Lucy Van Pelt: "Before we begin, I request that you pay in advance. Five cents, please. [Charlie Brown drops in a nickel] Boy, what a sound! How I love the sound of clinking money! That beautiful sound of cold hard cash! Nickels, nickels, nickels!" FCF and lower bad debt lesson.
Lucy Van Pelt: "I always get a lot of stupid toys or a bicycle or clothes or something like that."
Charlie Brown: What is it you want? Lucy: Real estate. What are your real estate holdings? Do you have a diversified portfolio?”
Charlie Brown was really confused. “Huh?”
Taj: "It turns out Dad and Charlie Brown are financial geniuses!"

Father: "All we did was embark on a periodic investment in a no-load mutual fund."

"According to the survey results, the median pay for full-time writers was $20,300 in 2017, and that number decreased to $6,080 when part-time writers were considered. The latter figure reflects a 42 percent drop since 2009, when the median was $10,500."
In my blog post on writing books I wrote: "6. Don’t expect to earn more than the minimum wage and be thrilled if you earn more." google.com/amp/s/25iq.com…
"In Mémoires (1759), Voltaire recalled how in his youth he had come across so many writers who were “penniless and held in contempt” that “he had decided not to add to their number.” laphamsquarterly.org/luck/voltaires… "Thanks to his fortune he was free to pursue his writerly life."

"Companies can lose a lot of money in their early years but be wonderful businesses if they are acquiring customers with long lives and strong variable margins."

But some businesses just do the losing money part. A critical skill is knowing the difference between the two types.
Customer-based corporate valuation (CBCV) = valuing a business on a "bottoms up" basis by valuing the customers. In a subscription business especially, this is an essential process if you want to understand if real value is being created despite a lack of current GAAP earnings.
"CBCV isn’t about being profitable from day one. It’s about variable profitability in net present value terms (while still being mindful of fixed cost overhead of course!)" Determining whether a specific business is a delicious cheesecake or a turd requires detective work.

“The Fasten Seat Belt sign is now illuminated. If you haven’t already done so, please check your cash and cash equivalent balances. Please lower your burn rate and make sure your defensive investments are in their full upright position.”
“If you find yourself needing an emergency exit from illiquid investments, please read carefully the special instructions card. Cash is more king than ever. If you can’t handle the haircut you are about to experience, please ask someone to do the selling to raise cash for you.”

Pay attention, I’m gonna drop some simple, simple tips to help you elevate your cooking game.

A thread.
You see this shit? It’s freaking awesome.

Take a handful of mushrooms at a time, use a food processor to powderize them, and substitute for salt.

Restaurants use a porchini/pepper mix to season their steak. It’s a flavor blast.

Or make your own spice mix to use on-hand.
My personal mix is porchini, pepper, paprika, red pepper flakes, sugar, and a touch of numbing pepper.

Last appearance: 17 April 1995 (by then, a rare appearance)

Last appearance: Disputed. Either 15 June 1969, or 9 November 1975 (either way, he'd all but been forgotten)

 Far too much energy has been depleted in condemning how the rich and the famous spend their #money (legally inherited and/or legally earned) on weddings. In one straight piece @monikahalan makes mincemeat out of them – and forces an introspection livemint.com/Money/Tzr7GQyG…
2/n
 How many of those calling such high-decibel weddings “vulgar” opt for a simple registered wedding for their children, asks @monikahalan – scathing observation on #money!
3/n
 Rather than condemning those who spend their earned/inherited #money, we need to look at how taxpayers’ money is spent on the personal upkeep of ‘public servants’ in acres-large bungalows in prime locations, argues @monikahalan
[We don’t because so few of us pay income tax.]

Beautiful
(A microburst Twitter essay--to be finished before I'm done with my cough drop)

I just had an epiphany: #beautiful has become my new favorite word. That may seem strange given my circumstances. In June 2017 I was diagnosed with incurable stage IV #lungcancer.
I naively thought that maybe my lifetime of being a health and fitness junkie would insulate me from such a medical fate. Wrong. And So here I am, fifty-one years old and not sure how much time I have left on earth. I know I could, or maybe should, feel angry, cheated, jaded.
But I don't. I have this epiphany that my new favorite word is beautiful and I'm not sure why. There is nothing beautiful about what I've gone through since my diagnosis--lots of physical and emotional distress to be sure. But yet, I keep find

Boy do I have a great love story to tell you. It's about a girl who loves a boy who loves... data???   What do I mean by that? You'll see in a moment. Let me introduce you to our love birds. 

Meet Molly,
she is a native Californian who loves yoga and dogs.
2./ Molly likes to donate to worthy causes like ASPCA and the Humane Society. Here is a great picture of her with her pooch, cute little guy.
3./ Molly was busy learning about the world after getting her degree in Poli Sci. But her ultimate goal was to "leave things better than you find them". As you can see here.
