You were hanging with Michael Jordan, Oprah, and Bill Clinton on weekends. People who keep using these 90s and 2000s stats lost the plot. And if in some way you were affluent when you were growing up to be dusty now, that's a failure on you and your parents.

A Texas couple was sentenced to 40 years each in federal prison for running a fraudulent pyramid scheme that defrauded over 10,000 individuals nationwide out of

Well, at least it's not Atlanta this time? Or New York? Or Miami? Either way, Covid fraudsters need to just come out clean now for a chance at a better sentence. Balling out for 2-3 years to see you when you are 70+ is wild.

I know a lot of people going through life from 25 to 45 just like this. Pure financial crash out. They are going to be working until their bodies give out, give or take 62. I didn't say 72 on purpose cuz the millennial breakdown is going to hit hard.
