The IPO of Musk's companies was the big buzz this past week because, among other things, it made the richest man in the world richer still. He shruggged it off. Money is nothing but a means to him, and that's the best attitude to have about it. Money determines how well you live, but it doesn't necessarily define you - or him. He lives in a modest modular house near his Spacex headquarters. He doesn't own a big yacht or a fleet of fancy cars. The guy has 14 kids, ferfucksake - that's obviously where he gets his kicks.
At the end of the day, someone who is worth a trillion dollars doesn't effect you in any way, so don't get jacked up about it. You probably can't even grasp how much money that actually is. Juss' sayin'...

It's probably bullshit, but still...

Five minutes from my house and you're in citrus, cattle and horse country - the real boonies. Granted, I live in a humongous development, but my back fence is the absolute outside of the whole shebang. Other side of the fence is an abandoned golf course, and beyond that, nothing but nothing. Meanwhile, withing three miles of my house there's five supermarkets, three big box stores and more friggin' banks, restaurants, doctors and dentists than you can imagine. It's a truly unique place - I love it here.

Imagine if you will having grown up like this, and think about today's crybaby, popsicle-sucking snowflakes who need 'safe spaces' because people say something they don't like.

what very few people understand is the dollar is just about worthless when compared to money back in the 1950's and 1970's/ back when a new care was about 3500 bucks new off the lot. Nixon took us off the gold standard and ever since the dollar has lost value. saving money in the bank is foolish anymore. stuff that holds value is the only way to go.
ReplyDeletenot a huge fan of gold or silver coins but I have a few I bought when silver was UNDER 20 bucks. had a few gold coins I bought om west Berlin that was a nice down payment on my first house . yup. 275 each at the time and worth almost 700 when I sold them. and we what 38 or 39 TRILLON IN DEBIT NOW ? yeah, save those dollars. not that they going to be worth much in the long run.
