Charles, You didn't ask any prying questions and your English is fine. Let's assume to be conservative that G&K will outperform bonds by 2% over the next 40 years. If I thought they would only outperform bonds with rates of return guaranteed by the federal government by only 2 percentage points over a period of decades, I wouldn't invest in them. Am I too conservative? When tyring to determine when you can quit working, I think it's better to err on the side of caution if error is to be made. If you make a judgement mistake that requires that you return to work, you may not have the health to do so. Or you might be percieved as too old, making it difficult to obtain the job you desire. However, only you can determine what is too conservative or too liberal in your assessment because it's your net worth and your time that is at risk. --Mike Buckley
