Pope was a metal head? This just posted on Facebook. Hard for me to believe but it does look like him and he's wearing the papal collar.
it's called a clerical collar..educate yourself, ben. papal refers only to pope..
it just shows how retarded you are..you could have taken this with grace at the correction.
you kiss your wife/mother/grandmother with that mouth?
damn are you nasty.
citation? when did you ask me the question besides just now?
i find it interesting that you equate knowledge with wealth..so someone cannot be smart if they're not wealthy?
so bible. so primal.
money isn't everything jackass..peace of mind is.

Being financially secure, wealthy, "rich" whatever you want to call it takes a lot more than knowledge. I took the risks, saved, invested for decades and retired with a pension after putting up with the 8-5 crap for 27 years. It paid off and I knew it would. I retired young too, 54, and went on to do what I wanted to for years - farm, build a house in the country, etc. We now don't have to worry about money, budgeting, etc....we just spend at will. Haven't balanced my checkbook in 12 years. If I want to buy a $40,000 sculpture (which I just did) I talk it over with my wife, dicker with the artist and when it's all said and done....mail him the check.
Most of the members posting here (and I think that includes you) have no concept of deferred gratification. They're part of the selfish gimme crowd, wanting it now. They also have that Sanders/Obama socialist mindset - willing to steal from someone to give to someone else and then take credit for "how generous" they are.
It's disgusting.
Sorry, but life doesn't work that way.
thank your for your financials, but that wasn't the question..

Alfonse Capone had a very low IQ yet he had more money in comparison to Bill Gates.
Also Joe Kennedy made his fortune bootlegging with political and mafia ties set up a deal with a Scotch maker in Ireland just before legalization giving him a fortune.
Meanwhile my uncle is a cunt hair away from a PHD and makes 50k and owes student loans I make more cash than my uncle as a late 20's guy who got kicked out of school at 15 years old with nothing more than a GED I came from a broke ass hopeless kid teachers told me I'd live in a crack house working at McDonald's. Brains don't make money balls do I am a land owner and land around here ain't as cheap as TX by 40 years old I can see myself being very wealthy. Meanwhile my smart uncle didn't own a home until his 40's.
I don't consider myself all that smart but do read a lot and I'm good at math just only have an 8th grade education.

I don't think so but I get your point. Being wealthy is more than knowledge like I pointed out.

Own it, you fucked up as I have but learned from the experience. I used to trade alot using computer programs, etc., lost $30K once because like most newbs I rode the market down and got out at the bottom in desperation. I threw in the towel instead of staying in. I could and have given this group links to some of the best mutual, no-load funds. I doubt if my time did a damn bit of good.
I'll try again. First, you have to know who YOU are....your tolerance for risk, goals, etc. Taking a college course in investing helped me but I digress. Here's one of the best books on investing which by the way is mainly psychological, it's personal. "It's When You Sell That Counts" by Donald L. Cassidy.
Make money....

I do gots me GED Good Enough Diploma.
i knooooooow you're double-stuffed
they're my favorite..to hell with the flavors.
If they out the double stuff, you have to get the originals and throw half of every cookie away. You just have to or it aint right.
Accepting responsibility for yourself is most of it, the rest is just mimicking the other successful people.
Any idiot can do it.
