How much money for how many years did a med or law stoont lose until he was perfitable?

Bad idea.

As long as you keep the money flowing in, she has no reason to get rid of your crippled old azz. Give her the keys to the gold mine and some of those hospital drugs might get "misplaced" in your oatmeal, or rubbed on to your dentures.

Quote from short&naked:

I don't get it. If you are profitable, I'm sure she would have realized the cash streaming in. Why would she have such a negative reaction to something that works so well?

Because it is cash only long enough to buy more stocks, ETFs or royalty trusts. It all stays in the brokerage accounts. I live off of retirement and social security.

Most doctors don't get a regular salary job until they are 30-32.... undergrad, med school, residency, perhaps a fellowship.... by then most are saddled with $300,000-$500,000(?) in debts.

A friend of mine who was until recently single, told me he'd just finished paying off his student loans... he's 44.

My crippled old ass is connected to nimble talented fingers that she would find exceedingly difficult to replace.

I'll take her.


Two men are on opposite sides of the Earth. One is walking a tightrope. The other is getting a blowjob by a 90-year-old woman.
Both get the exact same thought at the exact same time.
“Don’t look down.”

Lol!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have 3-4 doctors in my extended family. Every single one of them hate what they do, they all wish they could do something with a better lifetsyle.

You never hear an engineer, fireman, doctor etc. .. Say, wow, its 4pm and i am done, time to spend great time with family and friends.

"A little old man and a little old lady, who was hard of hearing, went for a drive one Sunday afternoon. After pulling onto the freeway a policeman pulled them over. "Can I see your drivers license?" asked the policeman to the little old man.
"What, what did he say?" said the little old lady.
"He said he wanted to see my drivers license." replied the little old man.
" I see your from Monmouth, N.J." observed the policeman.
"What, what did he say?" said the little old lady.
"Said he seeswe're from Monmouth" replied the little old man.
"I use to date a girl from Monmouth", shared the policeman, "She was the worst piece of a** I ever had!"
"What, what did he say?" said the little old lady.
"Said he thinks he knows you!" replied the little old man."

Two 65 year old people, a man and a woman, walk into a hospital. The doctor says to the man, "I'll need a urine sample, a feces sample, and a blood sample." The man says, "What?" So the doctor says it again. Once again the old man says, "what?" So the doctor yells it, "I NEED A URINE SAMPLE, A FECES SAMPLE, AND A BLOOD SAMPLE!" With that the wife turns to her husband and says, "He needs a pair of your underwear!"

Quote from Arthur Deco:

I am well past the age at which death is no longer optional. I wasted ten years of my waning life seeking profitable index futures trading systems. Who knew it would take that long and cost so much? My losses would have fed a family of four in the Third World for a century. Anyway, my wife is younger than me, and no doubt will live until I am a faded memory recallable only through a photograph, perhaps gracing a younger man with her charms. But I am not bitter. I want her to benefit financially from my hard work after I am gone. So last week I sat her down with me and started explaining what I do. I even created a "baby" chart for Baby to use. You know, the essential one square inch on the display otherwise devoted to extraneous shit? Well, after a week she got it: "You mean when you enter a trade you don't even know if you'll WIN? And you lose THREE out of every four trades? And you don't even know how long the system will LAST? And you lose HOW much per contract when you lose? And you trade HOW many contracts? Is THAT what the fuck you have been doing with our money? Aaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!! (runs off screaming and tearing tufts of hair out)." I guess she didn't really want to learn to trade.

Bottomline:

If you were profitable or even at breakeven your wife would not react like that. If you were profitable and you showed her the trading game, she'd have just smiled and said, "that's great honey" - just as she would when you go do other shit with the guys. It would be tolerated.

Women know intimately about the money coming in to a family - their life depends on it. Even more so if you have children.
