    -Happiness is like a cat. It will never come when you call it. The only way to get it to come is to make your lap an inviting place. (I don't like cats, but I grew up with them, so I know how true the cat part of this statement is.)
    -Financial independence is NOT the end goal. Financial independence is just an enabler for the end goals. (This isn't super profound, but it hit me harder his time. I'd heard it before but maybe I just needed to hear it again. I need to do a better job of staying focused on the REAL goals.)

    I'd be curious to hear Todd's thoughts on "anything but passive" investing right now... The show was recorded in November, before the recent drop and stagnation and he was talking about how aggressively everyone should invest. Irony, bad timing, or just a market change that wasn't particularly noteworthy?

    And, a few more books to put into my Amazon cart... Which now has 47 books in it on a variety of topics that I cannot afford to buy right now, and don't have time to read anyway.

    FUUUUUUUUUUKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

    The wind sucks today. Had a claim cancel due to snow as well!

    The above "FUK" was an auto correct from my phone. Apparently that is popular enough to be in the Android dictionary. I laughed.

    Nice. My phone always autocorrects Mrs. HB's name to all caps and I can't figure out why. It's quite annoying.

    Who's going to Pismo Beach today?? Not me. I'm going to Avila Beach, which is only 5 min further away and much nicer.

    Nope. I must have accidentally "accepted" the autocorrect suggestion once, and now it always does it.

    Most phones have a way you can edit the autocorrect function.
