WSJ Commments Essay | What Happens When a Whole Generation Never Grows Up?

At first, I wrote a long winded bunch of words .. no need, my close ………….. too many people complain that it’s too hard or expensive, even older people my age or my youngest nephew, complain. It is true they and many other generations were “sold a bill of goods that was not quite right”….


WSJ – Comments … so much fun

My most favorite topic, demographics. I’m the last year, I was born in 64, I had mostly all older siblings and cousins, I cannot believe how easy most of the last 40 years really have been.

WSJ comments – When ‘Middle Age’ Arrives in Your 20s – Sorry it’s good for you.

Being straight forward, when you start having kids, middle age comes fast. No kids, middle age will come later. Moving on. Those feeling it at 37-38 -40, I would opine that, it is a little late. Your best working years, and spending years are 35-55 give or take. They are stressful. Hurry up. Marketing is…


A further update; it appears they would rather have a fox run the chicken house.

They use consideration and then act. They see tomorrows much clearer. This does make them a bit slower, but thought and consideration…


WSJ, section piece on Luck.

My comment – Luck is everywhere. Look in the mirror, consider your life and those closest … honestly. If you believe you are wholly responsible for you success or failure, you likely won’t believe in luck. Without ruffling to many feathers, consider the who, where and when you born and how opportunity really starts. No…


WSJ – retirement – save it or throw it – The Yoders.

Read anything on the Yoder Family and their history, it is a “life well lived ” They will do retirement just the same. Really good. There are 2 schools of thought on stuff, and a whole lot of emotions between. A) Save it all, look at it and smile, great memories. B) Thin it out,…
