4- looks like all of the California rental market just got a lot more precious, where we in San Francisco have been dealing with this for a long time.

They can barely afford to pay their mortgages and taxes there and live in perpetual fear that they'll have to downgrade or move their kids out of the school system they're in, an unthinkable loss of social status.As their kids grow, they unthinkingly strengthen then strong and weaken the weak, culminating in too many avoidable instances of weak, brittle, fearful young people of privilege who are unable to deal with any sort of real adversity and only really do anything when faced with the possibility that inaction might significantly damage their own precious social status, documented daily on Instagram, Facebook, etc.So in my private life of old friends and family, I find myself somewhat hemmed in by incredibly hard-working people who care a great deal about social status and constantly make utterly inane excuses about why they're all so damned broke as they drive massively depreciating cars and live in houses that are dumpster fires of various expenses.

Stop listening to rumors and fake news.With all the complaining, I don't see anyone talking about what would happen to their precious job if we had stayed the course.  

It's amazing to me that today, with all the info available on the internet and here on BP, that some people still take their hard earned PRECIOUS RETIREMENT INCOME and throw it at some stranger. 

Of course, this is only one man's observation and opinion.With regards to financial freedom, it means you own the most precious commodity in the world. 

It’s like talking about putting an LSD in a transmission or quantum mechanics just because people should take time to know about it, and form some level of intrigue, does mean that crap is important to them at this time in their precious life, you can especially expect that from the ones who put a lot of pressure on themselves and can’t quickly open their minds to simple conversation or new ideas, so i wouldn’t take it personal.As stated above, become a high level educator, and keep bringing up new ideas to everyone to help bring perspective to their life < you will most likely value from it the most.

I slightly do but time is also very precious. 

It's about having free time, the most precious commodity money can buy.

Real estate, farmland, precious metals, etc.

Thank you all so much for spending your precious time to read my words.
