We arnt married we are postponing our wedding untill we have enough to buy the duplex. been together for 4 years so we are pretty sure. she doesn't live with me due to cultural differences she has to stay living with family untill she is married. so it's only me being subjected to this mess.

Although my kids get to travel to some amazing places and experience new cultures, there is no place like home.

It’s funny how the mind works when it comes to fear and what our cultural beliefs are .

See the Chinese government doesn't care if the US cripples them in trade because it will help them devalue there currency and consolidate there holdings but it will cripple there people and make them lose all there money.

A lot of the buying in Seattle is by Chinese trying to get their money out of China before their economy shakes out.

I dislike a lot of cultural norms of this country, the one I hold in deepest contempt is complacency, followed closely by ignorance and the general cheapness and selfishness that consumerism has bred into us.  

The cultural experiences are so rich when we travel on a budget.

We starting talking and the topic of cultural differences came up.

Here I can feel comfortable surrounded by like minded folk, who are moving at their own pace and want to be successful and make money.It is also very enlightening and comforting to me anyway, to see so many different cultures and ethnicities represented here on this platform, and we are all here with pretty common goals, learn, network, interact and if we are lucky we also get to help someone out.Stuff can get crazy out there, I hate reading the news and listening to bi-partisan discussions about today's issues or non issues made into issues.Here it is peaceful, we all want to better our lives, interact and have successful investments! 

I believe recent "event"  have postponed the problem, but with more and more uniformed millennials reaching adulthood every day the issue will not be corrected until a crash.When that crash happens everyone will be impacted whether they prepare or not, and there's simply nothing that can get the masses of Tide-Pod eating, condom-snorting millenials to reject their pop-culture educations aside from that very same economic collapse they are hell-bent to see.In other words, I recognize that it is inevitable and that there's not a damn thing I can do about it.Until then I plan on being smart with money, investing in real estate, and avoiding wasteful debt on items that aren't income-generating assets... expert for my truck and pets lol
