It could be worse. Dipping sauce @ $1.75? No way!

I go to Starbuck's when my wife wants her favorite mixture ......If they had to depend on me .....a different store would be in it's place.

Talking about Warren Buffett, on TV he said it wasn't right that his secretary should be taxed at a higher rate than he is.

Also, according to the article, he plans to give over 99% of his wealth away.
Sounds like a nice guy.

He can say anything he likes.
It's good for business when it makes him seem like a nice guy.

So far he has given away 51 billion dollars.
Lives frugally.

I will gladly let him give away into my bank account.

Me too!

The article said he and his wife still live in the home they bought for $31,000 years ago. They also clip coupons.

Well, I'm a budgeter so think that's great....more money for him to give away!

One thing we cannot do is judge him or anyone else. We're not remotely qualified to do so. With that said, he is a very wise and fascinating person and is warm and very likeable.

I agree. It always impressed me when he said his secretary shouldn't be taxed at a higher rate than him or other wealthy people.

The wealthy have many loopholes that were created by both parties for their benefit while average Americans get squeezed for every penny.

For some reason I couldn't read the article.

But was it a loan she asked for?

I recently watched some videos by a travel vlogger. I think he's about 32, from Italy.
He said he was brought up in a family that had money and he had a good life.

However, his parents made him work for something he wanted...a want not a need. He said he started working at 14 years old.

Anyhow he ended up with a good work ethic and even a business by his early twenties! He is also kindhearted trying to help the local poor where he travels.
