    They're selling what???

    OFF-TOPIC 
    I wonder if this is where the got the idea... View: https://youtu.be/8-9scNP5KWk =p Unless it's 'immoral' (baby organ cream, human skin light shades) I don't have a problem with any product. Go free market!

    They're selling what???

    OFF-TOPIC 
    As a non-consumer, I pretty regularly come across items that I can't believe are for sale (lack of imagination I guess). Here's my latest find, THE LOG! New and improved! Only $14.99! At first I thought they were selling it as a seat (the handle threw me off). But nope, this is for burning...

    The road to wealth is simple: Drive a crappy car

    INVESTING HOT! 
    In my book stack: I'm going to suggest a different method for choosing your mode of transportation, the 'happiness' factor. What will make you smile will be different at different times. In Barcelona (or Bangkok, New York, Amsterdam, etc.) who needs a car? Public trans is awesome. In Texas...

    What book (besides TMF and Unscripted) was your game change ??

    BOOKS 
    Fisker is a good writer, and his thinking is 30 degrees out of phase to mine, which made me reexamine some of my belief systems. The math is also good. By far the simplest explanation I'd seen of what it took to 'retire'. Since this book came out much of the material it contains has been...

    Bitcoin / Cryptocurrency Discussion (And Predictions)

    HOT! CRYPTO 
    Question for all you BTC whales... how do you cash out six figures? Asking because the only account I had setup during the run to $20k was Coinbase, and they have ridiculously low daily and weekly dollar limit. There are plenty of bullion dealers that will let me buy gold, but then I need to...

    Buying vs Renting. Which are YOU?

    MINDSET 
    =) This is certainly true. While I'm currently renting, my landlord is driving my nuts. Has me considering a purchase (in violation of my own advice). =p

    Buying vs Renting. Which are YOU?

    MINDSET 
    IMO, buying is for when you've determined where you want to be for a good length of time (10 years) OR when buying represents a fraction of your net worth. For many people MOST to ALL of their 'net worth' is tied up in their residence. As a Fastlaner, that's not for you. Yes, your monthly...

    @Bryan James Does the book say anything about the source of the book? Dr. Hawkins died in 2012.

    Getting Unscripted at 50! What the hell was I thinking?

    RANT 
    I was thinking the other day: 20 <-- 50 --> 80 The same distance. Remember being 20? How long ago that was? How different were you? Think of all the things you've experienced and learned since then. The road is longer than you think. You really start counting when you get your ADULT brain in...

    =) A Slowlane friend said 'Let's do lunch after Memorial Day'.. I had no idea when he meant. "Thank God It's Friday!" has become "Thank God It's.. a day ending in 'Y'". I generally have no idea what day of the week it is. The only thing that will clue me in are traffic changes on the weekend...

    The 5am Club - Worth it?

    HOT! MINDSET 
    IME it's much easier to do your morning routine and set yourself for the day (Miracle Morning style) before the rest of the house is awake. For me it's the only way to get truly uninterrupted work time, so it's a great time to work on those 'Important but not Urgent' tasks. As a spouse...

    Thanks @lowtek I don't think I've ever enriched Mr. Lapre, had to look him up to jog my memory. I do remember his infomercials though. Wow, suicide by razorblade! I have your learning thread on my reading list. =) A friend of mine has been Murray Gell-Mann's personal assistant for about the...

    Sean Stephenson has good genetics? Sean Stephenson - Wikipedia Yeah, he sure is lucky with that crippling daily pain and possibility of dying by bumping against something. No, I can see you've made up your mind. You're stuck with you as you are, and there's nothing you can do to change/improve...

    EXECUTION 
    It tells me they need to learn to control their dopamine. Which is entirely possible via diet, supplementation and specific types of actions (see aforementioned books). They may also want to take a look at Buddhism's 'making friends with your demons', or for that matter Stoicism (the original...

    Spoiled Millennial Developing Self-Discipline

    EXECUTION 
    You can only work with what you have (obviously) but waiting for omnipotence before claiming responsibility for your life isn't going to get you very far. Yes, there are things over which you have no control. The weather, the government, your initial genetics, who your parents were. But there...
