Cool story.
Keep digging bro.
You're embarrassing yourself.

---

Yeah, I can picture an over the hill wanna-be surfer bragging about his porsche and his craft beers using "bro". Of course, I am the one digging.

Cool story? Don't you realize how old you are?

---

Oh, so now I'm a wanna-be surfer now?

Are you sure that you also dont post under the name BearGoggles too?

He claimed that I was a Cal Aquatics Recruiting Insider.

Hahahahahahahahahaaaaa!

---

Yeah, we all use "cool story" and "bro" at our age.

Now, your retort is that I am BearGoggle?

OK, bro. Cool story.

---

You're clearly wound real tight.

You dont sound like you have much of a sense of humor.
Bet you arent very fun at dinner parties.

It never does take long

Yup.
That must be one helluva white shoe "bubble" that he walks around in.
Who knew?

Well, since you still havent gotten around to admitting how RIDICULOUS the statement that you made was, I dont think any of us are really holding our breath for you to walk it back.

At this point, you might as well make it your signature.

"Anyone who was employed during the last ten years and did not accumulate at least a few million in wealth needed some basic financial education."

calbear93 said:

No one is impressed.

---

You just cant stop digging can you.

Are you really this "thin-skinned" ?

Gonna go all DEFCON 4 for the next several hours here because you made a fool out of yourself with the most absurd comment ever in the history of Bearinsider?

"Anyone who was employed during the last ten years and did not accumulate at least a few million in wealth needed some basic financial education."

calbear93 said:

---

Unlike you, I am not trying to impress. In fact, I write things knowing it will piss people off because what I write is what I really believe. You, on the other hand, are like weird marriage of the gossipy old lady and the creepy old guy talking like a surfer and bragging about cars and name dropping.

---

I've shared personal experiences here with people I've met along the way in life.
You and the likes of BearGoggles seem to get very insecure when I've done that.

It's FUNNY.

How deluded do you have to be and how socially inept must you be to think that I am insecure about you name dropping some crazy MAGA reporter or some trader "legend" no here cares about.

You are a fool

---

To post the following . . .

"Anyone who was employed during the last ten years and did not accumulate at least a few million in wealth needed some basic financial education."

---

Tiresome old man thinking posting the same thing is not a waste of calories. But you must be like the people you complain about...have nothing better to do.

I know most people are not fiscally responsible. They spent above their means and they missed out on one of the greatest wealth creation period in history.

I think you need to walk this statement back.

---

This might just be the most outrageous post in the history of Bearinsider.
Talk about living in a Ivory Tower.

---

Have you seen your signature? I have a hard time believing that the person who flaunts his wealth the most is the person writing this. Self-awareness is not clearly a strong attribute among those on OT

---

Youre hysterical.
I dont flaunt anything here except for the Beer that I drink.
No photos of lifestyle, cars, homes, vacations, dining, etc.

But go right ahead and deflect from making one of the most IVORY TOWER posts ever on Bearinsider.
Go right ahead.
I can take it.

Talk about self-awareness.
Oh the irony.

"Anyone who was employed during the last ten years and did not accumulate at least a few million in wealth needed some basic financial education."

---

that's a bold statement. Let's peel back the onion. The average US household earns $70,000/yr and has expenses of $67,000. If this "anyone" you speak of invested that extra $3000 each year for the last 10 years, even if the investments were solid; wouldn't even have $100K. where'd you get the $1Mill? could it be that you pulled it out of your ass?

---

clearly it was not a well calculated number but something I just threw out. Honestly, as I mentioned, it was a bit misguided in thinking a few million would not be controversial. But I would be curious to understand what someone maxing out their 401(k) with company match since 2008 would have now assuming investing in just S&P 500 index. It would be a lot more than $100K but admittedly much less than $2m. And if you are spending $67K while earning $70K, that is no way of building wealth. Before I retired, I had never saved less than 20% no matter how little I made.

Just a bit misguided?

lol

For clarity.
You are aware that Calbears93 is the author of that statement that I bolded, right?

---

Just in case your reputation here may be tainted. What a fool.

"Anyone who was employed during the last ten years and did not accumulate at least a few million in wealth needed some basic financial education."

You'd think that anyone making this statement would be able to support Bearinsider with a subscription and afford $11.50 per month, but I guess I'd be a bit misguided by that.

OK, why so I can interact more with someone like you and because I spend so much time here? Look at you bragging about your recent insider subscription. Did someone point that out to you?

Because i don't want to. As I recall, it wasn't that long ago when you did not subscribe here. Besides, someone who lives here like you do should subscribe. This is how you spend your whole day. But I suspect that someone mocked you for not being a subscriber and you promptly subscribed like a dog.

that's why the vast majority of people in this country have no opportunity to build wealth. I'd imagine most who spend time on this board are doing just fine. Most others are not. I'm an entrepreneur. I've had years where I put tons into investments and years where I put nothing/lost money.

fair enough. i made a lot of money independent of investment from my law practice and being in-house, but most of my wealth came from investment. different journey, and I guess a bit presumptuous on my part. wasn't a real number but a statement I made as part of a post i was typing on my phone while eating snacks. not really well thought out - which is a trait shared with most posts here.

Back to DeSantis: Yes, he is probably smart and he might be competent, I don't know. But the way he's constantly playing the "culture wars" card, he comes off to me as mean and calculating. Sure, being calculating is part of politics, but I'd like to see a lot more "competent" and less bs. Show me your vision for all Americans, beyond "Florida is where woke goes to die!" Hard no on DeSantis. What a phony. I would prefer Gavin Newsom in a heartbeat.

You don't think Gavin Newsom is phony? You don't think he says things to play to his base?

Right.

The guy that claims that it's been so easy to make MILLIONS over the last 10 years (oh wait.... you're now going back to 2008) doesnt want to help support Bearinsider to the tune of $11.50 a month.

Like I said earlier, you seem like your wound pretty tight.

Keep digging.

You said a lot of stupid things. No need to keep repeating it. You do with your name dropping of people no one cares about, If you are going to repeat things, just put it in your signature. By the way. about the signature thing. What a stupid thing to do (especially about a car) on a message board with strangers.

Trust me. You only subscribed recently because someone mocked you when you were in your bragging mode. So just STFU. I am not as impressionable as you.
