I found that I had to rebrand myself as “the apartment guy” instead of my current profession as “The Marine” — but as mentioned, most people in their forties have more real experience, capital, and know other people with capital.I guess it took me until I turned forty to realize that I wasn’t getting younger and retirement was closer than I imagined.

This will be much different as the fed has injected tons of liquidity.Fed has already determined who the winners and losers will be.The $600 a week stimulus from the feds is here to stay, at least thru the end of this year.Prices won’t drop, but values will drop.  

How many lotto winners are there vs. people that buy tickets?

When it's a tied vote, we flip the coin three times to determine the winner.

I spent 18 months in the Phillippines and saw some retired Marines and Navy guys in flip flops there.

Grew up in Marin County (north of SF).If so, where?

And I WAS the bread-winner, HAHA! 

So you're telling me there are more oscar winners that have been murdered than lottery winners?

The reason you keep hearing references to controlling spending is because of simple math:Income-expenses=savingsSavings is what builds net worth, through investing.People say increase income, but no matter how high your income, if your spending is greater, you will go deeper in debt.That is why there are movie stars, athletes and lottery winners who go bankrupt.

@Mike Mullins, No matter what industry a person decides to start a business in, there are always more losers than winners.
