Money and Happiness

[Money and Happiness]

OK, everyone, I am older likely than the rest of you and I have to reply.

 

First, when I was in college in the last Century, driving a '62 Chevy with a bad starter, etc and paying my way thru College AND barely surviving, I was MISERABLE.

 

In the meantime, I worked in the Silicon Valley, and sold my home and moved to the Mountains. Ran a couple of businesses...had 4 motorcycles, a Tractor, acreage, mountain lakes, Whole house generator, luxury cars and SUV's....you name it.

 

My conclusion: once we woke up and SOLD THE STUFF STUFF STUFF, with now even more money in the bank, I cannot be happier.

 

I have a bond portfolio paying our bills, we live in an RV full time and travel continuously. I could not be happier to have a enough money, and way more than most (no brag, just fact) AND no debt!

 

So, the happier I am is directly connected to LOW or NO DEBT, NO EXTRA's (vehicles, bikes, snowmobiles, junk), and CASH. It cannot get better.

 

The ONLY thing in my way: HEALTH.

 

So you are saying that, your happy now, but more so because you have security, meaning bills are all paid, no debt. And also happier because you got rid of all the vehicles, bikes all the other material things. Very interesting. I have always believed that material things like cars, etc.... only bring happiness at the beginning, but once you have driven it for a month or so, then that happiness goes away and then its just another thing. Now if you had fun with the cars, like lets say the reason you bought your bikes was to enjoy the ride, then i think you will be happier as oppose to you buying it for attention. I don't think that feeling will last.

[Why Trading Moving Averages Fail? Nr. 1 Loser Indicator]

One of the best and certainly most consistent traders I know successfully uses Moving Averages coupled with cycles.

 

You should reconsider.

 

"Cycles"? If you dont mind expanding on this. Never heard of cycles before
