My bad, i see you stuck on 3
No worries. Thanks!
Crazy. That’s heroic!
The great thing about being a trader is that anyone can be successful. There’s no profile. It takes discipline and patience. It doesnt matter: long hair, short hair, tattoos, no tattoos, good or poor diction.
You could have been fired from every single job you’ve ever had in your life, and you can still become a good trader. You can still have the life that you dream of.
There are very few endeavors that can offer that.

She’s still taking home a lot more money, even after taxes.
Ok. How about this: She tripled her gross income.

“Where you hidin’ that money?! I know you got more!!”
Be careful what you ask for. When people get scared, they ask for more security.
Folks forget what drug traffiking looks like. Granny is the perfect innocent drug mule.
Security is security. It’s uncomfortable. I get it. But TSA was being as polite as possible, as per the video.
If such security is intolerable, boss up and fly a private jet.
Or make moaning noises. Make them share the discomfort.
Another option:
“Smugglers will employ any and all forms of deception in an effort to blend in with legitimate traffic in an attempt to decrease suspicion that they are involved in illicit activity,” said El Paso Port Director Ray Provencio
I don’t mind paying taxes to help my country, but damn, Uncle Sam, whom I never met, wants his money off the top. ![]()
Lots of people wanna tax the rich…until they themselves become rich.
Yup. He’s gonna get his money. Sooner or later. The financial books I’ve read, they all say the same thing: Anything you try to hide will get found out. Just pay the tax you legally owe and move on.
