Not looking for deals either :)I also have no debt outside of my persistent behavioral problem with AMZN.

People definitely make a lot of excuses why X doesn't happen, spend their money on non-income producing endeavors, and engage in other counterproductive behavior if wealth is a primary goal.

It will be tough times for those I see posting comments on BP about how they BRRR to acquire as many properties as they can in as short of a period in time as they can because the get rich quick Guru said this is the way it's done.There will always be the irrational risk takers getting extremely overleveraged and then there are those of us that expect this behavior to exist in the markets and prepare to use it as a tool to our advantage when the time comes.   

If someone actually has a conviction, they have been at it for a long time and aren't likely to change their behavior.

It is to say that generally speaking, many are and many more wannabies disseminate this invalid, illegal, and immoral behavior that the experienced investors will not stand idly by and watch them do it without jumping in.

Hence my inquiry.I understand that people are complex and capable of a broad range of behaviors.

This was all normal behavior.

Show up, wear the uniform, do what you're told, follow the code of conduct, get paid.To go from that relentless structuring of payoffs-for-work and payoffs-for-correct-behavior to working for yourself...I think it's becoming more and more difficult in every generation.Do you agree with this?

Basically quarantine behaviors staying/sticking for the rest of eternity.

The crash was only ten years ago and we’re already starting to see some of the same behaviors.
