If the lion kingdom had a very promising career ahead, there would be value in putting its entire net worth towards a house near the job market & planning to get much higher paying jobs in the future to pay for it.  Helas, the lion kingdom's career isn't very promising so the only plan is to take the money & get out of dodge.


Moving away from a job center & retiring is a scary prospect for lions. It would be a lot easier to retire near jobs & come back if necessary. There's also the prospect of watching later generations making millions every month. The lion kingdom is probably going to retire or get forced out in the next 15 years, definitely before age 70.


The prospect of delayed retirement & working until age 70 didn't happen to generation X, despite all the media coverage 20 years ago. The plan just shifted from fixed income to stonks. Stonks might be considered the fixed income of the 21st century, in that currency debasing has replaced bonds in funding governments & stonks follow currency debasing. The interest that bonds used to pay is now the fed balance sheet. It is quite sad that mom had to work until age 70.


After 2 decades of reading Suzie Morman, Robert Kiyosaki, Dave Fry, Doug Kass, Jim Cramer, Dave Ramsey, lions have concluded no-one really knows how money works. Kiyosaki was very focused on high manetenance real estate investments. Most of generation X followed his plan. Ramsey was very focused on passive mutual funds. Millennials followed his plan.


Kiyosaki said 401k's were a scam because they were just investment vehicles in the stock market & the stock market was guaranteed to lose. Suzie Morman emphasized large cash positions 20 years ago. In the last 10 years, she became bullish on stocks.


Lions see the same playbook from 2011 taking shape now, manely massive infusions of quantitative easing to fund the gubment's latest stimulus packages, sending stonks to 60,000 & beyond. Interest rates are going nowhere. The key inflation indicators, electronics & B movies, will continue dropping in price. The gubment will call any inflation transient.






After 25 years, the textbox finally exchanges data on the clipboard with most X programs including Chrome, Firefox, Openoffice, & Nedit. The middle mouse button clipboard is still unreliable. There's finally an undo history, but it too has some bugs. It's overall better than most X programs, at least.
