Why I Joined |
"All that is gold does not glitter; not all those who wander are lost." ~ J. R. R. Tolkien |
Best Financial Decision |
"You will continue to suffer if you have an emotional reaction to everything that is said to you. True power is sitting back and observing things with logic. True power is restraint. If words control you that means everyone else can control you. Breathe and allow things to pass.” ~ Unknown |
Worst Financial Decision |
"You think you have to want more than you need." ~ Eddie Vedder |
Current Investing Strategy |
Stay rich. Avoid debt. Resist the temptation to take unnecessary risk or overinvest simply to create a "bigger pile." Know when you've won the game. |
How do you manage your finances? |
"The problem, often not discovered until late in life, is that when you look for things like love, meaning, motivation, it implies they are sitting behind a tree or under a rock. The most successful people recognize, that in life they create their own love, they manufacture their own meaning, they generate their own motivation. For me, I am driven by two main philosophies, know more today about the world than I knew yesterday. And along the way, lessen the suffering of others. You'd be surprised how far that gets you."
~ Neil deGrasse Tyson |
