Ceviche, What a great post. All of your points / observations are valid. Point #9 is for a special kind of person. Personally, there are a few lines I would not cross to make money. Being criminal is one and something like point #9 is another! It's just not worth it to me. I'd rather have...

If you find yourself doing something you enjoy, you will never feel like you ever worked a day!

Hi Fooze, It seems to be forbidden to discuss specifics of finances / financial management / investment advice etc ... on this website, so we can't go there. In a generic way, the best I can say to you is this: Anything someone can do well takes a lot of time and dedication before one...

Dear Joelie, I understand your point of view and I respect it very much. We all view our purchases differently. Some of us do what I do, but most of us do what you do. And neither action makes it right or wrong, it just describes what we do.

I generally don't day trade. At best, my results have been a bit better than even on the whole. It has always been a tough thing to do well and with consistency. Today, with all of the technology you are up against, it is even more challenging. I am a swing trader and an investor. Each has a...

Right on target Ceviche.

I always marvel at the idea of thinking something costs too much without considering other factors. "FREIGHT & HANDLING." In some instances, something very well does cost more ! But, in the instance of an imported product, there definitely is a cost to get it transported from point A to point...

Given how important and popular this particular topic is, it needs a dedicated thread. In addition to what one can do remotely for an income source, the tax ramifications are of interest as well. This thread should become a great source of information for people who are trying to figure things...

Furthermore, the populace has entrusted (Through the democratic process at the ballot box ...) idiots, who are a continuation of previous idiots to drive the bus! And these drivers are being WRECKLESS with our bus!!!

Argentina is not some bombed out, burned to the ground, busted country. It is simply a shell of what it was and what it could be in this modern world. Frustrating? HECK YES! Because never has so much potential been thrown down the drain by elected officials who have a diamond in the rough to...

Life is cheaper? You can only spend what you have. Life is harder there? I would guess so. There is all kinds of economic opportunity there? That's be a laughable assumption. Warren Buffet put it best with his US Birthright & Citizenship comparison to winning the lottery. (You can search for...

Once the designation is given, it has to be honored. It starts at the source, not in the middle of the chain.

Kimberly, You need to be aware that a lot of people are "GAMING" the system to classify their pets as emotional support animals. And I would bet a lot that a mental health professional would be aware of this. (I am under the impression that this is the kind of authority you would seek to get...

Refining your point: Know what you like, want and need in your household space. Always have it on hand. Develop a management system. Here is a very simple system a 10 year old could understand: Understand your rate of consumption for any given item. Keep a 3 month supply of it on hand ... or...

ODIO ODIO y ODIO Sounds like the old democrats vs republicans thing. Point being, politics are the same everywhere. Just change the labels and the culture and you have the same, exact stuff. Why is that? Because human nature is basically the same when you remove the exterior (different races)...

J, I have learned a few really important life lessons over the course of my life. Some were easier to digest than others. And I am not about to write a manifesto of them all and what they mean to me or others, but I am going to share just one that is highly relevant to your post: "LONG RANGE...

They (The Peronist camp) are going to need all the loyalty they can get with the unfreezing of electrical and gas rates coming this December!

Follow up: Everyone who got a marshmallow much sooner than me, simply wishes they did not.

I am that rare person who wanted a marshmallow, yet knew enough not to accept one. I come from an environment and thinking that you need to give before you get. I didn't accept a marshmallow for a very long time and it was worth the wait.

" I have often wondered if there is any other teaching discipline where the same situation applies. I have yet to come up with one. It's really quite odd, when you think about it." YES! I have one! It's that virtuoso musician who never learned in a formal manner, never spent a moment in a...
