“you’d be shocked how people almost ALWAYS inherit the financial habits of the household they grew up in”
Totally true in my case. My approach to personal finance consists of being super super cheap and acting like I’m about to go broke all the time even if I’m not. Exact same thing my parents did. Oh and my biggest investment will soon consist of timber land, same thing my parents did. Nice to know I’m really thinking outside of the box here.
” — yes, somewhat — teaching in P.S. with helicoptor parents you have like 30 bosses with all different opinions. Most stupid. ”
A friend of mine, who used to teach Public School in a fancy pants part of Long Island, where the parents drive expensive sports cars…told me…that parents were miffed that she didn’t have a PhD! BAH HA HA HA HA! They wanted a PhD to teach **precious junior** how to add 2 + 2 or spell C-A-T! BAH HA HA HA HA! Entitled morons.
rob, I wear size 14 shoes, so before the internet it was a challenge. Over size 12, stores used to charge more. When you complained, they say it’s cuz they need more material.
When you buy a pair of teeny tiny woman’s shoes and ask why they cost so much given the lack of material, they say it’s the workmanship. ha.
No problem, Cobble. Just lemme know.
