Clapster, I say that most people are sitting on a Monthly Money Making machine that would allow them to get out from under all the everyday stress and they just leave it floating around in the Casino until it either goes up or down and yet their quality of life is just as bad as ever. First, take care of your quality of life whether it be letting your wife quit work, buying the car you have always wanted or having money to pay off everything you owe and then and only then START WORKING ON YOUR FORTUNE. Most people are sitting on this machine that would bring in $20,000 to $30,000 per month and they refuse to do it. I mean hell think of the couples in Atlanta tomorrow morning that have to drag their asses out of bed, get dressed and fight the traffic, leave their kids behind when at least one could quit work and probably both if they wish. Now after this is done then work on your fortune. I advocate taking half of one's holdings and use the income from that to drastically change your life and let the other half ride in the CASINO but my GOD, no all of it. I do it and I don't have to go to work tomorrow or ever again. not being presumptuous, just fact and it is the way I have designed my life. My dad died two months ago having never enjoyed one dime of his savings because he thought he would need it one. THE MAN WAS 85 mind you, can you believe that the week of his death he was asking had anyone deposited his SS check in order to get interest. Little did my father realize that he could have had conservatively $20,000 a month in income and bought that farm he always wanted. This happens day after day after day and it is a damn shame, and guess who gets to spend his money now, Right, his kids. I just want to scream this from the mountain top. V
