A friend sent me an article that talks about Warren Buffett’s opinion on the lottery of birth. Based on the world’s current population, out of every 100 people, 5 will be born in the U.S., and only half of them will be above average intelligence!
With this information in mind, if you’re reading this article as a citizen of the U.S., you are already lucky in that you have all of the opportunities afforded to the citizens of this great land. Given this revelation, why would you waste any of the opportunities you have?? You should be out in the world, making your future better by learning to be frugal and save money for retirement. And, if you’ve been lucky enough to meet a significant other who shares your views and your luck in being born in the U.S., then you both owe it to yourselves to make the most of everything that comes your way.
This doesn’t mean that you should spread yourself too thin, or that you MUST take advantage of EVERY opportunity, but it does mean that ANY person, no matter their socioeconomic status, has the same ability to get ahead in the U.S., and feeling sorry for yourself or deciding that you can’t do something only hurts you in the long run.
It”s easy to have a negative and defeatist attitude. Don’t do easy…have a positive attitude and take advantage of the opportunities that come your way. That is how you become more powerful in your own life.

We DO NOT use the cell phones while on vacation, with the exception of the phone call made to family informing them of our safe arrival. We limit the tech because while on vacation, there are PLENTY of other things to do and we should focus on each other, not the world around us.
