Curious: How do you put these narratives together? Is it as read, a stream of consciousness smashing into our own existence as in real-time thoughts, or do they take much longer, are carefully scripted through excruciating research?
It certainly reads as the former, but then, when paragraph one alone contains one after another profound statement... well, either way, it is genius.
It felt like you were reading a few pages from my life in the Material Wealth explanation. I have a lot of ideas on how to build vehicles that passively create wealth but to build that foundation takes a lot of time and education. Sometimes it's a struggle to keep going.
That’s my philosophy. I’m a Global Citizen traveling the world visiting each of the 193 United Nations Member States one month at a time.
I live to make memories for myself and others. The opportunity to visit other countries and experience customs, cultures and cuisines is priceless. I get to give back by purchasing locally, volunteering, donating and giving of myself to those in need.
I’m fortunate to have been raise by parents who taught me the value of money and an entrepreneurial mother who taught me to control my income.

I think this is the first time I disagree with you Tim.
If we're destitute, it could be someone else's fault. Actually: malicious intent is more like it.
As a Targeted Individual that had state and federal agencies and officials collude with the atrocious Targeted Individual program, my income, my reputation, my friends, my family were taken away from me.
I had my income property. I was successful in my profession. When I sought to make the leap into investigative writing, the perpetrators of this heinous program made it clear they would do everything to prevent me from earning a respectable a living again.
The only thing they were unable to steal was my dignity, my intelligence, my experience, the precious education my parents gave me and the values they instilled in me.
Thanks to my parent's legacy, and to the generosity of a few people that courageously rescued me, last week I was able to file on behalf of Targeted Justice a lawsuit seeking an end to the evil Targeted Individual program. A torture scheme that currently destroys the lives of around 300,000 US residents and millions across the globe.
Did you just write that people with mental health problems aren’t being responsible adults? And that if they haven’t managed to get over it then they’re destined to an unhappy existence of their own making?
Thanks for the breakdown! I have found most of my fear is when I switch to a material wealth paradigm instead of staying in the mental wealth category! I was just thinking about this actually.
You are absolutely right, Tim. Creating memories with youngsters is the best. I regret not having had the resources to enjoy my daughter. All I did was work, but she was with me on my night job. Some memory . . . She then went to live with her deadbeat father in another state and our time was over. Your article is awesome . . . I wish I’d had my priorities in much better order then.
The ideal life and mindset. Love it. Succinct and beautifully written. Thanks, Tim.
I think anyone whose ever read Holocaust survivor Dr. Edith Eger’s book “The Choice” would agree with you about the victim mindset. Dr Eger was literally found in a pile of bodies with a broken back when her camp was liberated.
She said her trauma was a “well to draw” from as she helped counsel people. Her best selling book is all about making the choice to respond in a healthy way to any situation. Recapture your power from the Hitlers in your life.
Sure, she didn’t have a choice when the Nazis forced her to dance or killed her mom or doomed her to the death march that killed so many Jews and broke her back. But she did choose how she responded.
This is our power. And when we give it away to victimhood thinking, we imprison ourselves and forfeit our creativity and money-making potential.
It’s not that inflation and job less and disability aren’t hard. Or that someone cheated and we lost our life savings. It’s how we view ourselves and our ability to bounce back. Are we victims or victors?
We choose the ending to our own story. It’s only those with a victim mindset whose story ends in a pile of bodies. It’s the victors who rise up. Learn. Earn. And buy back their time.

This is awesome, I love it! I'm saving this one. Thank you.
Very encouraging, enriching sense of money. A bit of both material and aesthetic in one article. Bravo.
Great post Tim 🫡

Nice article Tim.
Your material wealth trilogy made me think of how aristocratic wealth stereotypically presents in the UK.
14th century castle + half of Devon -> knackered old 1990s Golf -> teeny tiny B&W TV with 4 channels
A big telly used to be synonymous with poor taste and questionable priorities. That was when "big" meant over 20".
That’s my philosophy. I’m a Global Citizen traveling the world visiting each of the 193 United Nations Member States one month at a time.

Life is a great adventure
Enjoy the ride.

It's the most important lawsuit in recent history.
