in collateral as Real Estate or cash. Basically, people would be calling. I promise to pay the bond amount if the person flees justice. Someone pays me 10% of what I promise. It seems easy in theory. What...

    The Future is in Plastics!

    It's a poor metaphor. If anything I knocked on the door and told a joke.This is a forum built from people that read a book. I read the book. The other guy feels the need to insult my verbal intelligence .i call them like I see them. The book calls it a hyperreality.

    The Future is in Plastics!

    Ah, ostracism. People are following you and leaving me all alone. It must feel so wonderful. The anonymous word game leaves no winners. You offer me so much and I throw it away.

    What happens when you quit your job?

    HOT! SIDE HUSTLE 
    I haven't read this entire thread but would like to comment regarding getting health insurance in the United States. If you have income less than $40,000 when you aren't working and don't have recurring medical expenses, health insurance is basically free. You just go to the government marketplace.

    The Future is in Plastics!

    Some of you are living a narrative that this is a house? Nassim Taleb calls that an ailment. I thought the thread progressed nicely. It was interesting to me. Thank you. Basically, at this point I have found a secondary minimal use for a rubber fishing worm which is super easy to manufacture. I...

    The Future is in Plastics!

    Thanks, I did a quick search and it was valuable. I'm going to focus on making a prototype for my silly idea.

    The Future is in Plastics!

    Who would I go to cheaply manufacture paperthin slips of plastic? They would be approximately 3/4 inch by 2 1/2 inch and have some added features. The plastic would be along the lines of what you see in file folder label holders.
