    Government "Shutdown" in October?

    INVESTING 
    You're right: look at the past. But that's a lot of reading. Maybe someone here will remember what happened to investments during that time (I remember the time but I was too busy and broke to be focusing on passive investments at that time). The government is way too big! And people working...

    Government "Shutdown" in October?

    INVESTING 
    I just read an article saying that we're about to reach the "debt ceiling" again. This happened in around 2014 or so I remember and they shut down parks and stuff. I don't know what will happen but any predictions on price of cryptocurrency, silver, gold, stocks, etc?

    What inconvenienced you today?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I'm in Clarksville, TN for the week, visiting a good friend who will be transferred to another location in a few weeks. Well, rain my whole time here, so no trips to do things in Nashville today. So I went to a local diner (Kelly's Burgers) for breakfast food and ordered the peanut butter...

    250k On Hand, Now What?

    Well, you're retired. You're the same age as me but after all you've done in the past 20 years you might not want to spend 5-10 years starting a business. This includes a franchise. They're a lot of work. And don't pay off the house. Inflation is eating away your debt on that house anyway...

    Can an entrepreneur ever own a dog?

    HOT! 
    Haha, man, and I've only posted twice! And if you need more of me in your life then I'm doing something wrong. I'll have to find another thread with guys with less-thick skin to terrorize! :) In all honesty I come from a place where many people are poor. Many leave in search of fortune...

    Which book i should read? (14 yo)

    INTRO 
    After reading though this thread and some of the recommendations, I think that there isn't one book you should read, but several. When I started my entrepreneurial journey at age 27, I had already got a lot of partying and chasing girls out of my system. In fact, reading Rich Dad Poor Dad is...

    Can an entrepreneur ever own a dog?

    HOT! 
    Wow! This thread needs to be modded out of existence. Not because anyone did anything wrong, but just so we can all forget how much brainpower we all wasted telling the OP whether or not he should go buy a goddamn dog! (EDIT: on second thought, no, this thread needs to be saved to remind us not...

    Can an entrepreneur ever own a dog?

    HOT! 
    I really like this post. I think I'll go through one of these days and see some other things that you've written. The advice you gave was very, very similar to what I was going to say, which, since I'm here, I might as well continue to answer the question: Don't get a dog. There is no...

    How to Identify Entrepreneurial Investors from the Broke Landlords

    REAL ESTATE 
    Man, I like the forum and posters with an entrepreneurial mindset. Unfortunately it seems that there aren't many people renting out real estate here?

    How to Identify Entrepreneurial Investors from the Broke Landlords

    REAL ESTATE 
    In my city if you simply go through the motions to rent out a house the laws will ensure that you go broke if you don't continue to adapt. I studied to be an investor, not a landlord. You could say I was a landlord for a while but I pushed through it. I'm now financially free through cashflow...

    Being in a relationship with a slowlaner...

    GOLD! SLOWLANE PEOPLE CHAT 
    These are good things to try! I always try to make people read Rich Dad or Millionaire Next Door. If they don't read for me I have to remind myself that my whole life this person will never read a book for me. Now, maybe she can watch at video or audiobook instead, or come with me to a seminar...

    Which book i should read? (14 yo)

    INTRO 
    The Millionaire Next Door. Will teach you that over 50% of being rich is not wasting money. So don't waste money, don't get fat, and sure, have lots of sex, but don't get married or get some girl pregnant until you're 30.

    Is it possible for very rich people to hang out with poor/working class people?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    This is so true. I am not rich but even in my case people have no clue how much money I have saved. They see my rusty car and think I must be broke. I see their shiny cars and think they must be broke. Somebody is wrong. Hopefully not me.

    Small vs Big Tasks

    MINDSET 
    This has happened to me several times and today I really noticed it and how to benefit. So, you have a list of all these things you have to do: pay some bills online, go get your vaccine, try to get your PPP loan forgiven, call the unemployment office, kick out a tenant, do your taxes, clean...

    What would you say to your younger self, in order to help him get his money fast

    EXECUTION 
    OP, you must be young. And this "challenge" is a smart way to get some advice! I'll give you some pointers * There are 1000s of things you can do to make money. If one is not working, try another. But you can't jump from this to that without max effort in any category. You have to know...

    Is it possible for very rich people to hang out with poor/working class people?

    HOT! PEOPLE 
    Totally, that chart I made is about mindset but I think that's more relevant than cash-on-hand. A person who has "made it" will understand what entrepreneurs are trying to do. However, if they're like me, I've seen so many people jump into real estate head first and a year later they're off...

    Buy Vacant Lot and Sell to Drive-In Restaurant?

    Well, some time has passed on this but one day another solution came to me. This is residentially zoned lot. They can't have customers over there without zoning, insurance, etc. I've never ran a restaurant but I assume there's a lot of that which much be considered. So, I'm going to propose...

    I can't get my a$$ up and work.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    Wow, this is crazy! I'm so glad I didn't try to take it. If it were as-needed I might have, but I don't want to take drugs daily. As-needed Adderall, yes, but not something that affects me 24/7!

    I can't get my a$$ up and work.

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I hate to call nearly everyone out here but most of the replies are complete rubbish. The man has a problem and at least got off his lazy butt to attempt to do something about it by looking for help. He's made step 1 so cut him some slack. That's more than most people do! People note my...

    Where's the time to start something?

    RANT 
    Don't get up at 4:30, get up at 6:30. There's 2 hours you'll need for later. If you're leaving the house at 8 maybe you can alternate every other day to deal with the kids so you can sleep until 7:30. You can eat an apple on the way to work. See #8 below Don't eat breakfast at home unless if...
