  • Wealth is a Vicious God

    Brandan Turner is a real estate investor who has been in the news lately for taking some huge losses with his investors' money.
    The quote is that "wealth is a useful servant and a vicious god"
    Basically, you need to know when to stop trying to chase more and more and just be content that you "made it."

    The video below is informative.
    At one point the host compares life to a football game.
    Basically, if you have achieved financial independence, then you don't need to keep making hail Mary passes. You can just run the ball up the middle, or better yet, take a knee.
    There is no need to keep taking risks and going for broke after a certain point.

    I am going to say watching that puts it into perspective. I have been recently asked if we wanted some risky investments. and I haven't had time to reflect much on it. I suspect the answer now is no. I don't really want to do it.
