None of your problems are because someone else is a billionaire.

Pro tip: You'll drive yourself nuts trying to reverse two generations of educational brainwashing.

Another pet peeve: when people say "it's the holidays so (insert sales/business problem)".

Money never sleeps.

Stop making excuses for why you aren't prospecting, marketing, selling, and engaging with the marketplace.

Just heard that BC announced a state of emergency because of the flooding. Hope you’re safe @Antifragile.
Thanks buddy. We are good.
My wife and I were busy today not because we are affected but because there is a local relief effort. My wife and her friends organized clothing and food for those who are temporarily stuck at schools in Hope, BC. Helicopter will deliver all of that later tonight. It’s horrific what happened and we are wealthy and fortunate to be unaffected - it was our time to give and help. I’m so proud of my wife for how hard she worked today to help people in need.

thanks again for asking! @MoneyDoc

Today was the best day of my life so far in my 29 years of existence. Just wanted to share
It feels like everyone (myself included) is 29 these days.

I have a new addition to my family and although he is not my child but my newphew, suddently all my problems seem very small in comparison. and at the same time, suddently I have the need to do anything I possibly can to succeed. I really don't have the words to adquately describe how I'm feeling so this is probably coming off a little jumbled but it's all I really have.

Had the same feeling of "this is one of the happies days of my whole life" just playing with games with my sister's 4yo and her grandma (my mother). Family is one of the biggest sources of joy in this life, I love having time to spend with them thanks to having a business.

I liked my 29 very much. So much that I’ve been celebrating 29 for many years. Every year, I’m more and more impressed with how much I’ve accomplished as a 29 year old.

:)


@becks22 @Matt Sun, all jokes aside just wait till it’s your kid! It’s 10x what you described above.

If Elon Musk gave all the money away everyone would have $30 & be right back in the same situation.
If the US gov gave all of the money it spends(~6.55 trillions in 2020) to everyone...you can finish the sentence. Hell, my country's budget for 2021 is of about 575 billion Euros (650 billion USD). And we spend it every year.

Elon Musk needed years to get to that level of wealth. And it's not like he actually has it liquid. He's no Scrooge McDuck. His real wealth is lower, because he can't mass sell his Tesla stock.

But it's better to spend government's (read: the taxpayers') money on incinerating afghans with drone strikes and spying on citizens. And conduct a war on terror, drugs, and poverty that are as never ending as the ones in the middle east.

My—and every other—country does very much the same, albeit on a smaller scale. Our budget for 2021 is almost 600 billion euros, with a population of 60 millions. Does each citizen get €10k worth of services?

Leaving government shenanigans aside, I got started with convict conditioning this week. I'm starting from level 1 with every exercise, even though I know I could start higher for some of them.

Shoulderstand squats are hard, lol.

Yeah, I've always been saying Congress government spending is out of control over $6 trillion raising the debt ceiling all the time & they should feel the pain & take it out of their own pockets instead of taxing the rich.

It’s crazy how much the Bored Ape Yacht Club is making off their sales.

Biden's administration is "investigating" the cause of higher gas prices (LOL) when the causes are pretty obvious:
1. Cancellation of Keystone XL.
2. Attempted restrictions on drilling on federal land, especially in the Gulf of Mexico and in Alaska.
3. Blocking development permits for new refineries as has occurred in California.
4. Not speaking out against the Governor of Michigan on her ridiculous campaign to turn off the Enbridge Line 5.
5. Pushing the transition to renewables without regard for economics or efficiency
All of this is being done in the name of environmentalism as the USA continues to use MORE energy from foreign countries that burn dirtier sources of fuel.
It's a sham, folks.

6. Waiving sanctions on Nord Stream 2.

disagree


but yeah I agree that "taxing billionaires" is another scam and that people who support it do so out of envy
The problem isn’t that they are rich. The problem is what they’re doing with their influence and power - people with less money can have large amounts of power and influence too, and cause disasters
