Yeah, would likely require you to understand data and economics. If you really worry about $60/hour minimum wages, you also don't understand much else about economics. You also, likely don't understand Deflation.

I have learned that people all over use different abbreviations for different units of "10's". Some industries use K for 1,000's, some use "m". Sometimes people use "m" and other will use "M", which might mean a different unit by a factor/multiple of another 10x or 100x. If you have...

Here is another twist on retirement, as it affects how people view it. Do you want to die simultaneously with the exact moment you spend your last dime? (no estate, no inheritance). Do you want to leave your kids/grandkids a small chunk of change? (Nothing that changes lifestyles, $10k or...

If you can sleep at night, do nothing. If you are losing sleep, spend less and do more repairs and inspections. Other than back pain, can you sleep? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Only if you choose to live a life where you ignore data. The plural of anecdote is not data. You absolutely need to use the CPI and other measures of inflation if you want to know inflation rates. That is kind of Econ-102 class material. And if you don't understand it, that could be an...

There is an old creek, just out of town, that some people have dumped some trash down....

Ok. Much different. I know people with pensions that spend every dollar of retirement income, every month, as they know new money comes in the next month. I would not be wired that way. I have saved and invested every day of my life since I was 8 years old, and I can't see that...

What would cause one to not be able to live off of $3.2 million in retirement funds? That is a large chunk of change, and could generate significant income.

Were you asking this thread on your behalf and situation, or was it rhetorical and / or generic, and had nothing to do with anyone in particular.

It is a device he uses when he doesn't know what the subject is, but has an unstoppable need to spew. The amount each person needs is unique to each person. Assuming this thread is about Tom, Tom will need to answer the lifestyle questions, or, otherwise it ends up being a lot of anecdotes of...

What are your expenses? Got the house paid for? Like new cars or old cars? Gonna live in NYC or SF, or gonna live in Podunk, Mississippi? How high of a standard of living do you want? What will you do for medical insurance / care?

Guys that make fork-lift operators look safe in comparison. Much higher risk, more danger. Think about OSHA shaking their head and walking away..... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If that was the case, I would never be able to hire an employee. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Not a big deterrent..... I am having issues with employees who live along a border with a state that legalized pot, and trying to figure out policies. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I make no claims to understanding liquor sales and laws outside of my state. I have a good thing going, and can get access to some amazing Bourbon and Rye at true "retail", what ever that means, as it is not inflated by a profit system. I am a big fan of Communism when it comes to State-owned...

I need to get into this bottle of Thomas Handy Rye........ and the Willet Rye....... and the Eagle Rare 17..... Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Shocked if it is there. Those prices are a bit inflated for retail. But worth buying at those prices if you want Pappy, or, if you want to make some "kinda" illegal money and buy/sell them. The "kinda" grey market is quite a bit above those prices.

I, for one, anxiously await the next great trend when the unwashed masses leave Bourbon for something else. This unneeded difficulty in finding good Bourbons is just annoying.

Yeah, because "award winning" just ain't good enough....

I worried about this a lot..... as a kid..... when eating watermelons.....
