I'm a bit older then ...Bleak dude, very bleak.<br /><br />I'm a bit older then you and never did anything else but work for myself-I never worried as my philosophy has always been, make the money, spend the money, make some more. I earned and spent lots.<br /><br />Still with the spending part of that, I was a millionaire by 49, almost in spite of myself. That's cash in Nevis, not some liability vs assets stuff.<br /><br />Was being the operative word here-it sure is different being broke in this country now as opposed to being broke in 1990.<br /><br />So now I'm old(er) now & broke on top of having a skill that, to say the least, ain't in demand.<br /><br />Being the optimist that I am, I'm planning on getting wealthy again-it's actually kind of exciting.<br /><br />I hope the shooting part of the story holds off until I've gotten a pile together again-I can still keep my groupings tight but my reflexes are definitely waning a bit.<br />MM<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247350212550914879.post-56945394928751441302015-05-18T06:52:02.250-06:002015-05-18T06:52:02.250-06:00Brian, NAFTA and the great sucking sound began in ...Brian, NAFTA and the great sucking sound began in early 90's. Automotive suppliers to the big 3 were the first casualties. Now our government will be selling us out to pacific rim. If our representatives gave a shit we would tax the piss out of overseas mfg goods with a huge VAT and eliminate corporate taxes on US based product. Streamline immigration as feed-stock for the jobs created and establish a flat tax.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247350212550914879.post-66682879196002906732015-05-17T18:02:54.707-06:002015-05-17T18:02:54.707-06:00Wow great articl - Sad but so true.Wow great articl - Sad but so true.Falconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17982564738775440885noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247350212550914879.post-24659283947012068222015-05-17T16:15:25.618-06:002015-05-17T16:15:25.618-06:00Brokaw retired to Montana, according to a map seen...Brokaw retired to Montana, according to a map seen elsewhere, which has the lowest ratio of 'immigrants' (Muslim refugees) to Americans of all 50.<br /><br />Idaho has one of the highest.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247350212550914879.post-88646848496596156662015-05-17T15:41:18.416-06:002015-05-17T15:41:18.416-06:00Quoting Brian;

People like Warren Buffet..."<br /><br />Me thinks that old money can keep us kicking the can for a while still.<br /><br />At least we'll be good at kicking cans by the end.
