Why do you support white cops hunting blacks boyo?

We should all be against people of every race hunting people of other races.

C'mon boyo!

Ok, if we had a little hunt like The Hunt, wouldn't be the worst thing in the world...

Very good to okay.

Weakest is #22 IMO.

Could be shorter.

1. Pay yourself first.
2. Know the difference between price and value.
3. Use debt strategically.
4. Leverage other people’s time and money.
5. Invest in assets, not liabilities.
6. Take calculated risks.
7. Always have multiple streams of income; never rely solely on earned income.
8. Reinvest dividends and profits- think long term.
9. Protect your wealth (e.g., through insurance, tax strategies, legal structures).
10. Prioritize financial education, understand the power of compound returns.
11. Avoid lifestyle inflation, control expenses and live below your means.
12. Seek out great mentors that are doing what you want to do; limit exposure to toxic people and thinking.
13. Build and maintain a strong network, surround yourself with like-minded individuals.
14. Know your worth, and don’t undervalue yourself.
15. Continuously focus on self-improvement; never stop learning.
16. Be adaptable and embrace change.

Still generic AF, but solid.

get a simple slim classic minimalist black leather card case. in 2023 all you need to carry is your driver's license, credit card, debit card, and $40 cash. keep everything else digital in Dropbox on your phone.

Sorry, but *everything* is not worth the time.

Worked retail for many years. Any idea what a PITA it is to work for a major retailer and have some customer wasting your time and theirs wanting to negotiate a price lower than what is on the sign for no real reason?

I get if there is damage [scratch and ding] or it is a floor model or something. But c'mon man, do you really think it is worth it to spend a half hour or more trying to get $10 off a Diaper Genie or some such?

If you can speak to someone who is able to adjust the price and you can make some sort of case for getting a discount [end of season, buying a large volume, etc.] fine. Otherwise please go back to the bazaar to haggle.
