As it turns out Bernard, I have no trouble finding something I have that goes up every day .......

After many long years, I'm actually considering leaving the exciting world of investing.

I got a letter from the Social Security Administration today ...

It says that all I have to do is keep working till I'm 66 and 6 months and I will get the a monthly benefit of $1,814.

Which I'm guessing is roughly the equivalent of $600/month in Year 2001 dollars.

So I'm thinking ... "Hey, that's probably all I need to live on. So why hang on every tick when I'll be taken care of ?". 600 bucks will pay the rent, buy lots of tuna fish, and maybe let me eat at McDonalds once a week.

Of course my wife'll have to keep working ....
