The world is full of money, are you going to take some?

- Start date
Because not every one has the same ambitions, drive and desire. You can spread all the money around equally and within 10 years your going to have a wealthy and poor class of people, that's life.
Are red bricks an indicator for not having a sarcasm indicator
You recommend stocks and real estate? Are you rich? What expertise are you using to base those recommendations? Do you even own any stocks or real estate? Besides how can you recommend anything without first knowing if those things would be a good fit for someone? Or do you just go and throw around unsubstantiated financial recommendations?
At least you were right about stocks and real estate being "crook" free.
Because you reap what you sow.
No one deserves anything, but you certainly do earn the right to pay yourself whatever (or be paid higher if you work in a public company or as a CEO after founder) you want as the CEO of a company.
Whatever their reasons for sticking to 'the safe path', when I realized that most people are like this I felt relief: there isn't much competition! If you work your hardest at your talent you'll probably do very well, because most other people with comparable academic intelligence are happy being drones in offices. If they weren't, this whole thing might have been a hell of a lot harder.
I'm not just saying it. The day I looked around in the supermarket, the drugstore - everywhere - and saw mostly drones content with their salaries, I got the feeling everything was going to turn out ok. Probably one of the only times in my life I've felt 'faith' in something societal. Besides the garbage men coming every Monday, obviously.
people lost trillions in 2008/09 listening to the 'experts'. in 06/7 most economists didn't see the crash in either stocks or housing, and many failed to anticipate the boom that followed since 2009.
Then you can make Jon an offer and buy WF. The ban button would be yours alone. :thumbsup:
I used to work construction and got my first programming job at 29 after turning shit around. Now I have an office and have a blast all fucking day while gaining valuable experience that will make me rich because I can apply it directly for myself. But getting a job for someone else introduced me to avenues of wealth I'd never considered, so it's more than worthwhile.
Eventually I'll sit in costa rica or somewhere warm and relaxing, but for the moment I'm focused on getting up the food chain in my field of interest, money will come.
For the time being, my boss is awesome, took us out for most of last Friday on a boat he rented, bought us beer, bought us lunch, during work, and we raised hell downtown seattle on lake union for half the day. We have a foosball table outside my office and the owner plays it more than anyone lol He buys me new toys and shit almost daily, new kindle, new ipad, new windows 8 tablet, new galaxy tablet. And I make shit that works on them. It's a blast.
A small piece of what I make at my job:

People lost millions due to ignorance, lack of responsability and most of all, way to over leveraged. That 'magical' crash made me a few nice pennies.
As for housing well yes, they lost, again due to too much gearing with the banks. I know of a bloke who defaulted and lost over 40 properties - just like that.
The truth of the matter is most people would rather let others do the thinking for them. So even if wealth was distributed, these individuals who prefer others to think and act for them would lose the lot again....easy money this herd.
