Haha nice. Apparently you have a fixed # of hours you can listen to Pandora for free each month. I know this because I just hit that mark. I think it's 40 hours. I might be upgrading to Pandora One. No ads, more skips (why just more? why can't I skip until my heart is content), and better quality - all for only $3/month.

This is great and so true. I was one of the "failures" I guess only banking about $20k during the "golden age". The dedication required to be millionaire successful in that time period is often misunderstood in our community.

Interesting, well-written and thoughtful piece. It's the same as the real estate boom, you have to have been there, thought what to do & then gone out and actually done it, not just a case of location. You needed drive, understanding and to risk take, though it's less rocket science than poker is.

When I first came over to look at the apartment, before I moved in, I did a double take when I saw the living room (the living room was really small and narrow, do we have a picture of the TVs?) And I remember many times, trying to talk Emil out of buying that TV for the ceiling (and later, his bathroom at our new apartment, which of course he had bought a laptop for).

This is so true!

Comment on The Fast Reverse by Razboynik

Razboynik — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 02:40:18 +0000

The 'fast reverse' is an illusion, created in our minds, due to our misconceived perception of the world, spoon fed us by the educational system. Money doesn't give us freedom, on the contrary, the more money we have, the greater and heavier are the chains that enslave us to our society. Go and live with the Aborigine people of Australia, and experience real freedom. I am more than willing to help relieve you of your heavy chains. I accept cash, cheque or credit cards....

Amazing post. You are writing about an amzing truth in our community. I think as you progress, the drastic reality switch will be less severe as you are stripping varnish off a table less and less and drinking grey goose more and more ;). Good luck!
