A friend just e-mailed me to ask me if I'd like to do some training in Rio de Janeiro.

Somehow, it seemed pertinent.

Tritium this was simply a light and fun email.....no meant to teach but to rather lighten up your day....anyone going somewhere in life knows that you cannot just live for today but you need to prepare for tomorrow.

I agree.

What if the USA's currency isn't worth the paper it's printed on in the year 2020? What if it becomes too expensive to produce goods in the US which completely suffocates the lower middle class who depend on manufacturing jobs to live? If this base goes then the rest of the country will as well. If the base crumbles, the middle-top of the class structure will not be able to sustain itselfl, leaving all saved assets worthless and a life long dedication working towards security all for not. The only thing that you would be left with is the memory of a SH*TTY life stuck living in a 4x4 cubicle staring at a computer monitor for years on end.

Tritium, haven't you met people who don't have much, wealth wise, but seem to be the happiest people in the world? I think that's what this was trying to say.
On the other hand, money can't buy happiness, but it can make being unhappy a lot easier.
