    Americans...Do You Feel You're In Danger???

    OFF-TOPIC 
    Years ago, the neighbor across the street, who we never much spoke with, knocked on the door to tell my wife, "I just saw your husband on CNN!" "What was he doing?" my better half inquired. "Jumping off a bridge!" Well, that got her a bit worked up, particularly because she couldn't reach me by...

    What's happening in china, really that serious? (Market Meltdown)

    INVESTING 
    Many professions "predict the future" on a daily basis. Weather forecasters, the folks at CDC that predict the spread of diseases, and yes, economists. Using statistical models, deductive reasoning, and a bit of pattern recognition, it's not at all impossible to do so with reasonable accuracy...

    Dealing with Network Marketers?

    Just tell me this, if MLM is so great, why do its proponents feel the need to lie to you to get you to listen to their pitch? Cheers, O-2

    Dealing with Network Marketers?

    Why are folks worried about being polite or professional with people that that at best are wasting your time and most probably, scamming you? Granted, I'm a dinosaur and don't know how Facebook works, but my standard answer once I know it's MLM is "F**K Off." I believe, from his earlier posts...

    do YOU want to never lose on a car deal again?

    There's no science behind it - it's just what the car is worth to me. I'm not trying to get the "best" deal - I don't care it I could have gotten it for less. I just won't pay more. Have I left money on the table? Probably, but so what? I was happy, the sales person was happy, and the dealer was...

    do YOU want to never lose on a car deal again?

    Not sure I'm the right guy, since I tend to do thing differently than others, but... 1. What is the thing you are most unsure of when buying or selling your car? (i.e, value, condition, etc) Well, I don't sell cars, but when I buy one, what I'm most uncertain of is how well I'm going to like it...

    People and their poor choices

    MINDSET RANT 
    Y'all know meyers-briggs is bunk...don't you? It was made up in the 1940s by a mother-daughter pair with an "interest" in the work of Carl Jung but no psychological training or credentials. I pity the multitudes who have been denied jobs or passed over for well deserved promotions because of...

    Do you have to give up your social life to become rich?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    Um...getting "rich" rather enhanced my social life. Girls that previously would have crossed the street to avoid me began to fight over who was going out with me, and they approached me. Seriously, any effort to better yourself will disrupt your social life as your former peers will drift away...

    Your biggest challenge is?

    EXECUTION 
    Ronnie, I have no idea who Diane Hochman is, and don't know the context for "There is a reason Millionaires don't hang out with FANS". Didn't know millionaires had fans! Anyway, there are more then a few who qualify for that title here, and they're often the first to chime in when a broke-a$$...

    Just got married... Now I feel restricted and powerless

    MINDSET RANT 
    Thanks! I wouldn't necessarily say it's awesome, but I like to offer people solutions. Too many posters want to either scold the OP or say "well dude, you're f'ed." Cheers, O-2

    Just got married... Now I feel restricted and powerless

    MINDSET RANT 
    Wow, interesting thread. First, let's examine this stigma associated with "living in your parents' basement." Where does that come from? Until WWII most Americans lived in rural communities and kids routinely lived with their parents and possibly grandparents and worked the farm together, which...

    If you could ask a government official...

    PEOPLE 
    That's right. I've turned down business at times because I have no more hours in the day yet I can't afford to hire a larger staff because the tax man is always at my throat. Other then that, leave me alone. Cheers, O-2

    If you could ask a government official...

    PEOPLE 
    The government isn't interested in helping me or my business. They want us to be dependent sheep that will continue to vote for bigger and bigger government to "take care of us." The last thing they want is us to be financially independent of government (welfare/food stamps) or big corporations...

    So I moved in to my a dream home this week.

    MINDSET 
    If you're single I think it's a great idea. Most people waste a lot of capital on putting a roof over their heads. Save that for when you need it, like when you get married! I never did the camper bit but did a lot of couch surfing in my single days. It wasn't because I couldn't afford a home...

    Yea, I still say keep the caffeine but not in that form - neither high fructose corn syrup or aspartame are good for you.

    Started where you are. Never gave up. Never quit trying. The first few years were rough, but one hell of an adventure. Became CEO of a software company by my 40s Currently a consultant to some of the largest large companies and fastest growing small companies in the US Just sold a TV show that...

    Business Idea - Need Analysis/Advice

    IDEA 
    I think Angies List does something similar, but don't know for sure since they apparently charge the consumer. I'm not interested enough in their services to pay to find out. Cheers, O-2

    Can someone teach me REAL BUSINESS?

    MINDSET RANT 
    I don't keep up with these things but seem to remember reading a while back (time get's away from me, it was probably years back) of some folks trying to establish a Christian town, in Florida, I think. This would seem like the logical place to establish yourself. Cheers, O-2
