Hi BIA, All I can say is there are some relatively young people on this thread that had about a million or so about five months ago and I practically begged them to cover like I have always done and they basically have nothing left. I will never understand how these individuals that had made this million you talk about could not have been happy on $70,000 to $80,000 per month. They did not cover for exactly the same thing you are leaving out, GREED. If that is your aim so be it and I wish you well. Like you say, you disagree greatly and you have that right, so did they. Go get em tiger. Happiness has no age cap. Selah, V

Hey BIA!! I fit in the "younger" part of the porch. Here is what I do. I have money in a few accounts to write CC's or play mo-mo's or whatever I please. I also have a nice 401K plan that has been going for for a few years now. This plan is in long termers and mutuels since I really can't touch it. Plus my company gives me matching so it grows fairly quickly. I also have stock options for where I work and earn more every year(as long as I stay here I guess!!). So in point I would love to wealthy but will wait five years or whatever. The way I look at it is if I can get this thing right I will not be working too much longer and if I get it wrong then oh well and I work like my parents did. I agree on not throwing all of your cash in this but one needs to give it a shot IMHO. Plus I feel it is fun!!! Anyway just a note from one of the younger ones....... Anobody else???? -drenko
