What was that about inflation?
1=1 to the USD gentlemen is a first time in the history of the Euro.
Was anyone putting off buying some Italian parts? hahahaa
Now's a splendid good time to use you greenbacks.

Shopping as we speak. Got my Tommy Bahama Beach chair set up and I’m ready to enjoy some economic collapse and civil unrest. Folks who paid attention to that wonderful board game called monopoly as a kid are planning a nice tropical vacation, those who didn’t are packing and soon to be dodging an eviction notice and an auto repossession. Choices my friends, choices.
 
Negative tower, have a nice place on the Kohala Coast on the big island. Swap the bike for the Seadoo, done. Now there is an active volcano over the hill, but it gives it that prehistoric perspective and I’m sure everyone here can agree that I’m a bit of a caveman so it works

One of my favorite spots on Earth. My dad has a place in Mauna Kea. I prefer the more local thing, Hawì is such a cool, spot. Too hot, go left a mile and find a rain forest. Want sun, go right a mile. Diving right off the beach northwest coast there is pretty good too. I love that whole island.

Grew up in Honolulu, that place went nuts and Maui was gaining. When it came time to return and get a place, we just flew to Kona and started driving. Waimea was too far inland and Kona proper was a bit riff raff. Wife wanted to get a condo by the resorts but we ended up finding a great place in Kohala Ranch just elevated enough to keep the heat down. Kona isn’t far, they have a Costco and my favorite restaurant Huggos.

Hawi is great. It for the most part survived Covid. There is a little Airport (Upolu) right on the water outside of Hawi. Great skydiving and we fly ultralights out of there. Welcome anytime my friend. Great place

The great reset apparently! Not sure it's going to be All that great for a lot of people. And i think it is coming faster than expected
 
Well and why is that? I didn’t know any better and put my hand on a hot stove. Once. How many repetitive glaring examples do people need before they cease to do what hasn’t yielded the results they wanted in life. None of this is new, with some planning and the willingness to get off their ... and make some changes, the ones that end up in the not so fortunate category would have faired a lot better.

Entertainment, is probably the most destructive. Do you really have your .... tight enough that you can devote time to mindless entertainment? For most of this country, the answer is a definitive, no. If your not where you want to be financially and you’re spending time and money on entertainment, then I’m sorry, but you just don’t care to make changes. We have a house full of TVs, I’m pretty sure I don’t know how to turn them on. Every spare moment is spent learning something that I can apply to further my interest, on physical fitness or helping others who show the initiative but just need a push. Other than that, I’m sleeping, eating or banging the wife.

I love interviewing people who have figured things out. I’m a sponge for exemplary individual who never had an envelope in the first place. I don’t know everyone here but there are a few real ... kickers right here on this forum. People who are offended at the notion of a person with a title telling them what to do, people who do what they want, when they want without boundaries. They all got their by doing the same thing, not accepting what was given, and working smart to achieve what they wanted. Not too late to make some changes but you’re going to have to give up some worthless luxuries and get to work.

One hundred percent correct! I worked my ... off when i was younger so i could race motorcycles then did the same to start my business made huge sacrifices to build up my business while people around me sat on their arse complaining about everything while trying to fulfill their dull pointless lives by buying .... They cant afford on credit. This is what happened in Austria after ww1 currency collapsed and those that were prepared were the big winners (mainly other countries) I don't wish this on anyone regardless of their stupidity but i also don't have any sympathy either.
