I had always avoided reading the Dark Tower series since it didn’t seem like “real” fantasy to me. I mean, c’mon, it was written by a horror guy (Stephen King) not a fantasy guy. Nothing against Stephen King, and I had read his one fantasy novel earlier (The Eyes of...
Back in this article, I discussed the parameters I was personally using to determine a new place to live when I move out of the slowly collapsing US in or before 2025. That article also lists the countries and regions I was interested in and definitely not interested...
In order to do anything in your life, whether it's just surviving or accomplishing something of great value, you have only three resources available to you on a personal level. Outside of these three resources, you have literally nothing in terms of your own,...
There is a fundamental disconnect with most people on the difference between vacation time or taking a break vs. wasting time. Some people will delude themselves in that they’re “taking a break” or “taking a rest” from their work when they’re actually just wasting...
The Motley Fool is one of the best websites for beginners to learn the basics of investing. I’ve recommended that site many times to many people and will continue to do so. However, that doesn’t mean I agree with everything they say over there. Recently, they...
America, the USA, is a left-wing country, has been for a long time, still is, even after Trump, and will continue to move further left, no matter who you vote for or what protests you stage. This is not just young millennials. As you’re about to see, this is everyone...
All this talk about bitcoin lately has brought back up the concept of speculating vs. investing. My advice always remains the same: have two buckets. The biggest one is where you don’t speculate at all, but where you invest your money at very safe, very low rates of...
Just a few weeks ago, Bitcoin was around $900. Today it’s $2200. A few days ago it was as high as $2700. What the hell? It’s now hundreds of dollars past gold, which is still floating around $1250 as it usually does. I check the values of certain indexes and...
I talk a lot about moving out of your country and living abroad, both full time and part time. At the same time, I realize that perhaps 90% of my readership, if not more, is likely to never actually move out of their country. Moving out of your country, regardless of...
I recently wrote an article where I said that if you constantly keep trying to improve a certain area (or areas) of your life literally forever, it probably wouldn’t make you happy. One example I gave are men who make millions of dollars, yet still feel like they...
When someone starts their own business, they quickly (and unknowingly) morph themselves into one of three types of business owners. The type they choose makes a huge difference in their lives, businesses, and income. Here are the three types: 1. The Manager The...
Back in the 1990’s, there was a chunk of worthless swampland across the main river in Shanghai called Pudong. It looked like this: I’m visiting there now, and just a few days ago, I took a picture of it. It now looks like this: Not bad for a bunch of backwater...
On Election Day last November, I said, and I quote: Remember I said this to you, right-wingers: Trump will fuck you. He will fuck you just like George W. Bush fucked you. He’ll fuck you just like Obama fucked the progressives. The odds are overwhelming that Trump is...
There’s just one thing that will cost you more than anything else over the course of your lifetime. It will cost you more than your housing and rent, food, kids, debts, healthcare, food, cars, college or any other big expense you commonly think about. It’s taxes. You...
“I had achieved my goal, so I had to find a new mountain to climb.” ~Arnold Schwarzenegger Years ago, I read a book called Seven Years to Seven Figures. The book was mostly fluff about copywriters and guys who had happened to purchase real estate during the boom and...

Imagine you’re standing on one end of a very narrow valley, with sheer, unclimbable rocks to either side of you. You can’t turn back, and you can’t climb the rocks. You don’t even want to. Instead, you want to get to the other side of the valley. That’s your goal....
A week ago, the Federal Reserve, the corporatist entity that actually runs the US (and thus the world) economy, raised interest rates a little, going from .75 percent to 1 percent. Remember that the Fed set interest rates to zero back in 2008 to keep the US economy...
Years ago, I stated that I agree with those who predicted that at some point in the near future, technology will get to the point where there will, quite literally, be no such thing as privacy... at least not as we understand the term today. We’re not there yet, but...
Since I am no longer making new posts at the Sublime Your Time blog, I’m going to start posting more business, success, and time management articles here at the CJ Blog, in addition to the usual topics I already discuss here. I’m doing this for several reasons, the...
