Thank you for such a brilliant analogy. Wealth and Health go hand in hand. One is restricted or enhanced by the other of course.
I've read many decades ago it takes, consistency plus time to see lasting results.
Teaching folk what to do, and seeing them actually do the things of success is a noble, but so difficult task!
Thanks King Richard,
Lots of opinions in the comments. Mine is I want to be wealthy enough to not think about having enough money now or later. Rich is being able to have purpose and happiness in life. A pastor in a sermon said study after study has indicated, those who serve others are by far the happiest people.
I think also the richest.
I took out some cash from my bank and asked the cute teller, let's call her Aimie if she had made it to the Colo mountains to see the trees changing color. NO was her reply, TOO MUCH TRAFFIC.
I had just gone the week before on a Monday with a lovely lady friend. The poor teller is tied into the old week a day routine. Then Aimie asked what I had planned for the day and I said just relaxing and, she actually stopped her computer work and looked at me,
I believe that's not a usual reply. ;-)
Passing on educational treasures learned of life to an EAGER learner is a wonderful passion. Too often The "youngers" do not want to learn, but simply complain.
I truly wish to find even one that could be successfully influenced a little in the correct direction.
Good day everyone. I have a question about US savings bonds. There's a stack of them in my safe that are no longer gaining interest and I would like some advice as to what and how to do with them. I have a trust with real estate that will be managed by my sons eventually and I'm using that as the 'payment on death' receiver of all the bank and brokerage accounts. What would you do with these old savings bonds to be most convenient for the heirs?
Thank you so much!
Yes, do the correct things in the building stage so you can do the correct things in the dispersion stage of life. It's nice to not have to look at prices and, if there's a need you can be the one who takes care of the problem. I follow Matthew Chap 6 verse 1-3 and do things on the sly.
It just feels so good!
Well Larry, the use there of can bring some satisfaction. A famous 'money guru' tells of after building a large pile of wealth, you can have the 'most fun you'll ever have with money' ...
'You can be outrageously generous.' I follow in the Bible, Matthew Chapter 6, verse 1.
I paid off all my private 'credit' debt. That of course gives more income to save, or just do what ever. Doing what we can while in the building phase to max the retirement money is very wise.
Then, lowering the spending in the distribution part makes life much easier with excess money.
