    How to detect deceitful people

    HOT! 
    I can see that, because every behavior has a motivation, but the distinction lies in this: is what they are trying to gain mutually beneficial, such as friendship, being helpful, or even just having an interesting conversation, or is what they are trying to gain selfish and potentially harmful...

    Nice recap of people's BS meters, @Bekit. I am also not interested in free, because it is usually free in exchange for my time, which I value more than money, so it's really not free at all (like vacation pitches). I was just telling my kids last week that when they date, I hope they have a...

    I agree, @DustinH. @jakeG, I am glad you got that albatross off your neck. With that under control, you won't be pinned down by bills and you can pursue your fastlane life.

    Have we finally decided to retire?

    PEOPLE 
    I love to travel. I could definitely hang out on a beach, in the mountains, or in a new city for a while. Fastlane represents something different for me, though, than retirement. My job has a retirement that will put food on the table and have health care, but I know myself, and a life of...

    @socaldude, I appreciate the heads-up. I have never used expedia to book, but I have used other, similar intermediaries for booking hotels and rental cars. Good to know. Also, since they didn't provide or even give you the opportunity to "use it" then how can they refuse to give your money...

    In addition to what @SteveO, I think having systemic methods in place will help. Don't rely on trust. If you have systems in place to verify, then you can be your trusting self and let the system do the work for you. The type of system depends on what type of business you are trying to conduct...

    Is Perspective the Death of Ambition?

    MINDSET 
    In that last boook we read, How To Get Rich, Felix Dennis acknowledged that he had a hard time not chasing money so he kept working and working. I have the opposite problem of Felix, and I am more like you, @MJ DeMarco: I care about freedom, and my family knows it. I joked with them once that I...

    I have two kids, one about to graduate from college and the other right behind, trying to find his way, and I'm right there with them, about to get untangled. :smile2: This. I am going to enjoy the journey. I think you get it just fine.

    I agree, also as long as you don't use it as a way to blame others for your mistakes or perceived failures. Take responsibility for your life, and own the choices that you make.

    Yes, because if you are grateful for your blessings of talent and special skills, you want to use them, not bury them.
