Shop mak Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 One of many pessimistic topics from black op's that I don't appreciate. The world has more than enough with C19, Ukraine war, and recession blooming. What we need and want in these times, is happy positiv topics, just to give us all a break from the harsh realities. Any hope OP? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Added to that . it needs to negotiate around holes, rocks, 50 degree slopes, ead bits of tree in the long scrub grass and be able to untangle itself from barbed wire. It needs to be smart enough to return to the shed for refuelling, to change from steel blades (which it will need to change on its own) to nylon cords, and at the end of the day wash itself down, go back to the shed, refuel itself, fit nylon or a steel blade and cost nothing to buy and do the job. After all that is what I do. I am 78 and work for nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BananaStrong Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Doomsday warnings started in 32,593 BC. That's BC you Christians!!!!!! Every single year.....................every year........................there were 100 million doomsday warnings!!!!!! 2023, however, is the one exception. I am set to die on December 31st at 11:59 so this year must be the last for everyone. Yes, I'm selfish and I hate all you falangs enjoying the bar girls like I used to do when I was just a young pup and full of hope and vigor or whatever that saying is.....Now I'm bald, fat, blind, lobotomized, and broke. lol 2022 wasn't good, except I did get in better shape versus 2021 so that's a plus. 2023 will be better than 2022. But don't tell anyone!!! Doom and gloom for the win!!!! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why we can not make life good for everyone, is because of our genetic memery. Our dna memory make some of us collecting, and others consuming everything we can get our hands on in case of worse times. So we have our self to blaim for who we are, or our ancestors.

LaosLover Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 23 hours ago, save the frogs said: The markets are either rigged or far too complex for the average person to figure out. Or both. And I don't trust financial advisors. Buy the total stock market index, toss in a total market bond chunk, buy a dividend ETF. Call it 33% in each basket. Netting out about 3.5% income, much better than the bank rate. Very low risk. If these investments ever go to zero, then civilization has ended and you should have bought bullets and opiates instead, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I came across a book once where the author recommended that people over a certain age should just stick to GICs. Probably the best financial advice I've ever read. The rates are good enough for me these days. And you sleep like a baby as there are no surprises. But thanks. P.S. I was challenging you in the alcohol thread. The stock market is very similar to alcohol. I've seen some people turn into degenerate gamblers in the stock market. To the point where it consumes their mind 24/7 and all the anxiety and fear that goes along with it. Fun fact. I dated a well-off Chinese girl once. She was on her laptop checking her stocks at dinner. Her stocks were apparently more interesting than me. Ha ha. I don't blame her.

It cost a great deal to birth you, raise you, educate you, keep you alive, transport you to wherever you are, feed you, marry you, give you a pension, etc. Not strictly correct. IIRC correctly I am a war baby and at that time it was the parents who paid to give birth to me, (No NHS in 1944). My parents paid to raise me directly and through income tax. Educating me (I left school at 15 and went straight to work). I joined the RAF as a boy, and for the next 25 years they paid to transport me wherever they needed me to work. They did not give me a pension. I contributed to it and I earned it. My wife's family and I paid for us to get married. When I came out and started work in civvy street, I paid my own way to work, live and feed my wife and son. I worked and was transported there at the company expense because they needed me in that place. When I went contract working the company that I was contracted to paid the agency I worked for, and the agency gave me a salary whilst I was working for them, but not after the contract was finished. I paid for the transport to get me to the job and return which I claimed back. If I went on vacation I paid for my flights and was not paid while not working. Any medical bills came from my pocket. The money I earned had to support me where I was working and also to keep my wife and family at home, paying bills at both ends and saving when and where I could. I also paid NI contributions for 44 years but when I retired my state pension was frozen at the 2009 rate Edited January 13, 2023 by billd766 corrected some bad spelling 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
