I drink your milkshake! a metaphor for capitalism

[rickyb]

Your point is it went down the past couple of years?

no

 

[rickyb]

Exactly. Of people in @rickyb age group hadn’t spent the majority of their adult life chasing nonsense. They could capitalize right now. Instead, they will complain.

i dont think bitcoin was nonsense.

were not talking about it being a good investment although with the current high prices and us being on the end of an employment cycle its might not be a good time to buy, were talking as honest religious followers, about whether it will even be affordable in a few decades and is the idea of "move" a reasonable response to the current system or do we need a trucker protest?

Yes, we are talking about being a good investment. It’s great to have a home. The property I’m currently in has served me well. And now I have a lot of equity and as the next phase of my life is beginning, have a lot of options.

It’s always a reasonable response to move. People move all the time for better opportunities. only a fool stays where they are if there’s no opportunity for advancement. Sometimes Moving doesn’t even require just a city or two away.

And I bet you didn’t invest in that either. I don’t fully embrace it, (mostly because I don’t quite understand all of it) although I do have some because diversity is key.

Moving has always helped and doing that has always been the wrong thing.

You are currently doing number two

but other times moving makes no sense. Waste of time and money if you are not willing to make the effort to improve your situation.

No way!!! I could’ve never guessed

There’s a lot more opportunity than you realize and you’re smarter than you think.

For sure, the idea that I have is that most people willing to do the hard work to pick up and move are probably willing do the hard work to improve their situation. Exceptions to every rule, of course

i doubt its always worked.

Do you know what Definitely never works?

Being skeptical and doing nothing.

being skeptical is good because it prevents you from the losses if you fail

Its more about making the effort than where live. That being said, I would quickly run away from some hellholes.

I don’t consider myself financially savvy. I’m very conservative with my money and I’ve done well and so can you, as long as you can think outside of the box a little bit.
