This Timeless Question By Joe Biden Can Help You Plan Your Net Worth
A story from Forbes shows that Joe Biden has always been concerned with the philosophical question: what importance should be given to net worth?
He is reported to have asked his dorm mates while still in school, “You guys could be guaranteed—upon graduation—a job at the DuPont company, with a nice starting salary and a job for life, but you would never make more than $40,000 a year (some $340,000 today). Or you could take a job at half the salary, no guarantees, but there would be no limit to the money you could make. Which would you take?”
Now, that is some timely question that is still relevant to many today as it was then.
