    I guess the bottom line is..... actions speak louder than words. You live under his roof so within 72 hours if you don't have a business started..... you need to do the ol' 9-5 shuffle. And guess what? That leaves LOTS of time to start your own business. Quit reading those damn books and take...

    Emergency Fund, Do You Have One?

    MINDSET 
    You would be very disappointed when you got here. lol I don't live in a big house.... I am not a big house fan. Had one in Kansas City and hated that house. We both actually like apartments or a condo. We have a 1957 house that was updated 2 years ago. We like old stuff. In less than 5 years we...

    Emergency Fund, Do You Have One?

    MINDSET 
    I have an emergency fund to this day. We actually have 2. A very small one is here at the house, hidden. I even have an emergency fund hidden in every vehicle. Only a few hundred each in the vehicles but it is for an emergency. No shame in having an emergency fund. It sure lets you sleep a...

    Article: I retired at 34 with $3 million—here are 5 downsides of early retirement that no one tells you

    All great problems to have! I do have a big question..... why did this person retire, supposedly have $3 million yet have a mortgage?..... and why would this person be worried about the mortgage if this person did in fact have one? They had $3 million to pay if off at any time if they chose to...

    No myth. See that car to the left in my avatar (black & yellow 1BK). We put some duct tape on the top wing one time and it held it together at 140mph for a 25 lap race. Nascar used to use regular duct tape for many years.

    The future of movie theaters?

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I hadn't went to a movie in 20 years until earlier this year; I was talked in to it. The experience wasn't bad, since like MJ said, they have the big comfy chairs now. Will I be back any time soon? I might, I don't know. I'm not a movie watcher at all and not much of a tv watcher either...

    You know, the more I think about this, the more you may be right. I better go out and buy me an armored van this week. And then, I'm going to have them move the drivers compartment to the middle of the van and drive via a monitor so I can be completely out of harms way. And this way I can also...

    No, lots of people who drive that exotic car yet can't afford rent so they stay with friends. Or drive the car and live in a cheap hotel room or dumpy old house. Don't let the car fool ya..... in more ways than one. Someone in a dumpy old mini van might pull up beside the exotic car and has a...

    But dangerous as hell. As KAK said, It doesn’t have side curtain airbags and seat belts.

    GOLD! IDEA 
    I'm about to lay it out on the line. I'm going to tell the whole world exactly where the 'too much competition' is hiding. Is everyone ready? You have 100 ideas. You have spent days/weeks/months/years evaluating and reading...... where is the most competition? IN YOUR HEAD!!! If you don't...

    But what if you are driving down the road and a brake rotor from an 18 wheeler comes through the windshield? What are the safety rating for that? Or how about a deer jump through the side window and kill the back passengers? Or how about if you are sitting in your living room and a car comes...

    I wasn't good at focusing when I was a kid.... (oh look, a squirrel) ......and I'm even worse at it today. If you was in front of me talking about something..... 2 seconds later, I would not be able to tell you what was said. When I need to talk to someone about household business I make sure my...

    Honestly, for those people, they should just stay home and hope a plane doesn't crash down on their house.

    Well, I'm still driving my $1300 2001 mini van for work even though my mechanic told me to stop driving it. I've decided to drive it until something happens where I can't drive it any longer or it needs new tires. Had the oil changed a few days ago and it still purrs like a kitten.

    Learn from my mistake - counterfeit goods

    EXECUTION 
    This is a good way to get hooked. Thinking baaaaaack.... looooong ago I guess I did this too. I used to buy things at the $1 store and take them to a booth in the flea market. It kind of made me see that I could make money without working for a business. Not to this extreme ($1000) but to a LOT...
