    My interest in whole life insurance is not so much about the life insurance itself but the ability to house cash in a tax free environment that guarantees growth and offers the ability to use the cash when I want.

    Do you have kids? Wife?

    Not sure it's necessary unless you're looking to make sure they're provided for if something happens to you.
    I've never had life insurance, as I don't want to give my wife any additional motivation for my untimely demise.

    RIP.Gilbert Godfrey...guy gave me a lotta laughs in my life. Went to see him in
    NYC at Caroline's.
    Definitely one of the good guys, imo...and one of the first victims of the cancel culture, if you remember.
    Sad.

    finding growth is a different deal but if you put all your cash into hard assets and put them in a trust with your wife and kids where you are the trustee
    then borrow upon the trust for whatever you want to do for growth
    people that have controlling interests in trusts are given better credit terms by lenders
    because, trust
    but dont trust me
    i dont got no credit
    i dont bring home no bacon
    i dont spend no money
    i dont capitalize nothing
    i dont know nothing about nothing
    but i do trust in the community
    trust is good
    as is your local community bank-like entity

    Personally, I believe it will be hard for me to let go of the ownership but trust, a trust is in the plan. Not until I have $1MM minimum in assets I am getting taxed on and brother I am about a million miles away from that right now. I come from the mud.

    Went to tne VA to enroll for the benefits, which I never did before.
    Utter and complete insanity.
    A madhouse.
    And a din that tries men's audio limits.

    yeah i always wondered what it was like in a VA
    people always told me i should use my benes and go there but i just didn't want to see inside
    nor did i think those benefits, of which there aren't enough, were for me
    always had a feeling it would be like one flew over the cuckoos nest meets and invalid weigh station

    If you can, you don't need the experience. Nope.
    Not at all.
    Idk why, but while I was waiting, I thought of HBO's Boardwalk Empire, if anyone remembers that. The guy was sitting there waiting for hours, and he meets an ex sniper who had half his face blown off...and they gave him a mask to cover the missing half up. With an eye painted on it. That was WWI, and it was state of the art then.
    A sad, and sobering place.

    The higher up on the hill the closer you are to the ocean.
    As the air goes rare and escapes the atmosphere the moisture becomes heavier.
    And you are breathing in mucho water mixed with your oxygen.
    Your bronchial alveoli become secondary gills.
    So you feel like you are slowly being waterboarded.
    All day everyday.
    But you gotta live on the hill for a long time.
    Before you can swim with the fishes.
    And still resurface.

    Make sure you spend plenty of time down under the high waves with the landlubbers.
    Keep a good gas exchange in your blood.

    That that was great episode of a great show.
    And a great part played by a guy with a pedigree.
    This mutt is from the Huston acting family.
    As well as the British royal family and the Rothschild banking family.
    Which is probably how he got the Ben Hur gig.

    How about Walter in The Treasure of Sierra Madre...and when he does the little dance? Being directed by his son, John, who I though was just perfect acting in Chinatown...?
    Pedigree is right...

    And just like his pedigree his q rating is subtle and slowly rising.
    In 5 years he probably gonna be replacing the leading men and getting the character roles with the juice that they dont have from years of being atrophied by commercial appeal.

    Apple to me, now, is in SF/ SD level hatred.
    I would love to boycott apples, but I love them too much. And it's not the fruit's fault. And it's the Beatle's label.
    And Johnny Appleseed was cool, I think.
