Great replies from you today re this bs.
There is a lot of coveting and jealousy going on. People simply cannot understand why they cant have something that someone else has.
It is tedious.
God.
It is much harder to move or hide.
The IRA or 401k is the new family farm.
We own it. And we have the fire power to keep when push comes to shove.
