Ever read Charles Mackay's Extraordinary Popular Delusions and the Madness of Crowds?

Written in the 1840s and discussed financial manias including the Dutch Tulip Mania. You can apply that same crowd psychology to how Coronavirus has been dealt with. And in the postmortem, future generations will call us fools for the way Coronavirus was handled.

What I learned from that book made me a lot of money. I mean, I'm not as wealthy as Bernard Baruch but that's ok. Great book.

Yes, some good stuff in it.
I stopped chasing money a while ago. We've made enough to be comfortable. Not overly wealthy, but we could both stop working tomorrow and live off of our savings for the rest of my wife and my lives with no hit to our standard of living.
The greatest thing that our savings has done for us is to decrease our stress levels. We don't worry about money issues and that bleeds over into other aspects of our lives.

BINGO

I was able to stop chasing (not that I ever really did ) money 4 or 5 years ago ... started bidding low time and dropped from that. Blessed.
