How things have changed

My ISP dropped data caps almost 3 years ago. A couple of months back we got an email notifying us they were replacing their cable with fiber and just last week I saw the crew up on the road about a mile from me so they are in fact already working on it. Onward and upward.

So, it will be about 6 months before they will be active in your area.
As a General rule.

While leaving the grocery store today, I passed the Math Tax machine and was shocked. Mega now costs $5? Wasn't it $2? Who pays that?

I heard that it was going up few months ago.....Dont see myself ever buying one at that price.

The people who run the games know that people want to play for larger jackpots. Mega used to be $1 while PowerBall was $2. Then Mega went to $2, and now $5. The bigger the jackpot, the more people play because people don't make smart decisions.

Stupid people.

There is only one way to make money, invest, every month, keep putting money in a investment account, roughly $300-500 a month, do that for 30 years.

While there is no guarantees, better than the damn lottery.

Sadly, from my experience, this is rarely followed

Suckers that think they are going to win.

Stupid Tax is what we call it. The poorest people seem to pay that tax over and over down here in Texas.

When we got our cable internet installed about two years ago and ditched Verizon DSL ( ) the cable company tech said they would be upgrading to fiber here as well in the future. Soon please!

Right along with going to the Casino ...

If I have Money I want to Give Away, I can find much better ways to do it.

Earlier this year we vacationed with relatives who loved going to floating casinos- err, "Cruise Ships."
