Vexing Questions for and Against, (financial) House-holders of the Future..."Have"...Have not!"

Q & A: As in from one so-called stake-holder (as there are very few steaks to be found, red meat around here, anymore and if it was allowed, not sure it would be so-called affordable")...to some other...more-or-less well off-ers...

First question from a representative of the #*&^'$$$ generation (look back a few days if you need clarity as to who is, or will be, in this gen) to one representing, qualifying as an "Old Fogey" type (when was the last time you came across this term of endearment???): "So, just what is the point, of all these pyramids?"

OFT: "That's exactly the point...it's almost eponymous, these pyramids...been around a long, long time, and the shape of things to come...these early designers really knew what they were doing, and have ever since kept us guessing...almost as vexing as the riddle of the so-called Sphinx...Simply put, it's all about getting in at the ground floor and keep building...until you come out on top and look down on all those who are now holding you up (as well as the ones now left holding the debt)...like if you bought a few shares of Apple when others thought you were a fruitcake for doing so..." Ahhhh the foresight of these Pyramid People, schemers...I am in debt to them, owe them a bit of gratitude, at least..."

"Back at Ya" Or, more directionally, looking down at You #*&^'$$$ types, given where I designed to be, well into the future...a question that has vexed, been the source for intergenerational angst for centuries..." Comes the second, just as important question..."Just when are you going to get a job, go out and be productive, become a tax paying citizen, so that the rest of U.S. OFT's can live out our years in comfort, in so-called Social Secure terms?"  

"Asked and (already) answered" What the judge or referee might say, on behalf of the witness, or whoever finds themselves in the witness seat...Here re-envisioned to include the perennially un- or under-employed, regardless of intention..."I'm quite content to just to be part of the new BD generation (basement dweller for those who haven't had one as part of their extended family)...didn't you tell me to get in at the ground floor...and let those that would build, build....I learned from the best...pyramid builders, that is...but thanks for checking in on me..." 

Rhetorical Oracle: A third party in this Q $ A session, one representing One who asks, provokes questions that are a bit, well, rhetorical in nature, that have no easy answers, but get asked anyways..."Paper or plastic?" Another perennial favorite, but here not asked by a retailer, cashier, or what used to be termed a bagger (all of which are falling from sight, given all the AI's abound...). Which used to be a way, a measure of courtesy as to how you would like to carry out your purchases. But in this "new economy", after paper (money) got shredded due in part to 3D copiers threatened the authenticity, and plastic (i.e., what used to be called "credit cards") got hacked, then sacked, and what someone else dreamed up in iterations of cyber-coinage were also eventually replaced by yet another "scheme" takes US and Them almost full circle, which finds us "bartering" with each other...who's gonna' come out on top of this type of structure, in this "have, have not!" equation, is anyone's guess but in the meantime, back to the immediate and final...

A & Q: Kind of like how they used to do it on "Jeopardy" As in the statement "The future's looking up" issued from one of the BD's regarding the perennial question "So, what's in your future, if you don't set goals and objectives?" Well..."You always told me the sky's the limit, and now I see why, as rumor has it...one that managed to trickle down to us down here, below You, now that some in your Gen went and raised what innocuously (obnoxiously, if you ask us down here) the debt ceiling...just no telling how tall this house, I mean pyramid, might get, the lengths they'll go to... I'm just glad I hung onto my original in-the-box Air Jordan shoes...talk about the ground floor...rarefied air...never out of style and ever-increasing in value...my future's secure...So until the coast is clear, the House is free of these all-too-familiar, house-hold names, I think I'll just stay put here, with me feet on the ground...biden my time..."

State-meant of Confusion: As in "...maybe it's US, maybe we got it all wrong..." We end where we started, with no easy answers but some very worth-while questions...about how to balance the house-hold budget while maintaining a semblance of what we have come to call Our quality of life...

"All My Best" Until We meet again...
