- get out of debt...because eventually someone with a weapon will be at your door...to force payment compliance...
...self reliance STARTS here...
- save and invest “at least” 20% of your take home pay (after taxes)...work up to this via pay raises is the least painful method...
...concentrate your investment in “index” mutual funds (Vanguard or Fidelity or ??? is your choice) (that way when Coke decides white people are too white, you won’t suffer needlessly)...be cognizant of fees and use following percentages:
US funds: 28.5% International Funds: 23.5% Emerging Market Funds: 13% US Real Estate Funds: 20.5% US Bond Funds: 4.5% Emergencies/dry powder/cash: 10%
...do this with the goal of using annual dividends as ALL of your income in retirement. As the US succeeds or fails (long term), adjust your percentages accordingly...this is a “longevity portfolio” and not a “become wealthy portfolio”...
- Start getting healthy...
...proper hydration and eating responsibly will go a long way toward equalizing body weight to more normal levels.
Get active...start moving around again. There is no simple way of saying it...we are a fat, lazy, entitled nation. No one will be coming to help. Make a “get healthy” plan and start executing. The time for “maybe tomorrow” is over.
- Take the fight...to the enemy...financially...
...pair down your spending...become more discerning...stop the wasteful bullshit...
...the US economy is a consumer based economy. Your dollar is the most powerful weapon you have and it’s use in living a lavish lifestyle is your greatest weakness.
...the gov must have you (actually, your money) to continue to torture you. The large corp are in bed with big gov...and shoving it in our faces. They think you are too weak to go back. The time to starve them down and make them think twice before they continue...is now...
- One last word...
...all of these steps I outline are tested and effective...over thousands of years and through the worlds absolute worst moments. They are not special and require absolutely no special level of education.
I didn’t create them...but I did learn bits and pieces of them over many many years. I put them here only for those looking for ideas of “what do I do now”.
.As you start ingraining these into your life...you will be amazed at how successful you will become in unrelated parts of your life. Self discipline creates many more opportunities then the best education, family background, or “lucky breaks”. Not one of them is easy...why most don’t try...
...are you ready to change...you know it must happen...
“See you on the high ground”
...armed personal security jobs...get a skill...name your price. A growth industry...
PS-purchase of firearm and ammo for practice is tax deductible.
...you have reached 911. If you are hearing this, you should do one of the following:
- Buy a gun, ours are no longer available to the public for protection.
- Vote individuals into office that don’t use the service we provide for personal enrichment or re-election.
- Move somewhere that doesn’t answer this service with a machine.
...good luck and leave a message after the beep....

...is an idiot...perhaps it is you who should leave...
...New York should keep Cuomo...
...he sounds like a huge doosh...and probably represents New York constituents quite well...
...about what your gov is doing to you, you just may be relying a little too much on your gov...
...those that would say or do anything to curry favor with the side perceived to have the most money. Especially if being so guarantees them a cut of said resources...

...modern day survival of the fittest...
...those of means that can leave...will...
...to build the conservative movement is to allow normal people to suffer under liberal tyranny...
...it is safer for people to just use their brains and common sense but sometimes an unexpected and swift kick in the teeth has a tendency to be longer lasting...
...that is all...
...in violent crime in which a person who was not legally able to have a firearm...the first charge dropped was always the weapon charge...
...pissing into the wind...trying to hit an electric fence...
...anywhere you see the word public, please replace with the word government...thank you...please enjoy the presentation...
...that rich pede/pedette that has an electric vehicle, towing a trailer with running diesel generator, that is charging the vehicle while in motion.
...that someone didn’t say the dog was just defending itself against police brutality. I guess they think they still need the secret service...
...on each other. It only takes one decision between two terrible choices...other people’s money is running out...
...keep sending $0...
...looking in...remember that the Great Depression affected the world. Unless you are a sustenance farmer...whatever happens here will ripple through you rather quickly. You can laugh...until you cry...
...disagree if you want...at your own peril...
...for the negative red numbers...
