 Money really doesn't buy happiness--and too much of it really does buy problems.

And yet, I'm not volunteering to give mine away.

I figure he's invested in Berkshire Hathaway A ... maybe 1000 shares worth.

Saw this and thought I'd pass it along...

https://www.cnbc.com/2024/10/22/peloton-costco-partner-to-sell-bike-for-2024-holiday.html

$1995 with the 48-month extended warranty built in is a good deal, even better if you have the executive membership which will knock another $40 off in your 2% reward...
I can buy a lot of walking shoes with that,why the hell is it a grand more at Costco? Courier fees? They'd move a lot more,IMO - by splitting the difference.Perhaps SF Badger can help a poor guy out with one gotta stay healthy so i can borrow more

It's the Bike+, which is normally $2495. So it's $500 cheaper at Costco. And with a better warranty included.

Helping another human is a very rewarding activity, even if it's a very small thing.

I got to the gym in our building 4-5-6 times a week, interspersed with running and throwing, and swimming in summer.  It's a small gym, but functional.  I'd guess 80% of time I'm the only one there.  We have maybe 250 residents.

This area is prime for walking, and we do walk quite a bit.  At my age, it's a good thing to do.  My "running" is getting slower and slower,  the broken toe didn't help.

I don't know if that will happen right after the elecition or not, but he is correct in that a major correction is going to happen. We as a country cannot continue to print and spend money the way we are now and not face major repurcusions.
I'm absolutely certain this SHOULD be true.
But I've also heard it my entire life.

If the citizens are too powerless and/or incapable of forcing the gubmint to pay up, what the hell does it matter?  No one outside of our gov't has any power whatsoever to enforce it to play by any of the normal rules of finance.

This is like 9 bajillion times bigger than 'too big to fail.'

Problem is that "too big to fail" doesn't mean it won't fail. It just means that when it does, it'll be a catastrophe.
