I have to agree with you on that. When i was in 6th grade, I asked my teacher "how do people afford luxury cars", her reply was "oh, they studied hard in school". Now i am in the working world and i have to say that is crap. Financial literacy is more important than just blindly "studying hard".

goldsilverandiamonds Hey there. Yes its so damn true. Honestly, at times i really feel misled. Since elementary grade, I was forced to study hard and produce at least a B grade. In fact, my teachers even used to say that if you can't score good grades, you will end up struggling for money. Now when i think about that, it makes me really mad. I scored straight As in school but today I am barely surviving by working in some company as an engineer. To make things worse, the thought of being retrenched also haunts me. Today, I will still argue that schools force us to learn a lot of irrelevant theories which we end up not applying. In the future, I will make sure my kids are financially literate instead of blindly memorizing formulas and theories in school. Cheers.

goldsilverandiamonds Thanks for the encouragement and you are right about schools. They simply train students to become obedient employees. Although I have a tertiary education, I am just upset for the reality is very different from what I was told when young. My parents used to tell me how getting a degree will enable me to make "lots of money", which is far from the truth. Like what you mentioned, the wealthy guys are business owners, investor's, or inventor's/creators and seldom employees. Well I am an aircraft engineer and this is my first job out of college. What about you?

Even if he is over 100 miles away, you make sure you get there!

He enjoys it on a daily basis from the money he has flowing in. The businesses and real estate are just a form of parking money instead of letting the government take it from you. Don't think he spends/invests every penny he makes, but rather just enough.

I can't take credit for this Dave. All I did was hit record :)

Chris Farmer 　Thanks for posting. The part where Robert said about Obamacare, the taxes went up even more to like 70% for Self Employed. That is scary.

Chris Farmer Thank you for recording this!

James, I completely agree with you. Tony and Patti are such wonderful people.

Thank you Dave. What a great weekend!
