Asset appreciation as in stocks as in paper gains? some stock paper gains(foreign and domestic), some real estate, some in cash, some in a business, some in art, nothing in gold Top line is where it's at even if you don't bring a dime down. Half the major corporations do exactly that. They live off the credit worthiness implied by the persistence of the top line. I guess I do that with my business, don't think it is appropriate in my personal finances. You're a fool. You should have tried to raise your rates. You have to do this to explore where it will hold because in the future you may have to do this, so you had better get that knowledge now since your competitors have it. You are right I should explore it. I'm a little too nice to run a business sometimes, I think that its important that my clients are successful and make money. This is why they have stayed with me for twenty years and why I turn down more business than I do. But, I should maximize the profit so that when I sell the business in a few years I can get the full value. Those who spend more than they make are rewarded because there is no consequence for their actions. I disagree here. The consequence is an unmanageable and unforfilling life. How many people try to make up for a life with no time by filling it up with stuff, only to have that "stuff" insure that they have no time?
