I think the part that bugs me the very most -- is that people will spend all their time on finding the exact right part for their car -- and they'll spend 10 years hunting and gathering those parts and saving up for them etc.... and spend countless hours doing mock up and banging their knuckles... and LOVE IT.

Saving or investing for their f'ckin' future? Learning a minimum amount about it. Knowing how important it is to their LIFE... ZIP!

We'll pull the trigger on a $10,000 motor... or $4,000 wheels... even though by the time the car is actually running - they'll be out of date... but to imagine that we'd buy $10,000 of Altria (MO) and that it might go down to $9,500 and PAY US a 5% dividend... well that' absolutely INSANE. Who'd do that!


UGH....
