My friend Madea has "attitude" that comes with wisdom. Back in our teens and twenties, we thought we knew everything and made all those foolish mistakes. Then, when we got a little older, at thirty, we started getting these flashes of light, revelations of what a great and lucky thing it is that we didn't get caught doing those stupid things back then. Around forty, if we are lucky, we stop lying to ourselves. Fifty and above, we've run out of patience for foolishness. Take me to the bottom line. ↗

I am thinking of taking a fifth wife. Why not? Solomon had a thousand wives and he is a synonym for wisdom. ↗

I'm not a money manager, but I can tell you what the conventional wisdom is. The younger you are, the more risk you can take on. ↗
