Pay Cash?

“Even if you buy a car with cash, you are forfeiting the opportunity of investing that cash and earning a return on it.

Career Job

“You work a job to make money.  You work a career to build something you value.  A job is something you do to make money.  A career is a life’s vocation.  With a job, you are always thinking about the time you won’t be working.  With a career, you are always thinking about the career even when you aren’t working….  The litmus test for determining whether you have a job or a career is this question (suggested to me by Gary North many years ago): If you could afford to, would you do it for free?” -Mark Ford

When it comes to making decisions about where you put your money, or how you spend your money, James Altucher say to “ALWAYS question the trillion-dollar industries that are paying millions to fool you.”

Forever a Fool

“He who asks a question is a fool for five minutes; he who does not ask a question remains a fool forever.” -Chinese Proverb

Stop Me

“The question isn’t who is going to let me; it’s who is going to stop me.” –Ayn Rand
