I know, but it is what it is, Haha..

Like when I say that my emergency fund will make more money in a year.. I am talking 3 or so grand on the rainy day money, in profits.. Nothing earth shaking, but FREE money..Separate from the main Investments..3 grand in profits will pay for my Interior next fall..

Yes, I take Greg's figure's all with humor and awe... But I just try to break it down for the troops..On a Micro level, haha..Most money in Dividend paying , reinvested assets, some in 401K type, some cash for rainy days, but making money that i spend..In the old days, it would be in Savings and laddered CD's at DOUBLE digit gains... But alas, not now..

If you have been IN the game through 2008 and up to now, you are doing well.

Too many on the sidelines that never got it, or got out and they never really got back in..

And while I still see severe corrections in 2012, hold onto the tree, because in the end, we will be better off..And if your consumer debt is in order, oh man, the sweeter life is on the way..
