    Lol, I went to play Cashflow Online game just for fun... I picked a small deal halfway thru the game...it says 'Stock M price has dropped to $1 because of bad news' I just sold a house earlier, so I just buy 10,000 shares at once. Then I roll the dice, leading me to the next small deal...

    I've only ever played their online Cashflow game on their website....and yeah, while you can learn the basics of buying property and stocks and other assets, there's lots of other real-life stuff that gets missed out. For property, that might be additional paperwork fees...or even renovation...

    Fed Up With Your Country? Where Is Left to Go?

    HOT! 
    Outdoors stuff is alright. Can be done as normal. The spray-teams don't come very often. Maybe once every two weeks or so, or whenever there's reports of dengue cases around. And they only spray outdoors...around possible places that can collect water for mosquitoes breeding like drains, plant...

    So far, all unsubscribe buttons have worked for me. The few unsolicited emails I've got now and then always end up in trash automatically after a few rounds...I think Gmail already identified from the email language/deliverability which is spam to be rejected?

    Fed Up With Your Country? Where Is Left to Go?

    We have both aedes (it spreads dengue) and malaria here in Malaysia, but its OK, as long as they send teams regularly in the neighbourhoods to spray insecticide. It only gets bad when stupid fools just leave garbage everywhere- allowing rains to turn them into mini-pools for the mosquitoes to...

    In r/WSB language, it's more like 'is there any room behind Wendy's for I think I'm desensitised to the carnages of the markets at this point...I watch too much of the charts rise and fall even at home markets.

    I got really confused when they brought out the lion dances...as a Chinese myself, I have never seen lion dance at funerals except in occasions of happiness like opening new business or New Year. Then I found out that these kinds of 'lion outfits' are white in colour...Southern Lions. Inspired...

    I don't think even 15 bucks a day is worth it for the freelancing 'effort'. $15 a day isn't a lot even if you convert from USD to RM. I'll do rough maths...multiply $15 by 4 to convert arbitrarily to MYR (provided currency fluctuations all equal) to give us RM60 a day. Multiply by 31...

    Agreed with TMF. (although I do know 30-year olds who STILL have no business having a life partner or kids...one can be a grown-up and still do rubbish even a child is ashamed of doing) Michael Masterson's Ready, Fire, Aim has some good discussions on the different stages of a company, and how...

    He did burn himself out quite a few times...in his book, he mentioned ending marathons while pissing blood. And towards the end of the book, he was closed to collapsing out of the blue.

    While Millionaire Fastlane is the book that started it all, I felt UNSCRIPTED was more complete- it discusses more specifics on how to go about the CENTS rules and the paycheck-pot to fund your freedom eventually. IMO on an individual level, best to keep your body in good shape. Take vitamins...

    I guess there's a reason why authoritarian leaders like Lee Kuan Yew and Xi Jinping have done pretty well then...they reined in the media and opposition with courts, prison and so on. That does scream 'dictator!', but sometimes you need to shut people up to get things done. Few folks know LKY...
