How do you reward yourself using the profits of Permanent Portfolio?

I plan to buy a McRib $2.99 from McDonald and $1.50 Hot Dog from Costco, eat them, and exercise for two hours.

How about you?

Sausage McMuffin with a hash brown.
Except the one by us is now charging $5.05. Can you believe it?

So, I'm boycotting.

You know how to enjoy life, mate.

Costco used to have these McRib knock-offs. You'd pull one out of the box, stick it in the microwave... and two minutes later, be enjoying your BBQ paradise.

I don't eat like that anymore, now that I'm married. The McMuffin was a cheat day I allow myself, once every couple of months.

If I was still single, I'd probably be fat as a house.

I love that McRib, but I don't eat the bun. Otherwise, too many carbs for me.
Glad to see it's back for a while.

Disclosure:
I am a Fat-Head, the Movie, fan.
If McDonald's is in VTI, then I own some of that, too.

I enjoy good food and good coffee. The PP and eating well is a nice contrast: living in the moment and planning for the future.

I love his website as well. Very funny and highly informative on nutritional articles

Took the wife out to breakfast at Cracker Barrel. There are so many good ways to 'eat' into your profits!

Bob, you are a smart man.

Odysseusa, not really sure how smart I am but after 33 years of marriage, I have learned, often times the hard way, how to maintain 'domestic tranquility.' While the PP is outstanding, it does little to reduce the amount of "nag-arama" (as I call it) that we husbands have to endure. Taking a little of the PP profits and spending them on breakfast at Cracker Barrel or dinner at Red Lobster helps the 'marital bliss' - at least it does around my house!

Thanks, Bob / PPers

Have a peaceful and joyful weekend.

I'm going to buy a Happy Meal from McDonald's. They now have Dreamwork's Puss in Boots action figures in them.

Aren't you a few months late?

Is it just me, or does he look high?

You got it all backwards my friend. You stay fit when you're single so you can attract the ladies. Then when you get married and she is locked in, you get fat.

At least that is how I'm doing it.

She won't give me the keys to the refrigerator.

This is the reason why 50% of marriages end in divorce.

You work harder in marriage to keep it long lasting.

Coffee, the Smurf in the photo is probably high on (little c) coffee. Kids don't order it, but you can get it to go with the Happy Meal.

MediumTex, good things come to those who wait.

Hear hear! Let's all resolve to retire 10 years ahead of wherever our standard retirement schedule would have put us. I'll meet you on the beach and buy the first round of drinks... Bring your leather chaps and zombie ammo...

Try to do 100 push-ups all at once but can only do 10 right now, will do another 9 sets of 10 push-up.
