Oh… And one thing I had to give up (at least in front of my kid)…swearing…

[Coronita]

I don’t know CDMA ENG… I think you have A LOT to look forward to….

I mean, remember all those times that some parent took their screaming toddler(s) on the red eye flights across the country? You know… Those flights that you thought you would hop on to sleep for 5-6 hours in the middle of the night before your meeting the next morning with a client….flights that you thought only other working people would take… But oh no…. someone thought it would be a great idea to take their toddler that never sleeps at night onto a red eye flight so that not only those parents would suffer from insomnia, but just about every other person who was catching a red-eye for work would too…

Well, you can now exercise your constitutional right now to return the favor…

And if you have miles to earn you a free business class seat for you and your family…even better.

If you have money (and I don’t), just shut up and don’t talk about it….

Because if you have any sort of shred of wealth built or accumulated, obviously you must be part of the “rich 1%” (plus or minus a few points) that is part of the problem in the U.S… Hard work, savings, investing,living within your means, frugality had absolutely nothing to do with it…

Because it’s evil….

Just say you’re poor….

Congrats!….

Up again today…

I was really into theater in hs. Parents thought it was a waste of time. Turned out to be most valuable experience I had then.[/quote]

I learned the hard way in america, often times than other, it’s not about how much you know, or how well you can do it… It’s more about how well you can sell it….

Flu,
Do you trade options ?

It’s a great way to generate income and when done correctly and even if you’re wrong you can still often make money.

I know that you aren’t greedy with your trades.
Embrace options,,don’t fear them![/quote]

I’ve never gotten options to work…. I’ve paid my “tuition” to learn options aren’t for me….

I use to to write covered calls on stuff that I think was “stable” and wouldn’t move. The moment I write covered calls, the stock goes through the roof…

The only type of options I would consider is buying puts to offset whatever in the money stock options I have that haven’t vested. But currently, I don’t have that problem….

[Coronita]

[quote=HLS]My guess would be that it’s because you sold yesterday :-)[/quote]

Just shut up… 🙂
(No i didn’t, but I did sell some valero….Ok, so you have a point)……

But still. shut up… 🙂

Well if WhatsApp is worth $3billion, clearly “Yo” is worth 10million at least.

Welcome to .com 3.0? Is it 3.0… I lost count…[/quote]

What’s app sold to Facebook for $19 billion. It was Beats that was worth $3 billion to AAPL.

Same stuff happened in the last bubble. It probably gets crazier but I don’t think there’s that much rope left. These things happen suddenly. You go from a headhunter calling you every week with a new opportunity to a disconnected phone number when you try to return that call. There isn’t much time in between.[/quote]

Sorry I forget….

Oh…and …

Yo!

[quote=carlsbadworker]Have you seen this?

Yo

An app whose only function is to send “Yo” has raised $1.2 million in funding!

I am going to write an app that says “Shit!”.[/quote]

It will be just like a 1920-1930’s depression and we don’t have to leave it to the whims of central bankers as to whether they are spoiled or not.[/quote]

My kid said she was willing to work on the miata if I could find a pink set of wrenches……

That said, I’m not trying to push too hard. Just trying to get the kid to be more careful….There’s diminishing returns that to the point the kid gets frustrated and just doesn’t care….

I got my kid signed up for some drama lessons..In case my kid ever wants to be a politician…..:([/quote]

There must be some “Hello Kitty” tool sets out there?[/quote]

Haven’t found it yet… But you would be surprised what you can find with a hello kitty on it…

lol….. sort of…

[quote=treehugger]Over-achieving, smart kids, I can’t relate. My 14 year old step-daughter failed 9th grade freshman geometry. I would prefer she take the course over during the summer, am in process of tracking down the high school to figure out an approved course, likely on-line.

We are having a tough time trying to explain to our over indulged, spoiled little white girl that soccer, field hockey, and lacrosse are GONE until she proves she can keep her grades up. Plus her mom has filled her head with visions of UC Davis and Berkeley, now I the bad step mom am trying to explain that in a overachieving world even a B knocks you out of the running, let alone a D!

Anyone have kids that took geometry for high school over the summer, on-line or other?[/quote]

When I was in high school, I often took the classes in the local community college if that helps….

The nice thing about america is, there’s plenty of good schools so one or two or three schools in’t really going to make or break a kid…me thinks (I hope)….

[quote=SDowner]You verbalized the root reason for my post very well CA renter. That is exactly my frustration. I dont know if the financially responsible ones will come out the winners, just cause the govt and tax laws encourage a debt ridden society.[/quote]

I think a lot of us will. The ones that bought when the floor fell out, whether it’s a primary or rental or both..and/or the ones that are going to enjoy the next 15 or 30 years with an unheard of fixed rate mortgage…..and possible will sell at the top again in the future…

Rinse and repeat, over and over again….

As a wise person put it to me.. It’s not so much whether you’re going to win or lose… At this point, it’s a question of how much you’re going to win by… Which is an excellent point that I took for granted…

[Coronita]

I have needs and wants too.

I want a ferrari..
I need a porsche…
