Is it the economy, stupid?
Thanks for reminding me that I have the opportunity to refinance
my mortgage and reduce my monthly payments.

Also, we are in the process of deciding what new car we are going
to buy. We may be able to get a loan from with zero interest from
the dealer/manufacturer.

Gee.. with all the money you continually brag about earning...why
not negotiate a better discount and pay cash for the vehicle?


He's highly leveraged, and hopes to be a dentist in his next life,
when he will stay in high school.

I can certainly understand taking advantage of the rates right now
to refinance a house mortgage, but going into debt for consumer
spending? Nah.

I am retiring in 10 years Harry, 10 years earlier than you will
start collecting your full social security bene's. And, the current
market conditions will not affect my retirement plans. As other have
said if the Dow goes down a couple of thousand points it is a buying
opportunity.



Maybe when you retire in 10 years, you can enroll in high school and
get your GED.

Won't need to, I will have retired 10 years sooner than most my age at
a higher standard of living than I have now.


Leaving you free to pursue intellectual interests, no doubt.

I can't think of many things more useless than being "retired."


I understand Harry, you can't retire, you neglected to invest your money
in the damn corporations and you stuffed it all in a mattress. No, all
you have is about $20,000 in one dollar bills.
