  1. My expertise was computer programming technical analysis, I passed up a number of job opportunities before and after I retired because I didn’t desperately need the money. I’d rather watch the bees pollinate the flowers in my garden.

  3. Nothing like accidentally leaving out key elements that make your job function.

  4. I’m a retired millionaire, grew up in poverty and just can’t get myself to waste money on things like flying first class. Luckily, I’m letting go for anything under $100, leaving tips, giving money to poor and spending on my niece.

  5. Nobody making $300,000 a year would waste their life accumulating money to leave to a relative or the state.

  6. Interlocking directorships protect the executives. This lack of best qualified and overpaid executives regularly drives major corporations into bankruptcy. Just look up all the retailers, airlines and other corporations that have gone out of business in the last 50 years.

  7. Sometimes idiots and narcissists get promoted, then their kind spread like a cancer in management and ruin the company.

  8. Board members and CEO positions are all serving each other (interlocking directorships) that’s why they’re all overpaid.

  9. Wealthy families have family members like everyone else. The stupid, over trusting, lazy, drug addicts and those that live to spend wind up losing everything. The financially astute, ambitious, hard working and talented wind up doing well and possibly do better than what they started with.

  10.  Rich Foley  GE and other American firms mistreating employees are paying the price, in part by promoting mostly self-serving narcissists who eventually run firms into the ground. The corporations that continue these crazy practices are losing ground in the world. The smartest, most capable and most driven younger people are simply saying “No, I’m not putting up with this”. Companies like Google, Facebook, etc. know if they don’t treat their staff right, their best people leave. Sure they drive their people especially in a crunch time, but rewards normally follow.

  11. I used to look busy at work by learning, working on my investing and hobbies. The time to work on investing helped me retire at 58.

  12. Someone who knows what they’re doing and is in trades in his own business can easily make six figures in the U.S. including painters.

  13. Government regulations do have their role like keeping markets more open and more honest, and reduce theft. Nothing is perfect.

  16. Top 20% is good enough. I worked and worked and worked my way up from poverty. I didn’t have kids so my dear niece has been and will continue to be given a hand up, lucky young lady.

  17. Biden-Harris opened the border to keep low paid jobs low paid.

  21. Some members of wealthy families continue with wealth, most do not unless they marry new money like Maria Shriver marrying new money Arnold Schwarzenner.

  22.  @aleksanderwertynski9870  Seems like security in IT is not part of a masters degree in business, even though lack of IT security has cost businesses hundreds of billions of dollars in intellectual property theft.
