Whilst retirement plans were generous I'm sure that might be true. Given the recent cliff-like fall in the value of annuities it seems that ppl retiring in the futiure are going to have a much rockier ride. Graham

It's really quite > odd behavior, if you ask me. So you're brain damaged. No surprise there. The story about the boy who cried wolf was lost on you then. Eventually there is, invariably, a wolf. To not be fooled a number of times is meaningless if the wolf, because you've developed a false sense of immunity, actually destroys that which you value in the end. You might want to review the story about the sword of Damocles although I'm pretty certain you won't "get it" either. |
