Steps to getting/staying debts free
Well THAT was depressing. Guess not feeling much in the way of positivity/hope-tivism since the election. Folks experiencing some serious doom/gloom, dappled with lotsa lotsa regret. Dunno if it will be as all bad as predicted, buuuuuuttttt … we do have direct past experience so very likely to be quite horrid. Saw that a federal …

Seems this election cycle has sent the nation into a bit of a tailspin. More than a few folks been uninvited from the family holiday feast … out in the cold, as it t’were. One young woman had her mother and sisters unfollow her life on FaceGram or InstaTok or whatever, when she voted for …
Called a lawyer to see about inflicting some financial injury on the face-tatted, poo-flinging monkey. Gah, doan wanna, but hey … don’t start nothing, won’t be nothing. Good news – bit of a packrat, so kept all communications, contracts, etc. And megeddit … times are tough for everyone. However. Why make it tougher on a …

Anyhoo, are where we are, and getting to a better place. …
Saw a video about how the Webb telescope is just making the case for GOD as the Creator of the universe and everything in it (heh / didn’t need $10B for that) and during which a member of the panel discussed how 2023 was the hottest year on record … and went on to state …
Feels a bit like being trapped in the cycle … vortex, perhaps? … of debt, repayment, debt, repayment, ad nauseum, ad infinitum. OK, so the Elder needed work done on the house … had plenty of cash / wait. Back up. The Familial DOs currently living in the home of Elder mentioned a few issues …
With investing there is a novel little concept called “standard deviation,” and what that means makes no sense to me, so will share with you.

The key to success in the stock market? Go long, be boring. The wisest wisdom says to invest/buy into the stock market for the longest possible term, then stay in a little bit longer.
