My wife and I measure our wealth by friendships vs. dollars, and claim we must be two of the wealthiest people on earth. Hundreds of loving friends in our WI home networks. And similarly hundreds more in our AZ winter home family networks. We all define our resort friends as chosen families vs. adopted families.
In addition, which you will sadly label as BS, my mother birthed 19 children. I am #3, and we lost #5 at childbirth. And still, we can proudly and lovingly count over 60 first family blood relatives filled with love and forever kindness.
We learned many years ago that to make friends we must be honorable, trusting and believers of those who we want to be friends with. It takes a friend to be a friend vs. a skeptic.
And to remain friends we all live to the precepts of the most important word in the dictionary: Gratitude. Appreciated kindness.
We continually expand our friendship networks. Money doesn’t last nearly as long or have as much value as a trusted friendship.
I sincerely hope that you have a large and loving family of friends. You will be a happy person.
Open your mind. We don’t and never will exactly match your expectations. Want to see my MRIs?I doubt anything or anyone could please you. You must be a very unhappy person. Sorry to you.
It is all true for me, my family, my friends, and especially for my caregivers. They are all angels and receive my genuine thank yous and respect with every encounter. I live as full a life as Glioblastoma allows a 75 years old man. And have a spirit for living my last few months with love to all.
And funny to that, last week my healthcare provider sent me an unsolicited job offer in their marketing department. I certainly don’t need a job, but they recognize my zest for living, my honesty, and they seek the many positive benefits I could provide, and bring to supporting cancer research.
Last year I was the leading individual fund raiser out of nearly 6,000 fundraisers for the largest fund raiser in my State. That is not a financial brag although I donated a substantial amount. It is an acknowledgment of the many generous friends we are blessed with. Wealth is measured in friendships not dollars in the bank.
I hope you can find other walruses to be friends with.
You must make a good walrus. Does your suit fit? I am sure you do the part well.You doubt my government knowledge and connections. My Governor was my boss’s boss. And the Governor, as a consummate politician NEVER forgets a name and face. The next Governor was my best IBM customer when I was responsible for all of the IBM technology he ensured was purchased for every office within the Capitol — which also kept me in direct contact with legislators and Supreme Court Justices. My 3rd Governor friendship comes from my wife and I frequently playing pickleball with his wife. Unfortunately he didn’t play the game.Per my donations and fundraising, those are public records.
You are senile. My life is my story and it is true. One of my key exit concerns is covered by knowing my wife will be a very wealthy widow. Money can buy a lot of peace of mind as we have been investing further in our assets to ensure they are safe and protected from the likes of Elizabeth Warren and her wealth tax so that we can control who gets it.
You are so barking up the wrong tree. I am 75 yrs old, have voted 13 times for a President, (Wasted 2, one on Hillary, and one on Biden) but likely not voting #14 given my glioblastoma prognosis. After a while arguing with you knuckleheads about government isn’t even a challenge any more.How many of your State Governors know you by your first name? 2 for me. How about State Supreme Court Justices? 3 for me.Have you ever had a serious and deep constitutional discussion with a Government leader?It is enlightening what friends will share with friends.When was the last time you donated >$250,000 at one time to one cause? Great joy in doing it. A feel good moment that is only surpassed by your first $500,000 or $1,000,000 donation. Donations to selected charities are more fun than giving it to Democrats.
You do not grasp world politics either. If you paid any attention you would know that world leaders are scrambling to be Trump’s BFF.
I sent this Below to Sr Tech Writer, but it applies to you as well…You make for hilarious prose when you lie and claim you were not financially astute enough to pay less tax on more income during Trump’s first 4 years than you did during Biden’s tax and spend Democratic government.
If you pay attention, but you are not a financial guy so you might not understand, the trends are there if you study … Entitlements are one way in which Democrats create tax revenue.
Most all the Covid Biden Entitlement Bucks are spent, and the associated tax revenue has come “free” back as tax revenue.
And, if you really pay attention, you will see trends where Democrats support and encourage Inflation because the higher prices increase tax revenue. So do the increased wages and larger workforce that only Govt. Jobs can support long-term.
When a big Democratic Entitlement is planned, watch out for higher inflation to fund it. I feared for a Democratic ticket win just for that reason. The Pres. and V.P. were planning spend like we have never seen government spend before.
And per taxes … My wife and I have considerable wealth which we added to our Trust under tax-free philanthropy, primarily for cancer research. Multi millions of dollars.
We consider It our money that we can donate at hundreds of thousands at a time vs. Nancy and Bernie claiming it as Theirs because it is unrealized wealth that should be entitled to every/anyone. We say NO! It is our money not Nancy’s. It is our lifetime’s accumulation.
