It’s fun to watch a 20 month old boy interact with the world. Ben has discovered a great game to stay entertained:
- Locate stick.
- Locate object that is not stick.
- Hit object with stick repeatedly.
- If stick breaks, return to step 1.
- If object breaks, return to step 2.
- If parent freaks out, continue with step 3 as long as physically possible.
I’ve just read one too many essays on entrepreneurship, financial advice, etc. Here’s my condensed version on how to retire rich:
- Go to work. If unemployed, hone skills and ask people to pay you for them.
- Don’t buy stupid shit you don’t need. If you do, regift at the next required gift giving event.
- Don’t have kids. If you do, don’t send them to college.
- Don’t get sick. If you do, be sure to die quickly. If you have a family and you like them, buy some insurance before getting sick.
Now go earn some money with the time you just saved. You’re welcome.
