No doubt many of you are aware of my new book, “Bachelor Pad Economics.”
But for those of you who are unaware of my new book it’s called….um…”Bachelor Pad Economics.”
Now before the peanut gallery starts yelling about “self promotion” and “selfless plugging,” Kate gave me permission to make this plug. And you might be interested in the plug because, frankly, it is my best work to date. Not necessarily in writing, but in terms of the benefits it will convey upon any man (or woman) that reads it.
In short it is a financial road map to your life. It goes through all the major (and minor) financial decisions everybody has to make. But instead of wishy washy, touchy feely, “follow your heart and the money will follow” BS, it’s based in reality with a heavy dose of street smarts. And yes, it also has my cynical, dry, nihilistic observations you all hate to love.
Ideally it would be picked up by a 14 year old as the earlier one reads this the more effective those decisions will be over the course of one’s life. However, it covers the ENTIRE financial life of a human. Everything from choosing a motorcycle over a car when you’re 16 (because it saves you money picking up girls) to estate planning when you’re about to keel over. So whether it’s for you or a loved one, there’s something in it for everybody.
Please consider purchasing it as it can only earn itself back multifold in terms of ROI.
You can find in in paperback or kindle.
Looks good.
FWIW, Clarey is right.
Bitching about his delivery style is like bitching about the container for the life-saving meds the doctor has just prescribed for you.
Kick backs? Or maybe I can resell for profit!
It is good.
I just bought the kindle version for iPad. I might even read it, I liked the “Decline”. A John Galt primer.
Meh
When choosing a financial adviser I always look at how wealthy the adviser is…if they aren’t wealthy I know their advice is as full of BS as they claim Christianity to be.
Right, because image is everything. You cannot tell by looking at someone if he’s got a box of gold and silver coins buried in the back 40, or if he’s absconding with investor funds to maintain his image. Wouldn’t a better strategy be to listen to what he’s saying and decide for yourself if it makes sense? And if it doesn’t make sense or you can’t understand it, to say no on that basis?
Heck, the richest guy I know personally (tens of millions of dollars of real estate in Leduc and Nisku, among other investments) is in his 70s. He’s basically retired and keeps busy by working as a greeter at the local Walmart.

Either his advice works, or it doesn’t. It’s up to him to prove it. Especially if he wants me to pay for it.
Actually, I advise against the pursuit of wealth and advocate minimalism instead. Why work hard to pay a 65% tax rate to support Stradivarious through welfare checks or a needless government job. Work less, enjoy life more. You know, become a liberal, but not out of laziness or a fear of work, but out of common sense and a self-respect.

Ah, you’ll be happy, then, if I minimally recompense you for your advice…
I liked Clarey’s book, Enjoy the Decline.
However I have taken an entirely different tactic. He’s pointed out where the easy money is. All this money the government is giving away to these looters makes them perfect marks.
For example, all the students with their massive student loans taking studies in some sort of “socialism study” like women’s studies: they like to live in trendy places and they seem to be in school forever. They make perfect renters for landlords like me… and the money is reliable.
For now.
Getting my revenge.
So Strad, you mean I won the argument? Thanks for your admission of defeat by not responding to what was said. Typically liberal wimp. Never addresses the topic to advance the debate. Always diverting, changing topics, saying things that never directly address the conversation.
Forest: I like the cut of your jib.

Yeah, give yourself a field promotion, it’ll mean as much as the first.
These days it might save you only in fuel for a motorcycle vs a car. The insurance is more on the bike especially for anyone under 25. Once you even the two out, you’re paying more for the motorcycle and can only use it for 2/3’s(if you’re lucky) of the year.
