Getting rich or not
Clearly I made the right choice. I know little about the arcane science of getting wealth. Other than four words. Buy low sell high. I have never put much energy into the whole affair because there are so many others who seem to have it all figured out. Or not. All those stock market reports are destined for someone but for those of us with a rational amount of money we need not pay too much attention. Seeing the future president of the United States ring the bell at the stock market exchange left me indifferent. I guess that is how some people believe that they belong to a church. If you ring the bell you must be getting in touch with your personal God. Now where was I. High finance. I came across some videos this morning that tried to teach me about the way that interest rates and house buying are interlocked. I thought about it for a few minutes and realized that they too have to deal with the buy low and sell high. The video never entertained the difficulty of getting that first house. Now I have been a homeowner for about four decades I have owned or will own someday different homes that met my needs of staying warm and dry in the winter. I have never understood this need to flip a house when the house is working just the way it should. To all those people who post their homes on a real estate site realize what it really says about them. They make poor choices and are then left trying to rectify a problem right now we are waiting for our personal interest rates in this country to settle down hello from the little I’d learned from these videos the odds are against us. Not a great time to be trying to buy or sell much of anything. Unless you are already rich. I should ask someone who is better schooled in economics. Do you realize that the school system leaves this subject untouched. Probably because our teachers are also uninformed or poorly educated in the mechanics of getting rich. I did see some movies about robbing banks but they seem to date back to the days when people got away on a horse. I do not own a horse either.
