I'm glad I'm fairly young otherwise I'd take my money out and play the lottery.

I was talking with one of my customers yesterday... he said he wish he'd have retired last month. Now he doesn't know how much longer he'll have to work.

To save money and pay off some bills I went light on my investments the last two years and my guy would always badger me that I was making a mistake.I can't wait to see him and hear the spin he gives me on why losing my money in the market was better than taking it out and paying off my debt.

We have an older guy at my work who was thinking of leaving.His work has gone to shit lately but now he's fucked.

I started investing at 18. I was amazed at how well I did in 13 years. I am no longer amazed.

Good investment idea in extension cords capable of holding the weight of old pathetic mexican expatriates.

This is a good site that breaks down the proposals.

The McCain plan is:

Take $300 billion.
Pay double current market value to banks that have troubled mortgages on their books, thus:
Give a present of $100 billion to the bankers who made the loans.
Acquire and regularize the mortgages of only two-thirds as many homeowners as could have been accomplished if the $300 billion were invested wisely.
There's a big difference here: Democrats want to prevent depression and support the financial markets by investing taxpayer money in banks with troubled assets. Republicans want to give taxpayers money away to the shareholders and managers of banks with troubled assets.
