    If I get up at 4am, I’m going to bed at 8pm. So I’m not saving any time, I’m stealing time from my evening to work in the morning. That’s what it ultimately comes down to…stealing personal time to spend on working…

    “Multifamily syndicator” seems like a euphemism for paying child support and alimony.

    Though the reality is its when a group of investors become a landlord for a duplex. And with “$50 million in assets raised” it appears this guy convinced people to invest in a row of L.A. duplexes.

    What a champ. A real market maker.

        Don’t forget this step:

        write a book on how the poor can get rich like you (by selling your book to other suckers)

      Reminds me of that song, “Cats in the Cradle” by Harry Chapin. That’s sort of what the song is about.

      The dad never has time for his kid because he’s working all the time. But the kid wanted to be just like his dad.

      And so the kid, when he’s grown up, ends up never having time for his dad. He’s grown up to be just like his dad.

      This fucking dude in the picture fortunately has no responsibility beyond the investor money from other fucking idiots who think the economy, the planet, all our well-being, is an elaborate casino game.

      I’ve lived this, I’m still recovering from nerve damage caused by some guy stepping out of a garden bed late at night in front of my tram wearing all black. Should’ve flattened the cunt, maybe folks will stop walking out when they read of the deaths in the news. It’s a huge issue here, and I’m glad I don’t drive trams any more, I make 70% of my previous earnings for 1% of the bullshit, and I work maximum 4 days/wk now.

      Edit: nerve damage caused due to shoulder sublux during panic emergency braking.
