@beatwallst @CoachSchoen22 @Cernovich Yup. It's such a telling question. People who choose blue would rather die than live knowing they lived because others died and those who chose red are willing to sacrifice 49% of people just so they live

@CoachSchoen22 @Cernovich Anyone who chooses red admits they don't care if others die so they can live.

@ContrarianSaver @DeniseF64462030 @LargeFamDad He’s just stating basic facts and observations.
Having kids isn’t even a decision to make to anyone with a functioning brain.
It’s just what you do.

@DeniseF64462030 @LargeFamDad Yes! It sounds like he’s trying to convince someone to have kids - or justify his decision to himself.

My boss's boss is like 42, never married, no kids. Earns $275-300K per year. Goes on a minimum of two international vacations a year w/ his girlfriend. 10+ days, all out.
Eats the best food, stays in top notch accomodations. Excursions, tours, nicest beaches, etc.
Great guy, I'm happy for him.
But what I've realized is that without kids, you end up chasing a lifestyle that has to continually be topped in order for you to be satisfied and find happiness.
What he and others like him don't understand is that when you have children, seeing THEM experience life's most basic things and watching their eyes light up at all the "firsts", brings greater pleasure and joy than any vacation or travel experience ever could.
Seeing THEM try blueberries for the first time is greater than dining at the best 5 star restaurant in Europe.
Seeing THEM learn how to walk is greater than walking the Great Wall of China or strolling along the most picturesque beach.
Watching THEM giggle uncontrollably at "peek-a-boo" tops any A-list comedian act.
Seeing THEIR excitement when building a fort out of cardboard boxes and making a door big enough for daddy is superior to staying at 5-star resorts.
Flying kites with THEM far outweighs excursions like parasailing or helicopter rides.
Seeing THEM perform a recital on stage for the first time is more rewarding than watching a Broadway show or top notch symphony orchestra.
-----------------
When you have children, all of a sudden you realize that life's greatest joys are not in the pursuit of things or pleasure or travel, but rather in the LOVE and bond you share with your very own image bearers.
Seeing the beauty and magnificence and wonder of life all over again for the first time through THEIR eyes and expressions gives you something the world simply cannot offer, nor even come close.

@citizen2891 @money_cruncher You and the bank have an inverse relationship in this situation.
They won, and you lost.
The benefit you had was a low mortgage.
By paying it off, you lost.
English

@beatwallst @money_cruncher Who TF cares about the bank!?
I did this for my own benefit - screw whatever the outcome was for the bank!
English

@citizen2891 @money_cruncher The bank holding your mortgage had a loss on its books, and by paying off the mortgage, you bailed them out of that loss.
That’s how bad of a decision that was.

@money_cruncher It makes 100% sense for ppm like me who wants *ZERO* housing risk and best return. I had enough in a 5% HYSA to pay off my 2.25% mortgage, all FDIC insured. When I paid off the mortgage, it freed me to put the entire payment in the S&P at avg 8-10% and keep zero house risk.

@MOFO_Finance @Cernovich I wish you were right but after Covid it should be clear Americans will do whatever they are told.

Gold and silver will not be confiscated because then people won’t allow it again. If and when full digital money comes it will be backed by gold as the world will have to reconstitute itself together in someway bc everyone will be equally screwed. You need to have land with self sustainability and half of your assets in PM and the other half in cash/equities as we go towards 2031 and beyond. The rest will work itself out.
