home car trying
Yes, Americans can still get credit for cars and trucks and refrigerators, and those businesses are doing well. But just try to get a home loan now.
law rights done
We are not supposed to be all equal. Let's just forget that. We are supposed to have equal rights under law. If we do that, we have done enough.
seems ifs
I have to tell you I never in my life anticipated getting this old, this fast. It seems as if I were 25 just a few days ago.
mean animal breathing
Greed is a basic part of animal nature. Being against it is like being against breathing or eating. It means nothing.

I'm not a Mensa member. I have no idea where that rumor came from. I never have been, and I doubt if I ever will be.

You must take the first step. The first steps will take some effort, maybe pain. But after that, everything that has to be done is real-life movement.
home son parenting
What's a good investment? Go home from work early and spend the afternoon throwing a ball around with your son.
hung looks
It looks awfully expedient. Things went down and down and down, and we hung in there with smoothing. Now that we're up, we're conveniently 'resetting' (the assets).
close expenses final living million saved spending year
You've got to have between 12 and 15 times of your final year's living expenses saved up. If you're spending $100,000 a year now, you should have at least $1.2 million saved up, preferably $1.5 million. If you're living on $300,000 a year, you should have close to $5 million saved up.
