Hi Fox, I guess I'm turning into a "Quote" freak. This is for all AIMster's. From the book, Rich Dad's Guide to Investing: "The problem with many people is that they plan only up to retirement. Planning to retirement is not enough. You need to plan far beyond retirement. In fact, if you're rich, you should plan for at least three generations beyond you. If you don't, the money could be gone soon after you're gone. Besides, if you don't have a plan for your money before you depart this earth, the government does." Here is another good one, one that I can relate to. He said, "Many investors are like a family taking a drive in the country. Suddenly, on the road ahead of them appear several large deer with massive horns. The driver, usually the male of the household, shouts 'Look at the big bucks.' The bucks instinctively bolt from the road and onto the farmland along side the road. The driver veers the car off the road and begins chasing the big bucks across the farm and into the trees. The ride is rough and bumpy. The family is screaming for the driver to stop. Suddenly, the car goes over a stream embankment and crashes into the water below. The moral of the story is that this is what happens when you stop following your simple plan and begin chasing the big bucks." I see how this book compliments AIM. Keith
