I sure hope this helps some folks understand what is "scary" to them. Because it shouldn't be. The problem is - people are reluctant to discuss finances and they shouldn't be. Everybody is different - some guys like SBC and some guys like Mopars = it's all good - and just like cars - finances need to be tailored to suit each persons requirements and what they're comfortable doing.
I have a buddy that has been in bonds for 30 years -- in my opinion -- he's lost his ass and could be so much more wealthy had he invested even half in stocks... but it's what he's comfortable with - so I don't try to make him see the light. The MAIN POINT is that he's doing SOMETHING - and anything is better than nothing.
