Your other alternative is to smoke heavily and drink to excess. The Prime Savers (Savers-to-Spenders) ratio topped out in the U.S four years ago in 97. Perhaps, those tax hikes to 'balance' the budget and immigration boom to bring in more spenders speeded that up.

depends on how people treat their approach to pension funds and such.... if they look and see, they are paying people who cannot deliver... well, 5% will look pretty darn good.... and i suspect... more and more.... suddenly a whole bunch of people may well be getting off their butts and trying to get an education on this subject as they release delegating their retirement existence to perfect strangers during the extremes of the bull market was not such a wise idea..... i'm glad you brought all of this up tonite. what those folks decide to do may well break the tie between bulls and bears in time. regards (as always) J
