Thanks for the link, smoothsailing!

The concert was great! We got home at 3:30 AM and were back up at 6:30 AM to get ready for church this morning. Guess where I spent this afternoon? ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ (hehe)

The trip was even more special in that the concert was in Bastrop, TX where everyone has been hearing about the devastating wildfires. Amongst the drought-ridden fields we drove through from the north and the smell of lingering fires in the area (couldn’t get to the actual burned areas), it was amazing to see the little town center of Bastrop that was left untouched.

We saw hundreds of volunteers and workers at the Bastrop conference center there, several makeshift emergency operations centers assembled with big tents, overhead canopies, and trailers, and there were dozens upon dozens of firetrucks and ambulances throughout all the side streets, all kinds of vehicle color, sizes, shapes and services, and all kinds of communities there. It was just an awesome picture of people coming together to help and to support those who have lost so much there.

Thanks again for the link to Rick Perry’s interview with the WSJ a couple years ago. I’ll read it a little later this evening!

Wedge issues always spell trouble. You can’t win by subtraction and dividing.

I thought it was Latrina that got the checks for her daughter Urinal.

:-P

Yeah, that too. I mean, that’s usually where the money is going, no? It’s not going to those down on their luck, it’s going to people who basically refuse to discipline themselves.

I have to wonder, how much would you have, if you had put all of it into savings? Another reason people should consider moving to small countries like Thailand or Taiwan. Now welfare system and the government stays out of your way as long as it’s not drugs. I always thought that a huge reason this country was built and has done so well is because people knew there was no safety net and if you made the wrong choice in regards to marriage or a job, you wouldn’t be getting a means of help if things fell apart. Call me callous, but back then, men were careful not to marry dysfunctional headcases and women knew better than to sleep around and possibly end up pregnant.

When I get the chance, I am investing my money in developing business, like mines, shipping, and maybe manufacturing. There is a lot to money to be made in investing in say, a mine that has everything in place but the funds. I recently am about to finish deal that will net me a few million; I netowrked and secured a client and the client is buying a huge piece of property that will bring in an income (mining business) and I will invest some of my commission in the property. Not stocks, not buying real estate and reselling, but investing in businesses that have all the machinery set up and a concise business plan.

That is how the real money now is going to be made and will be the new way to fund your retirement. There’s no other way out there and there is no other way to really live once you are too burned out to work. Stocks and 401K’s are still iffy and can end up wiped out. Social Security will be strained and will go bankrupt sooner so I am glad that I am lucky enough to make some connections and snag a client wealthy enough. Once I get a few business certifications on my resume I’ll be able to move in the business world with more ease. I don’t have my degree, but it’s not something I want to get until I have the money to fully pay it off without taking out a loan.

Once social security collapses, there are going to be people without the skills to get a good paying job, so there is going to be a huge scramble for jobs, any jobs, security, and the schools are going to be jammed with the desperate who until now didn’t get skills when they could. Obama being out of office won’t change it until these things are tackled in a drastic manner.
