    Funny I was just thinking something similar to this. I saw some old pictures of Chicago with new skyscrapers being constructed and newly built highways with new cars. I was able to capture some of the prevailing sentiment of that time. The optimism and prosperity was different. I guess when...

    Even if you don't believe in demons per se. It's true at least in a metaphorical sense where an individual can be interdicted by casually active cognitive structures that act out behaviors, actions, emotions and secondary thoughts that are contrary to the wellbeing of him/her and those around...

    People have Demons. They gaslight you by projecting their emotions, beliefs and expectations that don't reflect your true potential. We've all experienced this from teachers, parents and friends. Life does this to people. It's as if no-one wants you to be a success. That's why they want you...

    Can anyone tell me how many ways are there to make money from ground zero?

    QUESTION 
    Learn how to use and rent utility equipment for a service. Then go door to door to find customers with the problem. You have low start up costs and all that’s needed is learning how to use the equipment and getting your hands dirty. Rent out a Penske with a buddy and charge movers.

    How Can I Stop Being an Info-Junkie And Start Taking Action?

    Like an irredeemable drug addict that pawns his mom’s TV for a quick hit. This is what all these electronic devices do to our brains. It damages our stimulus response to money, value and desire. :rofl:

    On the bright side you are making decent money in a Job. At least your degree is earning some kind of ROI. I worked at a car wash after college so that wasn’t fun. LOL. I would make minimum payments and put the rest of the savings into an asset that earns income. Then pay off the loans with...

    My opinion is not popular but a lot of this technology is like a genetic mutation to mankind’s progress. :rofl: Let’s corrode mankind’s spiritual and intellectual capital. In much the same way a virus or bacteria attempts to interject its DNA or set of instructions. This piece of crap will...

    The day of reckoning will come when it's time to pay the piper. That day is not a good day when you realize you have been doing it wrong the whole time. Horrible day. Redemption sometimes is costly in effort but it gets better and easier. :)

    One of the reasons I'm pointing this out is that we need to know what we are up against. It's real. A lot of us folks are not invited to the party. Nobody is going to give us the opportunity to make millions or start a multi-national corporation. Of course you are not going to be a success...

    Sad and sick sh*t. I'm surprised that information made it's way out there. They DO NOT want you to know who "owns" that kind of stuff. Can you imagine trying to be a productive small business owner in the state of Illinois? It's exactly this circular scam triad(Local Governments/Anonymous...

    How to get rich in the stock market even if you suck.

    INVESTING 
    No, she’s not copying other ETFs. She’s copying the business model. Owning an ETF is not free. Management fees($500k salaries) are adjusted from the NAV. They promise over performing returns by investing in “risk on” growth assets. As a retail investor Joe Schmoe, if I have $100k in my Schwab...

    I was reading this book. Not an easy read and most people will not resonate with it. Who knows, but a lot of what we “imagine” or “assume” about time or causality is wrong. Are we really that in bondage to the past? Probably not. This is the real truth.

    There’s actually some pretty funny thought experiments you can run in your mind regarding life and success. Imagine what has to be done to be the biggest failure and most miserable person. Once you do that, you actually arrive at a paradox. That would be enough to “destroy” your belief in...

    They'll raise the debt ceiling. It's just a political pry bar hostage negotiation. A default on US debt will mean goodbye to reserve currency status and a dollar crash. Inflation will sky rocket and imports will be more expensive. This could go on well into the year. "Render unto Caesar the...
