"Please don’t misunderstand: I do not foresee a return to the gold standard. There’s simply not enough gold available, at any price, for the world to go back to a gold standard." I'll never understand this line of reasoning. There are likely several reasons why a gold standard is no...

But as previously mentioned in this thread, domestic cars = more foreign parts. I guess shitty foreign parts don't last very long.

Eliminate minimum wage and this could happen (theoretically).

Those are exactly the types of jobs that I'm referring to. Companies like JCI, Honeywell, and Trane pay HVAC and controls technicians around $12-15/hr to start. That's with a minimum of 3 years experience. A good tech tops out at around $25. Granted, they do get some overtime and a company...

True. Also, she has an IT degree, but I'll bet anything that she has no IT certs (CompTIA, MCSE, CCNA, etc.). Without the certs, nobody is going to hire you.

There will be a steady supply of immigrants, both legal and illegal, to repair things. Unless you're a union worker, those jobs don't pay relatively well either. You'll top out at around $20/hour. Better than nothing I suppose.

This was one of the worst books I've ever read. His observations are surrounded by a compilation of fantasy stories and fabricated financial scenarios. I actually don't believe there ever was such a person as "rich dad".

$70k is nothin'. At Florida State, which typically has some of the lowest university tuition rates in the country, a PHD will cost you $80k. That doesn't even include undergrad tuition.

This is why community colleges need to start offering 4-year degrees. The first two years of college should be relatively inexpensive. I can't think of one good reason to attend a 4-year university for the first 60 credits. Complete waste of money. Also, Monroe College, although it's fully...

Why does the older crowd always assume that anyone who complains about money must not live within his or her means? I'm under 30 and personally don't know of anyone who buys $200 jeans or racks up $500 happy hour bills. Sure, a couple of rich college kids might steal daddy's credit card and go...

Most newer homes in SoCal, Florida, Nevada, and Arizona don't have basements.

I found his birth certificate, guys! :D

Less people collecting unemployment. That must mean that they're finding jobs!

Many <STRIKE>months</STRIKE> years.

I suppose that it depends on where you live. In the southeast, I see lots of 10-15 year old econoboxes in the $2-3k range, typically with 75-125k miles.

This guy would make a good fiction writer. I shouldn't have to tell you that there are a lot of crackpots in Cali. Try taking a drive through Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa, Nebraska, etc. You'll be completely surrounded by agriculture. No food shortage there. I guess it's just a California thing.

"Even if the recession ends later this year, the job market will remain weak. Companies are expected to keep cutting payroll through the rest of this year, but analysts say monthly job losses likely will continue to narrow." I find these articles humorous. How can the economy be getting...

I believe that your entry strategy contributes more to your success than you realize. As far as I can tell, the money management doesn't appear to be anything special. Just a 2-pt stop and 3-pt T/P. I understand that you intend to increase the number of contracts every $700, but this doesn't...

LOL. Do you honestly think anybody is going to trust you with their system?
