I had to laugh that this bank wanted to talk to Paul about personal finances;
TenHaken sat down with Adam Cox, host of the financial education podcast from First National Wealth Management, for a candid conversation about personal finances.
We know Poops has done well personally running a successful web development company, he also got a million over appraisal on his DTSF building. But when it comes to city finances, he has been a total disaster;
• $4 million dollar ice ribbon turns in a $16 million dollar entertainment complex
• $26 million dollar Bunkeramp that sits empty
• $20 million dollar 6th street bridge ($10 million over budget)
• $80 million in reserves while we are bonding for swimming pools
• A back door effort to raise taxes $450 Million on SF citizens for a CC no one wants, or needs
Not sure how poops handles his Burger King coupons but when it comes to city finances he would be the LAST person I would take advice from. Maybe we can build the new convention center out of recycled cardboard?
“…..’Maybe we can build the new convention center out of recycled cardboard?’……”
“Say, that might be a good idea because once they kick out or fence out the homeless around there, then there’ll probably be a lot of loose cardboard just lying around there, huh?'”….
“Oh, and what about some Jumping Jacks to get the dopamine flowing, which should help you to save your money for a rainy day, right?”….. “Did the Mayor talk about that one?”….
Maybe our Mayor plans to compete against Dave Ramsey with his own personal finance radio show and or podcast after he leaves City Hall.
But does the Mayor hate Social Security like Ramsey does, who claims you can do better with your savings returns if you just kept the SS money in a savings account or conservative investment until you are age 67? A course, Ramsey assumes that most have the self-discipline to save and invest, which, if that was true, then his PF show would have never taken off nor have been needed to begin with. Part of the reason that SS exists is that most people do not save nor have the self-discipline for it, and because of that reality, Ramsey has been a personal financial success and “potential” financial advisor.
Also, Ramsey hates credit cards, but everyone should have “ONE” to garner points if they have the self-discipline and capability to pay off their balance each month, that is. But for some reason, Ramsey doesn’t think his listeners have that self-discipline, but he thinks they would have that same self-discipline to adequately save for retirement in the absence of any Social Security system, however (?)…. #GoFigure
( and Woodstock adds: “But be careful VSG, some people around here think that Ramsey is like a god…. Maybe the next Pope….. ( ….. “But is he Catholic?”…… ))
What sounds better? Dave TenHaken, or Paul Ramsey? AND, what’s worse? Being taken or having something rammed down your throat? Or, to illustrate it better, the former is like the Bunker Ramp, while the latter is like the Whistleline District, I mean the Riverline District. #VillageOnTheRiver #ILiveInAVan #DownByTheRiver #DaveOrPaulCanYouHelpMe?
