  Bring my ex wife, who is recovering from colon cancer, and never should have been my EX wife, back to the Sates from Lebanon would definitely be my first priority. Next, go see an asset protection attorney about trusts and LLcs.  Next, never give my new unlisted phone number to anyone, especially family members.

  Sorry about your wife. Hope they caught it early and that she's doing okay.

  If you have riches you are wealthy. Don't be misled into thinking riches means only Money: To many people having a happy healthy family and being surrounded by love makes you abundantly wealthy.

  You speak very, very well here on this issue! In this regard, money is simply icing on the cake. However, so many people have the really good icing but the cake is all jacked up, leaning to one side, and has absolutely no rise. In my honest opinion, the best icing is only as good as the cake.

  Small games, frequent wins, and regular payouts 'cause.....

  True, but those people you mention have to work for someone else, making their employers rich in the process in order for the peons to have a happy healthy family.

  Working for others is a modern form of slavery, especially when the Elite purposely design the system so that only a handful make the real money, while the drones make them richer.

  Having said this, I do believe that every young person starting in life should work for a few years in order to build a foundation with virtues of responsibilty, discipline, and respect to themselves and others around them. Without these qualities, most will squander their wealth to trivial desires, or get into trouble.

  I could really dive right into the middle of this in full support while also making a decent argument for those who create jobs and employ others. It's a multi-faceted topic.

  I totally agree about the jobs and those who create them. What I'm talking about is the corrupt system set in place a long time ago by the elite. The top 5% get away with so much crap with loopholes, bribery, bullying, and a whole host of other atrocities, make me sick. All this while the average American, even the ones who make 100,000 a year work their asses off to make a living. 

  Talking about those corrupt fat cats who live like a king and not giving a flying fork about anyone else. 

  Don't get me wrong, kudos to those employers who offer jobs, but a long time ago the elite sealed the fate of the pay structure which was deliberately set to keep the masses at bay, and the rich get richer.

  It's all one big illusion that is working for the elite, and most Americans are eating it up like ice cream. There never was an American dream, just a farse that was dressed up to look like one. As long as the average Joe has a nice car, the latest gadget, goes shopping at his favorite mall to buy more useless crap piling up in his garage and a big belly, he's happy. Only If Joe had a clue about what's really going on behind closed doors. I firmly believe the Joes and Janes of this world will find out pretty soon. 

  As for me, I'm at a point in my life where all I need is my 4 year supply of popcorn. 

   

   

  No longer riding on the Merry-go-round, I just had to let it go.

  Uber has their own inspections.  Not going to get into this area of where people who are desperate to making quick cash.   There must be something in fine print about accident prone.

  Yes, that was on purpose with all the crap Uber is doing with stealing secrets, CEO being a jerk,  ect. 

  Sad part about Uber is how they really don't pay the drivers enough or allow tipping, but what is sadder is that both the people using Uber & drivers will do nothing about it.  I have only used it a couple of times, boss paid for it when he made me drop off a vehicle for repairs to get back.

  I would move to Rancho Santa Fe, Ca.  Buy a house and live a nice slow happy life.

  Ever notice how money doesn't really seem to matter, but only to those who already have it???
