    Opinions on the “Buy, Borrow, Die” stategy?

    INVESTING 
    See, these types of responses are why I asked. If I were a lesser person, I would have bought into the hype blindly and my head would be in the clouds. Now I can toss this “Buy, Borrow, Die” strategy in the trash, because now I am informed and have my feet on the ground.

    Opinions on the “Buy, Borrow, Die” stategy?

    INVESTING 
    So I was reading a book called “Be Smart, Pay Zero Taxes” by Mark J. Quann. I read the part where it describes the “Buy, Borrow, Die” strategy as investing in appreciating assets like stocks. Then when you get a good amount of money (like $2000) you borrow against it at a low rate (like 2%) to...

    What is your Decisional Fallout Condition (DEFCON)?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    I am currently reading “Choose Hard, Live Easy”, and I am at Defcon 2. As for some of the questions, @MJ DeMarco: Question 3 asks if my 10 year old self would hate the current me. The answer is yes, but because past me sees the result of what HAPPENED TO me, NOT what I did to myself...

    It’s been a while since I posted in this thread, so I’ll make this concise. The bad news: I’m STILL prediabetic. The good news: I’m BARELY prediabetic. Why is that “good” news? Because your A1C (blood sugar) is measured like this: 6.5% is diabetic, and 5.6% and lower is the safe zone. My...

    MJ, YOU ARE TRULY THE MASTER!!! I don’t know what I’d do without your insight. Feel free to laugh (or cringe) at me as I ask this: any suggestions as to where I can invest in closed end municipal bond funds?

    Funny you say this…I don’t eat cup noodles because they are mostly devoid of nutritional value and are overloaded with sodium. But tell me this: ever heard of someone who had cup noodles think “I want graham crackers and chocolate covered marshmallows in my mouth”? Apparently, somebody’s...

    I just uninstalled HealthyWage and will no longer be using it. By the way, I was wrong…the money I won was $3.81, not $3.48. … Ok, that is STILL MINUSCULE. Again, MJ DeMarco, you are right about the “Destroyed By Free” thing. To all the people who signed up for the free challenge and...

    Looking at my initial post, I think I will need to get some bloodworm done on me soon; I need to know if blood sugar, cholesterol and Vitamin D levels have improved.

    I think what I REALLY WANT is to not be pre-diabetic anymore. That is what I was when I started this thread; I also want to lower my bad cholesterol, since it was higher than it should be.

    The thing about me is that I am a NEGATIVE PERSON. And by “NEGATIVE PERSON”, I mean I take negative reviews more seriously than positive ones. Granted, some negative reviews are vapid, but as is the case with THIS REVIEW, negative reviews are there for a REASON. MJ, you said this review is...

    Ok, it has been MONTHS since I last posted on this thread, so it is time for a LONG OVERDUE update: I LOST A F*ck TON OF WEIGHT! A little over 30 lbs. to be exact.

    Actually, I lost 10 pounds in one month. I WISH I could lose 10 pounds in 2 weeks, but that would mean losing 5 pounds in a week, which would be dangerous. My initial post stated that I resorted to using HealthyWage (which I did last month, sorry for not being specific) in order to get me to...

    I guess I should have said UNSWEETENED almond milk, since almond milk has a low glycemic index. How do I know that? I followed your suggestion and asked chat gpt. Speaking of which, I just asked it to make me a slow carb plan. Also I drink water RELIGIOUSLY. I stopped drinking sugar water...

    OK, then how about this? I have my own Blendtec blender, and I have been working it like crazy. For milk, I use HOMEMADE almond milk; any STORE bought almond milk I get, I read the ingredients; in this case I bought some that has ONLY 3 ingredients: water, almonds, and salt. That’s it. As...
