Something To Ponder
What you want is power, freedom, accomplishment, and happiness.
A purchase cannot do that. What you do not have cannot do that.
Everything you need is within your brain and your soul and it’s your job to figure out how to bring it about.
What you have, your health, your family, your friendships, and my favorite thing, your potential, shouldn’t just be appreciated but rejoiced. You should be ecstatic about what you have. You should write it down every day and realize that focusing on what you don’t have is a rabbit hole that will never end.
When you make it a habit of desiring things and stuff that aren’t already yours, you won’t break that habit. It doesn’t matter how much you acquire or how much you end up owning, it will always end up owning you.
Change. Now. Be unlike the minions who see and buy and build up debt. Know what’s important in life, it’s actually quite simple.

The Mis - Leading World Of Sales Numbers
You call this a slump?
Sales fall, but shift to more profitable mix
Total sales have fallen for six consecutive months, but the market is nowhere near as gloomy as that sounds. Retail sales have slipped less than 1 percent from a year ago, with the slowdown largely a product of reductions in less-profitable fleet deliveries.
And for many automakers, especially the Detroit 3, the fact that consumers are snapping up high-margin SUVs and crossovers instead of less-expensive sedans has been a boon to their bottom lines. U.S. light-truck sales rose 4.7 percent in the first half, setting records in every month except April and heading toward a total for the year of more than 11 million, after hitting 10 million for the first time in 2016.
Industrywide, transaction prices are up 1.5 percent this year to $34,442 before incentives.
Compact crossovers and SUVs sell for nearly $8,000 more than compact cars, KBB said, while midsize crossovers and SUVs transact at about $12,500 more than their sedan counterparts. Automakers would much rather let consumers gravitate toward the costlier vehicles than try to draw them to slower-selling cars with big discounts.
