Wow. From all the “class warfare, eat-the-rich” replies I’d think I was on democraticunderground.

Lady and her husband had good jobs, paid a lot of taxes and made investments based on a personal recommendation from someone she trusted. Turns out she isn’t as smart about personal finance as all the posters here so the spite-fest begins.

So I can assume everyone here is a subject matter expert in every aspect of their lives?

Yes it is a bit off-putting. Maybe some folks here would be more comfortable if the woman had lost a smaller dollar amount, or just didn't have as much to invest in the first place.

Work hard. Invest. Get bilked by a criminal. Get ridiculed here.

Wow.
