We can’t control what others do and we can’t stop misfortune from striking. But we can control our own actions. Those who are financially prudent will most likely enjoy success, even if events don’t always go their way.
How uniformed and lazy thinkers, think – part one.
This is the first batch of posts from Threads that I found interesting and entertaining if not depressing.
Ah, just a thought, we old people paid our taxes like for 45 years. Sounds like this guy probably will really need Social Security and, by the way, it can’t completely run out. Sure 90% that makes sense. And yet hundreds of thousands have money for the NFL games and World Series and Disney and tattoos and nail salons and liquor stores. Must only be the top 10% in attendance. Well, I have a fifteen year old 401k and the one thing it isn’t doing is losing money- more than doubled in fact.
Advertising companies bank on the stupidity of people to associate their ads with unthinking people. You see all those ads selling liquor or cars or whatever with attractive young people having the times of their lives using these products. How about those political ads showing the right mix of people, even famous so-called celebrities, supporting THEIR candidate. B.T. Barnum is quoted back when as saying: “never underestimate the stupidity of people to make a profit”.
there is no pill for stupid and you could have found 100 more stupid and foolish statements–here’s the well respected financial commentator Michelle Singletary on student loan forgiveness;
“it’s unfair to characterize all those hoping for loan forgiveness as irresponsible borrowers…….they were often oversold on the promise of financial security and ended up with decades of debt. Some forgiveness is fair.”
Of course, let’s make the working class pay for the debt of college students because they were too naïve to know what they were doing. If you owe for a mortgage in Ashville, NC should we step in and pay off a % for you?
uniformed or uninformed? Few people in uniform are also lazy!
