I think lack of financial education is one of our country's biggest failures in the last century. 

The bond issued by a CFD is considered a lien against a property and failure to pay the tax can quickly result in foreclosure since Mello-Roos districts are subject to accelerated foreclosure laws.Basically its double taxation.  

I have had the thought many times that I should jot down how I got where I am and where I am going so I can look back when I need to and see how far I have come to re-energize me to keep going.  Almost like a journal,...

I don’t know many that took a shortcut—but I could tell you numerous failure stories about those that tried.

Most people that crash and burn get bad assets and might combine that with cheap pm and or contractors or ones that will quit due to unreasonable expectations which is a recipe for failure. 

I have had three of these boxes in one building for about three years without any failures, although I am the only one who knows how to program it.

Our standard lease forms do not carry the same weight for security deposits vice the regular rent payments (that is to say there is no language in the lease template for failure to pay the deposit when it is presumed paid already).

They know that letting it fail would cause a Tsunami in the global markets, and its failure would be a political devastation to our economic power worldwide.

Oh besides social security, medicare and... oh yeah those are both government failures.
