Check Your Time

 A journal of a man who made a foray into the financial markets in hopes of making some money.  The main goal being to not lose any money.  If in ten years I can cash out for at least the same amount as I have put in, then I will consider it a success.  

It's a game.  It's the stock market and crypto game.  Coming up the ranks in this game took me a long time.  I lost any desire to take any financial risk during my last great business failure.  And I worked the Dave Ramsey baby step all the way to baby step seven.  Build wealth and give.  Now Dave's idea of building wealth is like watching paint dry.  And it works.  And I will continue to invest 15% into my 401k until the game is over.  But I am also blessed, thanks to Dave Ramsey's advice, with having extra income due to not having any debt.  It is only this extra income that somebody else might use to buy new shoes or new clothes or a new car, I will invest into the financial markets.  In that respect I can't lose because I'd rather gain a little bit of experience in the market than have a new pair of shoes.

Success!  My first 100 dollars is in my coinbase account and ready to trade.  Bought 10 dollars.  .00017162 bitcoin.

The Life Preparatory School for Boys

King Randall, I. may read this.  And I guess I must say that King Randall, I. is the reason that I am writing this first post on this new blog that I haven't written on in some time. The thought of a small, local, grassroots, real, true, school of opportunity for underprivileged kids.  Or as he calls it, a life preparatory school for boys.  Certainly the concept goes back as far as man himself, all the way back to Adam and Noah and Abraham and Isaac and Jacob and all of the twelve tribes.  Solidifying in the new country of America in the early 1700's on through the Revolutionary War and the Civil War and World War I and World War II and Korea and Viet Nam and Iraq and now on to the Twitter War of Twenty Three. All gave some.  Some gave all. They say General Lee was a brilliant defensive mind and that's what won him the war.  Well the story goes that it was a bunch of white people in the south that liked to keep black people as slaves, against a bunch of white people in the

The Global Village

I would say step one would be to find a place to host all of my computer operations and then move towards a one hundred percent online business.  The most critical aspect being file backup as your files basically now are your money and your money is what you want to pass on to your heirs.  If you have been a good steward of your money, you will have some money to pass on to your heirs. Now how much money you pass on probably really doesn't matter.  That's why I like Dave Ramsey.  He gets down on the level of the average person. He talks to people who have lots of credit card debt and very little income.  Those are the salt of the earth people and the backbone of this country.  And actually the backbone of this entire world.  Good folks who want to make an honest living.  Good law abiding folks who don't mind putting in a good solid forty hour work week for a reasonable living wage.  And the better the wage for working the better for the country and subsequently the better f

The Last Will and Testament of Doug Kenline

Kind of morbid but feels good to think I'm getting my affairs in order so I can go fishing and not have to worry about anything.  Will see if I only get one profile picture and that one picture gets suck on every blog I have under this userid and password. Day 2 (thelastwillandtestamentofdougkenline.blogspot.com)
