Three words? Pfff, I only need two:
Buy Microsoft Stock.
Because–duh!
EDIT:
1 share MS stock IPO price 1986: $21 USD
1 After splits and re-splits, 1 share is now 288 shares.
288 shares now is worth $6,048 ($281. share price today)
BUT…
Let’s add earnings since 2004 (first year):
Earning per share, per quarter since 2004=$6.99 per share
18 years = 72 quarters
288 share earnings x 18 years x 4 quarters = $20,736 total earnings 2004-2022
So your $21 investment in 1986 is now worth $6,048
Your earnings since 2004 (and still coming) have been $20,736
All for $21 in 1986
my rough math
If you had invested say, $5,000 your shares would be worth (after splits): $10,592,104
Earnings would now be: $139,830 per year

When the judge said I would be tried as an adult.
Perhaps…realizing there was no such thing?
When I drove by this:
At 63 years old, I’m still waiting for one.
First time i’ve used makeup!
when I had to register for the draft?
Pubic hair.
Officially? Where I live, one is officially an adult once one turns 18. So I guess, the first sign is the clock striking midnight on one’s 18th birthday. Officially…
Unofficially, the reality of my existence reminds me from time to time that I am no longer a child and that my time here is quite limited. I can’t think of the first time it reminded me of that.
This comment reminds me of “The greatest show on earth” by Nightwish.
The song is about the evolution of earth.
Starts with a synth piano lilting melody that is peaceful and reminds one of nothingness.
Then fireworks synchronized with the music, the big bang I assume.
It even mentions LUCA (last universal common ancestor)
Your comment reminds me of when Richard Dawkins narrates a section describing exactly what you are referring to.
Pudge
Be sure to listen to the very end to hear the second narration by Richard Dawkins (17:00) which is basically what you expressed
The day I turned 55 - that’s when you become an adult in states with a large retirement communities.
When I needed to pay student loans and my parents were not there to bail me out.
Damn it.
My parents kept saying “Don’t do that damn it” or “Damn it, get over here.”
I thought that was my name until I started school.
