It really is remarkable what people are able to convince themselves of. I, personally, am doing my darndest to convince myself that it's actually a good idea to buy stocks, as they seem to always go up, and all this P/E and A/D stuff doesn't matter anymore. It's not working, though. My husband, who has a 403(b) - which is like a 401(k) for government employees, keeps giving me looks every time the market goes up - I begged him to take some of his money out of the stock fund and put it into the money market, so he did, but I think it's still 40% stocks, and he isn't happy with me.

A cynic might say that marrying a med student and putting him through school is among the best investments a woman can make. If he doesn't dump you, you're fixed for life. If he does dump you, hire a good lawyer and you're fixed for life. If I were the woman I'd pray to be dumped, soak him for a decent sum in alimony, move to some country where dollars go a long way, lie on the beach, and have hard-bodied young lads peel my mangoes for me. But I suppose that is a male perspective....
