Now I'm curious. Which one?

Investing savings since 1976, I've had dealings with most of the big
brokerage houses and come to the conclusion that about 75% of
investment advisors are hucksters & shucksters. And of course,
there's always Sturgeon's Law. My eyes were really opened by the
Crash of '87.

It's your money. You earned it. You take care of it. The last thing
in the world you want to do is trade your retirement years for a new
career of sleepless nights worrying about your investments. The
lawyers and advisors aren't going to lose any sleep. Their worst case
reaction is "oops, sorry about that" because you are just one of many
that they earn their fees or commissions from.

Contrary to some of the jokesters in rec.boats, I am not fabulously
wealthy. I did get lucky and was able to convert many years of work
into a reward that put financial worries in the back seat, for the
most part.
We put enough money aside in very conservative, long term savings type
investments that will take care of our needs when we are too old to
mess around. We also made some real estate investments that have
already produced decent returns. We actively support some charitable
organizations that have special meaning to us and take advantage of
the tax write-offs. And last, but not least, we budgeted some fun
money to enjoy during the last 15 or 20 years (hopefully) of our
active and healthy time on this planet.

Life is too short to spend it worrying about money.

I haven't looked at my Powerball ticket yet.


Did I win?

There is only one winner, and it is me.
