Now, even poor people are fat, waste food, have the internet, have a car, have Air Conditioning, live in bigger houses, everybody has access to electricity, gas is relatively cheap, we have an Over Supply of Oil, roads are relatively well kept, tires last longer, instead of a car going 100,000 miles they go 300,000 miles, clothing is almost free at 2nd hand stores, bundles of clothes are shipped over seas because they can't be sold here, everybody has a gadget that fits in their pocket that gives them instant access to anybody in the world by entering a phone number or email address or URL, can play 1,000s of songs, and has far more compute power than what it took to put men on the moon. 

@Fradel Schaechter  Interestingly, I have never opened a savings account, but my wife is a big proponent of saving.I cringe at the idea of the bank deploying my capital to earn fat returns while giving 0.05% peanuts as interest. 

I can't quite live as fat on that but it would still buy me several hundred acres, a very nice, house several expensive cars, and enough long term rentals and franchises so that I would never have to worry about running out of money while I travel the world. 

I've cut some pretty fat checks to people that have brought me big deals. 

Follow the facts.Obesity is FAT people.

Go flip 10 of these great equity properties, make half a mill, and go throw that at 2m+ worth of high yielding rental property that doesn't come with a fat project associated. 

I've only known one traveling nurse my entire life and she's a fat disgusting deadbeat pig I wouldn't want in any of my rentals - especially for a short stay.

If you must have a stacker I would definitely provide it.   

After awhile, when we acquired enough homes and the reserve account got pretty fat, I've been less worried about this since it is highly improbable that all homes become vacant for one year at the same time; aside from that, only about 30% of our portfolio has any leverage on it - the rest is cash-owned, so the homes themselves are reserves of capital should the need arise.

I have a protein shake for breakfast, chicken salad (with low fat mayo and mustard) for lunch, and whatever my wife cooks for dinner.
