He warns against overindulgence and suggests disciplined investing, not reckless spending, to build wealth. He also weighs parental expectations for a 19 year old college freshman buying a 17000 mini truck, endorsing some adult responsibility like contributing at home.

GAO flags flaws in ATP as Accuwave funds backfire
GAO reports the Advanced Technology Program wastes public funds by duplicating private research. Accuwave, a Santa Monica firm, received 2 million for optical fiber signaling gains but went bankrupt in 1998, while bigger rivals like Bell Labs Nortel and Ciena advanced the field.
