Maybe I will. but I need to finish beating the street first. It's kinda interesting. Except when he talks about mutual funds (Which ironically, I'm reading the book of a person who ran one of the biggest) because I hate mutual funds.

Mutual funds lag. They're good for holding onto money.

They're not even really good at that

I need moneeyyss. You know what's sickening? When I worked at the bank, a guy came in every morning and withdrew anywhere between $10k-40k in CASH, and would always walk out. It was always in his pouch. Now that I don't work there.. it'd be quite easy to make some good money. BUt I just can't bring myself to do it. I guess that's a kinda good thing haha

You can complain about mutual funds, but most of mine have trailed the market, for better or for worse.

My only complaint was not socking more money away with Thrivent Financial when I had the first chance.

Otherwise, I've wagered, and am still winning. . . especially given where I was 8-9 years ago. . . $27K a year, and I was king of the hill then. . .

Guess I'd just rather do the picking myself, you know?

And what do you mean about the $27k a year? that was what you earned on MF/stocks, or that was your total earnings?

That was my yearly salary as a Music teacher when I first came back to California.

Didn't matter, I was pretty darn excited. Then, the yogurt hit the fan. All I wanted to aspire to was a decent living and to retire with a warm place to shit.

Things have since changed. . . well, except retiring with a warm place to shit is now mandatory, not optional.
