Trigonometric Life

Our life based on 3 main elements, one is our own health and second is our family and third one is career. These three are tightly integrated and the change of one definitely affect the other. I attended a farewell party in one of my ex workplace, he was in late 50s and decided to retire from work, at the party his 18 years old son also attended. He started speaking about his achievements, how he built the company etc and finally looked at his son and he started literally crying because he didn't know anything about his son, he missed all of his graduations, he didn't know what he like to eat, he didn't know his favorite game, he was very much into work and couldn't spent time for his family. There are something's we can't get back and one of the main one is family especially our kids growth is ineluctable . So all okay, if we spend more time with family, we can't advance our career, there are many people waiting in line to finish or take care of our job

Is this world become a better place to live? What are the advantages? Obviously this world become a flat, trade and investment flowing

The Hitchhiker's Guide (2) to the Liquidation

For Starters Save Money in to saving account -> After it grow 5K -> Move to a money market account -> After MM account Grow 10K -> Move 5K to Mutual funds(step by step) -> After Mutual fund grows 25K -> Move to Stock market (Remember diversify) -> After stocks grows at least 100K -> Invest in real estate For Pros Sell second home for gain -> Move 50% to again Mutual funds -> Buy an other home at upcoming places(like Idaho, Montana) full or partial down payment(or internationally) -> When Mutual fund grows some move into stocks -> Sell stocks at 50% gain -> Buy 3rd home some where at North Carolina or Texas - For Retirees Sell all home -> buy a home at Big Island -> move all 401K to money market account -> NO MORE LIQUIDATION. It was easy for me to draw the above map but it is really very hard to progress. The main issue is, we are all prone to unexpected expense. But I believe a soli
