And the vision of surprising my parents with a yoga retreat or an overseas venture definitely keeps me going!

Wake, make bed, brush teeth, light yoga/meditation. 

If you are thinking future appreciation, these parks are even hosting morning yoga events.  

If this were true, I as an investor could go buy up a few blocks of post-industrial wasteland in any one of a hundred failing cities around the country, throw in a coffee shop and a yoga studio and some concrete counters, and just start raking in the dough while simultaneously destroying the lives of the locals.

Or "lifestyle" businesses (i.e. a yoga studio if you are a yoga instructor). 

Maybe you want to start a business, get an MBA, become a yoga teacher, etc.

because lord forbid ya go a week without the $300mnth Goat Yoga membership, or the daily $10 non-fat triple soy late caramel twist double shot stirred not shaken starbucks....

And I’ll do the same yoga routine to remove idiots who cause me a pain in the rear. 

I am sorry that facts hurt you're ever so fragile feelings and pierce that paper thin skin.Hey, maybe after your morning tofu and goat-yoga ya can hug it out in the afternoon feelings circle about the big bad meanie with math's and all will be well. 

But I enjoy reading (about how to be successful in real estate and self improvement books), working out, yoga, I'm an avid cook, I volunteer at a horse farm (planning on getting back into riding and competing in the relatively near future), getting into autocross, and getting into poker.
