Having some money is VERY important, being ultra wealthy isn’t as important. Lots of happiness studies and research reflect this.

I’m self employed and started in 2025. Opened through vanguard. They are 10 and 12. Time value is on their side.

Managed and was the attorney for a title company in OKC and our main client was a subprime residential lender. We were still busy but it started to slow a bit later in 06. I felt the business was going south and started working in oil and gas but turned my former employer into a long term client.

I was still single and lived in an apartment. In several ways 06 was the last year in a certain phase of my life.

Less people but if we grow the size of the developed world that matters more.

They should have spent billions, redistributed wealth and taxed their citizens more. That stops climate change.

That’s the most amazing part. Unfit to be a presidential candidate BUT not unfit enough to be President.

Make it make sense.

Some of you guys need to go to the poli board or Reddit.

The amount spent was staggering and an example of governmental stupidity- I thought the explanations even seemed insufficient.

However stupid, I doubt there is anything criminal there. Seems vengeful and appears to be an unnecessary distraction.
