Dave Barry's Money Secrets (2006)
“The industrious ant worked hard all summer long, harvesting pieces of food dropped on the sidewalk in front of a Taco Bell. But the lazy grasshopper spent the summer frolicking and downloading Internet porn.
When fall came, the ant was snug in his anthill with a wad of rancid salsa the size of a volleyball. But the grasshopper had nothing to eat. He went to the ant’s nest and said, “I’m starving! Can I have some . . . YUCK! What’s that smell?”
“That’s my food supply!” said the ant, who was a ge...nerous ant, “and I will gladly share it with y . . .”
FWOOSH At that moment they were both burned alive, because the ant had built his nest in a playground frequented by inquisitive young boys with access to lighter fluid.
What financial lesson does this fable teach us? It teaches us that, in selecting real estate, the three most important factors are: location, location, location. But this chapter is not about real estate. This chapter is about managing your personal finances.MoreLess
