Brian,

I just read your story, it was entertaining and definately brings a different point of view to the situation. For me, the issue is burning bridges with my family. Investments is a family business and our approach leads to great job security, hopefully for generations. I will spend my money less conservatively than the rest of my family, as I subscribe to the belief "Spend it while you can, money's contraband, you can't take it with you when you go." It will be an interesting discussion with my father when I disclose my plans to buy a 55-65' yacht ASAP, currently monitoring "Contessa" a Sea Ray SSS 580, sale price is $399,000 and declining... I can only hope for more of these boats coming up for sale, and free-time to use (I am thinking the whole month of January, annually). Thanks again, Brian, the sotry brightened up my day from behind my desk and dual computer screens. BTW, gas is $3.989 here today, WOO HOO!
