On Setting a Lifetime Goal - Part 1
Today is the day. Today I am setting a goal that at some point in my life my family will have a net worth (measured in dollars) that exceeds the number of minutes I have then been alive.
For those of you keeping track at home, here's the comparison from March 31, 2005 (the last time I prepared our family balance sheet):
- Minutes alive = 17,278,560.
- Net worth = more than zero, thankfully.
And I did some math just now (with the help of my trusty Hewlett-Packard 12C financial calculator). If I hope to achieve this goal by my 50th birthday (May 25, 2022), I've got to compound our family's net worth by about 35% per annum. No mean trick. Looks like I've got some Warren Buffet-style wood to chop to get there by then. More reasonably, it appears that if I hope to achieve this goal by my 75th birthday, I've got to compound our family's net worth by only about 14% per annum. That sounds considerably more attainable but would still be pretty darn good.
By then I'll have been alive (God willing.) almost 40 million minutes.
That's a lot of donuts.

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.
Any attempt to cheat, especially with my wife, who is a dirty, dirty, tramp, and I am just gonna snap.
I just want to thank y'all for these constructive comments.
I need to set out a tip jar here on the blog so people can help me get there!
You know you are going to just spend it on waffle cones.
Now THAT is funny.
I love lamp
whoo you're a quick one!
