    MINDSET 
    “After experience had taught me that all the usual surroundings of social life are vain and futile; seeing that none of the objects of my fears contained in themselves anything either good or bad, except in so far as the mind is affected by them, I finally resolved to inquire whether there might...

    LOL the Fed is way behind. Money doesn’t lie. Bonds tell the real story. Bond yields are negative after accounting for inflation. The 60/40 portfolio is dead. Expect more inflation.

    Entering a Dying Market? (Photography)

    MARKETING 
    I’m a photographer mostly as a hobby. I just bought the latest Sony 70-200mm G II lens. I paid $3k for it. I’m good at taking portraits. Cell phone sensors still have not come close to full frame sensors. There’s still a lot you can’t imitate or copy with a full frame mirrorless camera.

    How much of the self-development/success industry recommendations are COMPLETE BS?

    MINDSET 
    It's because it actually doesn't work that way. Humans are complex. There is no 1 for 1 correlation or causation in doing some self-help technique or behavior. But they can stack the odds in your favor. My opinion is that the number one thing that holds people back is mis-using and negleting...

    She’s buying a minimum of 2 Venti Starbucks daily? Wow that’s a lot of coffee. I’m guessing she also has a big car payment. She’s lucky. I myself have never made more than $30k a year in a job. Which is like $20k after taxes. She could definitely afford a house except she will have to make...

    We have all heard of the concept of a VECTOR in physics/math. This is like that. LOL It really depends on how much effort/awareness you are willing to put it to get your ducks in a row. That will determine your direction and magnitude. It depends on you.

    I once got a “$100 wine voucher”. It makes you think you are holding $100 in your hand when you have to pay the retail difference. So you have to spend $200 to get the $100 off. LOL it probably converts pretty well.

    OFF-TOPIC 
    By engaging in immoral or unethical behavior you hurt yourself. Immoral is anything that inhibits, obstructs or is contrary to the maximization of utility, potential or actualization of the person. If you lie to youself you will never see the truth in yourself. Which hurts others as well.

    Didn’t the “experts” say there was a lack of “spare capacity”. That’s the same people that say there is no inflation. Refining capacity is another story. I think distilled products prices will move higher. :rofl:
