Things I already own, but good to get more info on the advantages ..

Wife and I were talking balance today... How much to spend vs. Save..

I have set the numbers way out on our portfolio, and we are looking to make sure to not leave too much on the table..

I would love to just blow some more cash, but not yet..

Investing for the future, and enjoying today... We crunch the numbers every January, and then a major review every 5 years..

But Time has compounded things quite well. People think they may have missed opportunities already...

Not so, Time and the income stream is on your side..

Money made while you work, sleep, or race Greg...

Well -- this is all real easy in a bull market.... I look at the charts showing the big dipper in '08/'09 and that's a valid reminder of what CAN and DOES happen... I know lots of guys that were down 40% because they had too much invested and didn't keep any out of harms way... then they had to sell in a down market ---- and then couldn't buy in that down market either...

To take a quote from a great movie --- "big mistake! HUGE!"
