@@@@@I slept in a small ball now; maybe it was @@@@@I slept in a small ball now; maybe it was the too-open spaces I moved in all day that had me constricting in on myself at night, or maybe I was just so used to curling up to sleep in the tiny space behind the passenger seat on the van's floor that I'd forgotten how to sleep straight But I knew why no one asked me to shareThe first night the men had unhappily realized the necessity of a hotel shower for me, I'd heard Ian and Jared talking about me over the whir of the bathroom fannot fair to ask her to choose,” Ian was sayingHe kept his voice low, but the fan was not loud enough to drown it outThe hotel room was very small “Why not? It's fairer totell her where she's going to sleep? Don't you think it's more polite –” “For someone elseBut Wanda will agonize over thisShe'll be trying so hard to please us both, she'll make herself miserable “Jealous again?” “Not this timeI just know how she thinks There was a silenceHedid know how I thoughtHe'd probably already foreseen that given the slightest hint that Jared would prefer it, I would choose to sleep beside Jared, and then keep myself awake worrying that I'd made Jared unhappy by being there and that I'd hurt Ian's feelings in the bargain “Fine,” Jared snapped“But if you try cuddling up to me tonight… so help me, O'Shea“Not to sound overly arrogant, but to be perfectly honest, Jared, were I so inclined, I think I could do better Despite feeling a little guilty about wasting so much needed space, I probably did sleep better alone We didn't have to go to a hotel againThe days started to pass more quickly, as if even the seconds were trying to run homeI could feel a strange western pull on my bodyWe were all eager to get back to our dark, crowded haven Even Jared got careless It was late, no sunlight left lingering behind the western mountainsBehind us, Ian and Kyle were taking turns driving the big moving truck loaded with our spoils, just as Jared and I took turns with the v | | Saturday, January 1st, 2011 | | 12:11 pm |

I cringe every time I hear someone say to @@@@@ I cringe every time I hear someone say to me that their net worth is a million dollars or $100,000 dollars or whatever One of the main reasons net worth is not accurate is simply because the moment you begin selling your assets, you are taxed for any gains So many people have put themselves in deep financial trouble when they run short of incomeTo raise cash, they sell their assetsFirst, their personal assets can generally be sold for only a fraction of the value that is listed in their personal balance sheetOr if there is a gain on the sale of the assets, they are taxed on the gainSo again, the government takes its share of the gain, thus reducing the amount available to help them out Of debtThat is why I say someone's net worth is often "worth less" than they think Start minding your own businessKeep your daytime job, but start buying real assets, not liabilities or personal effects that have no real value once you get them homeA new car loses nearly 25 percent of the price you pay for it the moment you drive it off the lotIt is not a true asset even if your banker lets you list it as one My $400 new titanium driver was worth S150 the moment I teed off For adults, keep your expenses low, reduce your liabilities and diligently build a base of solid assetsFor young people who have not yet left home, it is important for parents to teach them the difference between an asset and a liability Get them to start building a solid asset column before they leave home, get married, buy a house, have kids and get stuck in a risky financial position, clinging to a job and buying everything on credit I see so many young couples who get married and trap themselves into a lifestyle that will not let them get out of debt for most of their working years For most people, just as the last child leaves home, the parents realize they have not adequately prepared for retirement and they begin to scramble to put some money awayThen, their own parents become ill and they find themselves with new responsibilities So what kind of assets am I suggesting that you or your children acquire? In my world, real assets fall into several different categories: 1Businesses that do not require my presenceI own them, but they are managed or run by other people If I have to work there, it's not a businessIncome-generating real estateRoyalties from intellectual property such as music, scripts, patents | | 5:47 am |
