For some reason I began thinking about the day I would not be able or wanting to work any longer at a very early age. I’m glad I did that 40 years ago.


I did that when I was about eight years old. I recall that was when I learned of the miracle of compound interest!

What he is doing is much like the garrison at Rourke’s Drift or any other beseiged group with no place to turn but to fight.


Kinda close, but I would add, that with Trump, he is sending out runners to bring in the large reserves that are only an election away.

The mid-terms will tell us much.

Its up to families to teach character and financial literacy.

Both give huge advantages to children in life.

Of course this is the reason they are attacking the family non stop.

They want everyone to be helpless.

Time will tell.

Some people understand things more easily than others. Some were able to visualize how the compound interest curve became asymptotic to infinity pretty quickly. I wish I had understood it better sooner.

Lieutenants Chard and Bromhead were hopeful of seeing reinforcements as well. One group arrived but soon abandoned them to their fate.

Yes, the mid-terms will tell a whole lot.

I hope your are wrong, and fear you are correct.

I really would like to be wrong but I am a pragmatist and I don’t lie about anything, even in self-deception.
