Everyone is here to do business, including yourself by your own admission.

@Taylor Jennings it's about more than just what's admissible in court - it's about what can land you in court.

Maybe your friends will accept your admission gracefully and help you feel better about abusing your relationship.  

As far as I'm concerned, positive cashflow is the price of admission for a long-term buy & hold and appreciation is a bonus.

By his own admission, he didn't have any formal training in finance other than that required for a loan originator.A RMLO (mortgage originator) is required to take a 20 hour class and a 100 question exam, about as in depth as a real estate agents license as to laws pertaining to mortgage originations.

I went to a few, well 4 actually in different counties close by and spent $40 in June (4 x $10 non-member admission) lol...so I think it's cost effective at 150 for the year and I can go to everything I want.

The MH/RV Hall of Fame in Elkhart, Indiana has a huge library of historic and current information available to read and sometimes copy for the price of admission.

Membership is $100 and is worth the price of admission as the network is rather large and extensive here.

I guess an ancillary benefit is that IF you have a payroll and don’t want to share a policy with your employees because it is too generous then insurance products are an alternative with an expensive cost of admission.

Today, admission to college is a function of wealth more than ever...sad!
