I think I read that it's a myth that kids make you happier and that people with kids just say that to validate their own mistake through mob behavior or whatever. Anyway, it made a lot of sense.

raising a family and leaving a legacy will make you much more wealthy than a beefed up 401k.

Friedman's wife would like to remind you when you do buy things, make sure it's from a store leasing from one of her families shopping malls.



Shopping malls are playgrounds for America's ugly.

That's also about the same time the world's population started increasing exponentially. Again,
