It seems as if they want answers handed to them on a spoon.

They don’t keep commemorative plates and collectible spoons, but they keep clothes, kayaks, bikes, Christmas decorations, old computers, instruments, tools, etc. 

It was terrible. 6 forks, 3 spoons.

I get the fear and panic of those who didn't experience the 80's, who think it's some distant place in a time long, long ago, because for most part you had a silver spoon firmly planted in your behind your whole life.

Where I live in NY houses go for 600k  plus...unless you are a celebrity or born with a silver spoon or are wiling to work for 60 yers before becoming a home owner... you'll never own a house.Getting creative and using Other Peoples Money is not bad, its sophisticated and 100% valuable.

From my silver-plated spoon childhood (rich friends) it seemed that the totally passive concept was bearer bonds. 

There is no spoon." 

Not people who were born with a silver spoon either.

Spoon-feeding newbies and giving them a participation badge won't help them at all!

Many have gone like the wind, new ones pop up and will also disappear with the next breeze.Selling crap properties, in crap areas for more than they are worth and then passing on to 3rd party PM that nickel and dimes to death.It's a shame but it's been the same cycle since I started in 2012 and even longer that I remember.I feel sorry for such investors that commit so these providers but I feel even sorrier for those that try DIY BRRR from out of state.Asset classes are variable and "Potato" "Potato" lolFor example, I can almost but guarantee that my B class in Toledo for $90,000 for example is D class in Cinci.Lived in Middletown and owned a few rentals in Cinci so know the market decently.It also comes down to how someone was born and bread.I had investors come from Cali and laugh at me and my "B class" properties.They said it's Z class.Even tho my entire team lives in the area and so did I for 10+ years.No silver spoon in my mouth growing up and I wouldn't sacrifice my families safety in a so called "Z class" area.But we are all different, right?
