Russia is making money hand-over-fist with oil and natural gas.
We both have a crush on Lana Lang. However, Lex talks to her more . . . |
...unless he or she listens to Psychostick's "Beer is Good!!!"
That rather soundly puts the lie to the "disadvantaged" hogwash inherent in liberal classist diatribes.
I agree. And I'm surprised nobody has jumped on me yet! I love the part of that speech where she basically says you get the dreams you dream for. Dream small, and that's what you'll get. The more wounded the woman, the smaller the dream. Man, she's so right about that.
Every one of the new Russian billionaires are there because of oil or metals prices. Eight years ago they were crying in their vodka and looking to unload those assets.
I'm confused. My liberal friends told me that all billionaires got their money by stealing it from black people!
Oh yeah. That's where the big money is.
I haven't been able to read the latest issue of Forbes yet.
You're absolutely correct! Slow and Steady does win the race! That's the only way you'll make any sort of money is to go it slow.
You are right, and the biggest 'congenital deficiency' people have are they themselves.
Not sure if he's a billionaire by now, but this man became a millionaire and then lost everything, only to fight his way back to success. It's a very good book: Self-Made in America, Plain Talk for Plain People About the Meaning of Success.
Another good book on becoming successful: The Magic of Thinking Big.
For a millionairehood there is a guaranteed recipe: start in early 20s and keep maxing on 401k, and use index funds so as not to be led astray.- i.e. persistence, compounded interest over a long time, broad market tracking. But then, being a millionaire is not what it used to be. To get to a "b-" level, though, this recipe is plainly insufficient - there one really needs to know what one is doing.
