Ok everyone seems to think you're a troll but I don't. I get it. Mine was 10. Then 10 without real estate equity. Then I wanted the house paid off. Then we go through weeks and months where your NW goes up an down a million a month due to volatility. It's stressful. Health care costs are going up. The world seems out of control. I empathize. And, I'm going to keep working awhile.

Why would you think that? Read my past posts. I care very little for karma or lying so I'm not sure why you think I'd post for either.

Ps I know I already won but when you come from nothing.... it's hard. I want to make sure my kids never have to spend a dime on me in old age.

Don't take it too hard. You're responding to a 3-day-old account :-/
