7. Weeeee, I can't wait for the next bubble to pop!

"You're not going to be able to retire unless you invest."

How much did you lose in the Nasdaq bubble, the real estate bubble and the 2008 collapse? Nothing I'm sure, you're way too smart for that huh? LOL!

Over 70% of Americans retire with less than 30G saved/invested, do you spew your investment crap at them too? If only they'd all invest that huge amount of money they have to invest, which totals about ZERO DOLLARS, they'd all be rich huh?
