Golden Nuggets

 

  •     “There is no cheaper house than the house you buy today.” 
  •     “With every moment of indecision, the cash sitting in your bank account is depreciating as inflation rises. The only way to meet or beat inflation is to put your cash in an asset that will grow and out beat inflation.”
  •     “If you do something that makes you happy, you will never work a day in your life.”
