Who's The Worst Of Them ALL to work for?

whether or not you meant it as protection against inflation, you still have to look at the profit potential as that is what protects your future. If you convert all your savings into Gold / Silver / Platinum, and the dollar falls, then you still have made money. If the dollar is replaced and has no real value, then you can convert metals into a stable currency based on the fact, once on the bottom it can only climb.

Yea, what was the subject?

 

Good question C-Moore. Perhaps we better get a bi partisan investigation going to find out what is going on here.

 

It has been said that "Poor People have Poor Ways!" Some are happy in a shack with an out-house out back. Some like to drive beat up old pick up trucks and then there are those who want to live a little better and be able to afford life and the costs that go with it.

Everyone has a dream and most love the idea of getting rich, but most won't do anything about it other than play the lotto, or visit a casino in hopes of hitting the big one.

No my friend, $17 per hour is chicken feed and a reason, you need work done on your home but can't afford it at present. Then again, life goes on for everyone; even the happiest or the poor side of town.

 

$814 yesterday morning. By afternoon it was down a little. Have not checked today.

Good comments. You are keeping your eyes open and listening. However, most can not afford to speculate with Euro's or British Pounds at the rate of exchange as high as it it. However, Dinar's and Dongs are supper cheep at the moment and have the greatest potential for profits in the near future.

I don't know how you feel, but as far as the economy goes, we have all been living on credit so long, with the high numbers of second mortgages and consumer debt, if shoppers max their credit cards this Christmas, next year (2008)will be a down year.

 

It's obvious we aren't on the same page here. I'm doing fine. I hope you are too. I wish you well.

 

Yes, I understand! You are happy with $17 per hour and would not walk across street to pick up newspaper if someone paid me $17 bucks an hour.

I have not been speaking in riddles. However, I won't expound on the subject here.

 

Lucky.... repectfully... your a nut. You dont believe in this country alot do you?? Ive made more in the last ten years then a lot of people anywhere else in the world. What does what you are saying have anything to do with making 17 bucks per hour?? If you know so much, WHY ARE YOU A TRUCK DRIVER???? Our economy is great, and i continue to make money. I dont think you are investing properly. Im a trucker and I am retiring in 15 years at 55. I invested in OUR country. Be a little more positive huh? Its not as bad as you say. I've proved it.

 

Lucky 142-Sounds like you have gotten in on the infomercial trading train. Hope you make a bundle. But don't talk down to a man who is making 17.00 an hour and is happy as heck. You never know what circumstances may occur in your life good or bad. You might be asking that man for a job or loan some day. Hope not, but stranger things happen every day.

 

As for my Patriotism, I am a firm believer in the Constitution of these United States and the Bill of Rights. I have written many times about those who took it upon themselves to change this nation by writing the Declaration of Independence.

I also, think it is a travesty to allow our Representatives to continue to get away with trashing our Capitalist nations by promoting Socialism while practicing Greed, Graft and Corruption.

How can you say our economy is great?
International Debt - We borrow from China to pay China for goods to fill our Stores.
National Debt - It's in the News almost daily and it is mentioned on C-Span Daily
Big Government - High Taxes, Poor Economy
*** Bankruptcies and Foreclosures at all time highs.
*** All of our great jobs have been closed down, or outsourced to other countries.
*** Our Borders have been wide open for more than half a century and our illegal alien problem is well knows to those who pay attention to the news.
*** Cost of living has steadily climbed in the face of Union Busting, Factory closures, Company Downsizing, Outsourcing to other Nations.
*** Replacement jobs do not meet the cost of living standards and far too many are forced to work two jobs.
*** US Households are said to be 30% users of Illicit drugs.

I could go on and on, but since things are so great in your mind, why is the Government worried about the economy for 2008: i.e. 2nd Mortgage money is dried up, Credit cards are almost maxed out and Christmas Shopping in in full swing. Inflation of the cost of homes and the Property Tax increases have caused many to loose their home to foreclosures and many more are going to follow. Far too many designer loans taken out by succors.

If Credit Cards get maxed out this Christmas, look for a terrible 2008 US Economy and the Fall of the US Dollar very soon, to be replaced by the Amero.

Why?

Sorry Pal, but you need to do your home work before you start talking about personal finance in a world such as we live in today.

By the Way, I quite driving and sold my equipment because of the Corporate Greed, Government Graft and Corruption.


No, my friend, I am not a nut; a little eccentric perhaps, but I know where the money is in this country and how to protect my assets. What about the rest of this country when the US Department of Labor states we have a 95% personal finance failure rate in the US?

You have received a lot of information within these threads and you don't seem to be reading it.

Good luck.

 

Big Duker, how can anyone argue with some one who is as happy as pig n s h ? Life has no guarantees, but it does offer education to those who wish to receive it or discuss it.

Infomercials: Not hardly! But, I do love to talk economics and personal wealth planning to those who care about their futures. Problem in this country, is most people just don't care and that started several decades ago. I believe it was a man by the name of Gilder who wrote, Wealth and Poverty about 1980/81. Since the mid sixties, this country has turned to a country of users and takers and no body wants to really work for dreams. Heck, their too busy complaining about what they can't have.

The complacency in this country has been so bad for so long, I am not going to change people who don't want to be changed. Heck, they won't even open their eyes to see where they are, so we know where they are going. So, I say my little peace and move on. I will make a statement that I could back up though: I could take followers who learn and produce six and seven figure incomes within a matter of months. Can you? The $17 dollar man can't!

There won't be any chance for me asking someone like him for job or a loan at any time; now or in the future. But is does happen to people. I know a couple who live on the lower side and he has been in jail for drug use and now, after cleaning up, they are both in property management and making good money. Still, they don't make enough to cover what is coming down the pike and they have no idea of what it means to plan for their future.

No, this $17 per hour man seems to handle his money well and he says he is doing okay, but we both know where he will be in a few years or less; still struggling on a low paying job. Retirement? With what he can put away on a $17 per hour job or earn from investments will not cover his medical and other expenses when his pay has decreased by 40% or better. Ask any accountant with a little longevity.
