If I'm in any kind of trouble.....and am alone.....I'm looking for a cop or driving to the nearest police station.

If that's not possible, I look for the biggest, gnarliest biker guy I can find.....they will protect a chick and/or help. They are very nice that way.

People who think like him make cops' lives easier. That's a win in my book.

Unfortunately too many people who hate the police have them on speed dial anyway.

When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

Get as much education as you can while you are young.

Picking a good spouse right off the bat is the best decision you will ever make.

Consider a career where you can work for yourself so that you derive the profit from your work and labor.

Buying a home makes more sense because you get no equity when you rent.

Don't live your life trying to please your relatives.

1) Live below your means


2) Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it; he who doesn't, pays it.

This lesson has stuck with with me since hearing it in high school: believe half of what you see and none of what you hear. It’s good to remember I may not be seeing the whole picture and to be skeptical of anything I hear (and read) until I can verify from different sources.

Always be moving forward. Yesterday is just that! Today will soon be a yesterday. Enjoy it and be prepared to move on. Now tomorrow, that is our chance for a even better today!
