I don't have any doubts. Anyone can become rich in any time period if
they work at it just a little. The Standard and Poors Index 500 has
on the average returned about 10% per year. Some years much more,
some years big losses, but an average of 10% per year compounded. The
problem is most people do not save a percentage of what they earn. It
doesn't even take any skill or luck.


This is mostly the power of compounded interest, as you say. It's often
more than just simple compounding, as it represents ownership in the
future, and thus the amplification of wealth overall.

For some here, it may be too late (too old, too much learned
helplessness). But for any of you reading this who are under the age of
30, get out your calculator and see what the power of compounded
interest is all about.

I covered a lot of these points in a long article entitled "Life
Choices." A lot of people seemed to have liked it.

Survivalism is an important meme, or idea. But some of the most
important parts of survival have to do with finding a solid career, not
getting sucked under by deadweight spouses and friends, saving and
investing, and pursuing work that is both rewarding and enriching.

These are some of the themes covered by some of the writers we often
cite here, folks like Robert Heinlein, Ayn Rand, and others. While they
don't provide recipe books for how to find friends and spouses, what
to do when a job lays you off, and similar "short term, self-help"
advice, the messages are there if one fully absorbs the messages of
achievement, self-reliance, and even "paranoia."

One of my old bosses at Intel, the famous Andy Grove, had a saying
which got a lot of attention, most negative (from the liberal press):
"Only the paranoid survive." This means being paranoid about saving for
a rainy day just as it means buying firearms, just as it means
speculating about the consequences of a comet hitting the earth.

Of course, losing a job is a lot more likely than a comet strike is,
so it makes sense to prepare for this. I did so from my first months at
Intel, building up my store of saved money, what we used to call "
'**** you!' money," for obvious reasons. The people who couldn't escape
the "company store" were the people who have never saved enough of this
" '**** you!' money." Same as with people trapped in their jobs because
they can't afford to break free, or to move from a dying town.

Saving money is even more important that buying firearms. Heresy, to
some, but absolutely true.

--Tim May


Tim,
I was away for a couple of weeks when Gunner had his cardiac event. I read
most of the thread when I returned, and your take on the whole situation
really got me thinking. Along the way I started thinking "This guy didn't
come out of a job shop, he came out of the computer industry. I see from
your post above that I had the right idea.

A lot of what you said I tend to agree with. Lots of people make really bad
choices and the public, meaning all of us, pay for the consequences. Then
you write this post about survivalism and saving for a rainy day. Again you
sounded very plausible. Of course you were working for one of those
companies whose rise was so meteoric that it WAS possible for the workers to
be paid well enough to stash some away for the future.

Then you mentioned Andy Grove and I realized you just don't get it. You see
Andy Grove didn't get where he is today because of all the good choices he
made. He got there along with Bill Gates, Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, George
Westinghouse, and a long list of others because of, by your definition, the
BAD choices they made! They all took huge risks that ultimately paid off,
and are lauded as heroes because they won. Along the way though thousands
of others took the same risks, made the same decisions, and by the fickle
finger of fate wound up in the poor house.

So if these great men followed you advice this great country would surely be
a third rate nation. One might even argue that the safety net of public
health and welfare is what enables so many people to hurl themselves against
immovable objects again and again, until some succeed in moving them.

By your standard I too have made very bad choices. I have tried again and
again to start a manufacturing business to produce machines I have invented.
All the machines I have invented actually worked, and have been in
commercial use for 2 to 18 years. I also tried other ways of doing it.
I've tried to have others do the manufacturing, I've tried licensing, I've
tried giving the designs away. Despite the fact that I've gotten help from
numerous experts who all say I've done the right things I have still failed.
Each time some killer asteroid that no business plan could predict has come
along and wiped me out.

Compared to many others in this group I am quite well paid right now. I own
everything I have, no loans of any kind. I have some savings, but far too
little to even think about retiring in another 15 years, at 65. I lost a
hell of a lot of money in my previous ventures. I also worked for nothing
for years at a time, more than once. I got my social security statement
recently, what I eye opener! I hadn't even realized how little I made over
the past 20 years!

My dad had a heart valve replaced recently. He was very lucky, he had good
insurance, and has a nice nest egg put away too. That isn't what makes him
lucky though. While starting his business he had a severe stroke which
ended his career. The only reason he wasn't completely wiped out was
because I was old enough and worked hard enough to keep it going upwards.
The stroke wasn't in his business plan, and no amount of insurance would
have made any difference to the company's survival. It was pure dumb luck
that kept it going. Of course that makes him a lucky guy instead of the
schmuck who made bad choices and wound up on welfare.

What about me? I worry about becoming disabled for even a short time. I'd
be in deep **** in no time at all. I don't have a business of my own that
will continue to pay me if I can't work. What about getting really sick,
and needing hugely expensive treatments? I have often wondered if I'd have
the guts to refuse the really expensive ones and just go quietly. It
certainly would be far better for my family, at least my meager assets would
survive to help the living.

In the end Tim, I decided you are just a piece of **** for attacking Gunner
the way you did.

The timing of his attack pretty much established that for me. WRT our health

Luck is not the factor. Plenty of people--many tens of millions--have
savings, choose to obtain health insurance, and are not dependent on
the State for their wife's care, their son's care, and on not paying
all that they owe to hospitals, nurses, doctors, etc. who treat them.
They choose to buy health insurace and have savings ahead of buying the
extensive arsenal of high caliber weapons which CanopyCo. said he saw
recently at Gunner's workshop.

