More than million annual income. The tariffs are just another tool Putin is having trump use to reach his goals. That is an America alone weakened and fighting its self. I honestly don’t understand how people can’t see that trump is doing everything Putin wants.

It looks like Europe and Canada will take over from our absence.
 
How do you guys feel about what the French said in Congress the other day? Trying to personally make light of Trump trying to do good things or if he is a traitor completely. Unfortunately I feel the latter but would love to be wrong. @UtahJoe ,is he or is he not directly strengthening the Russians and how? Is Europe endanger?

A milly annual income with a 1.5 milly annual run rate makes one poor. A 100k take home net w/ 40k annual expenses makes one wealthy if only focused on money.

But money isn’t the best measure of wealth, it’s merely a tool towards attaining true wealth. Wealth is having the TIME to do what you want, where you want, when you want, how you want.

I want to get up to go and do X (thing) at Y (location) at Z (time). The more control I have of this, the wealthier I am.

I HAVE to get up at 5am to commute to an office to do a job I can do from home with people I wouldn’t spend time with outside of work is NOT a measure of wealth, no matter the pay. The more I am beholden to a boss or company or whatever the less wealthy I am.

More money is theoretically unlimited, realistically one can always earn more if they’re willing to put in the work.

No one can earn more time, it’s quite finite and the more true control you have over time, the wealthier you are.

Easy to say if you have a decent paying job. Not sure a minimum wage worker with a family would agree.

Correct, a minimum wage worker in NYC with a family of four would disagree. The point here is their expenses out pace their income, so they’re poor. Of course more money would make a difference, like I said, it’s A tool, not the end all be all.

Like you I’ll cherry pick the dude worth 50 mill who offs himself cuz his wife left him, his kids hate him, he works 80 weeks with zero fulfillment, life’s pressures finally got to him and he ended his misery. Now tell me how lots of money made him happy?

There are many variables at play here, and more money is not the ONLY solution. When people focus ONLY on money they make sacrifices which further lock them into the money game and typically get more miserable than not.

If you believe there aren’t people on this planet who make little money and who are incredibly fulfilled and wouldn’t ask for any more out of life then I got a ponzu scheme you’d absolutely love.