Of course, many tens of millions of Americans are quite a bit like
Gunner: no savings, choose not to buy health insurance, have wives and
children who watch t.v. and hang out in bars instead of working, and so
on.

The first category form the "basically prepared." Maybe not wealthy,
but basically prepared. Prepared for health setbacks, job losses, etc.

The second catgory form the "basically deadbeats." The famed "one
paycheck away from being homeless" people who spend what they earn as
soon as they get it, who buys rifles and handguns instead of
squirreling away money or buying insurance, who complain that "there
are no good jobs!" (because "Clinton exported them," or "Bush exported
them," depending on their slant).

More and more Americans, both left-wing welfare types and right-wing
blue collar types, and even some laid-off CEOs and executives (watch
CNN's Lou Dobbs for his New Protectionist commie crap), are drifting
into the second category, nattering about the need for "a social safety
net" (tax those who saved and bought insurance to pay for those who
didn't), protectionism (have men with guns tell us who we may buy
from), and "basic healthcare" (socialized medicine).

It's a far worse danger than what we face from the Iraqi and Afghan
freedom fighters who want their countries back from under the boot of
the Americans.

[cut timmie's blather]



Sometimes they *think* they are prepared, but things go to hell
anyway. I've had clients in the evil welfare office who did
everything you say they should. One particular case comes to mind
(although this is only one of many) where dad had a good job, they
were buying their house, had lots of savings, investments and so
forth, one child still at home and one adult child. Dad had a
massive heart attack, couldn't work, couldn't afford health insurance
(Cobra) after they had run through all their savings and investments.
Mom couldn't work because dad then had a stroke and couldn't be left
alone. Private in home health nurse cost would have been more than
mom could have earned. All they wound up with was his Social Security
disability and small amount for her and the child. They sold their
house (hadn't had it for very long so not much equity) and moved in
with their married child. All they got from welfare was MediCal.
Sometimes things just go to hell; it can happen to anyone who isn't
"wealthy" like you are.
Sue


The right (or wrong) set of circumstances, and just about anyone can be out
on the street. Don't matter how rich & famous (infamous?) someone may be,
the only gaurantee is death. Any day, any moment, no certainty of seeing the
day's end. Nor of being healthy and with a roof if it does come.

Sure. And most of us have lived paycheck to paycheck at one time or
another. But few had time during those periods to spend all day on
Usenet lecturing on what's wrong with nearly everybody and everything.
That's beyond goofy and well into weird. How weird? Well, we need a
benchmark of weirdness, so we'll start here
http://www.ucomics.com/newsoftheweird/index.phtml

It's a collection of weird news articles, often featuring such items
as the tale of the vocal poster-girl for a church-sponsored abstinence
program.... who suddenly finds herself embarrassingly pregnant.

Here's a sample -

"In March, Awards World magazine sponsored the inaugural "Awards
Awards" at London's Dorchester Hotel, handing out awards to members of
the British awards-presentation industry for the year's best awards
shows. Spokesperson Barbara Buchanan explained, "Everybody likes to
win an award," even the people who give out awards (who staged
ceremonies for about 1,000 major presentations in Britain last year).
Although Buchanan called this year's program a success, she said it is
disqualified from receiving any awards at next year's Awards Awards.
[BBC News, 3-5-04]"

Now, let's see if the following item might fit in at the site.

"Using the frequently weird medium of Usenet, a California man is
attempting to set a record for the most opinions *and* the most
contradictions... ever. His campaign strategy is simple. For instance,
while personally a wealth-challenged individual, he prefers to lecture
on macroeconomics. He writes that he's knowledgeable about medical
matters, yet cannot see the connection between a Dale Gribble
lifestyle and hospital bills. A self-professed survivalist, he's
fiercely critical of society's loss of self-reliance, while at the
same time three generations of his own family require public
assistance to the tune of a half-million dollars and counting. As if
all this weren't enough to qualify for the record, the fellow seeks to
clinch the title by claiming (from atop an office chair) that he's a
"workaholic" and "well-grounded in reality", all the while obviously
spending a huge portion of his life online, and posting his views
hundreds of times per week."

Yup. That's weirder than the Awards Awards and the pregnant abstinence
spokesgirl put together. :-)

It's a lot easier for things to "just go to hell" for
people like Mark who live paycheck to paycheck.

Finally a bit of truth from Carl.

You are, as usual, delusional, Mark.

"truth" is not defined as 'Mark agrees with the
statement'

And yet another.

How cute! Mark's following me around like a little puppy.


I just had to find out where the stink was coming from.

possession of a firearm, he will immediately start to foam at the
mouth and begin kiling children at the nearest school. The proof of
their insanity is that they actually believe this."

Do you have anything else against the shrub?
Recall how Gunner & his ilk took it when the Clintons suggested
doing something? Or Kennedy (and probably others) before that?


I think it goes beyond the shrub, although the right wing spin machine has
certainly distorted the issue for the majority of feeble minded dittoheads
and the like.

For what the Democrat party base has become - John & John are the
"centrists".

Sheesh, a gold digging war criminal and a trial lawyer. What a pair.
