I wouldn't consider having to watch an almost 49 minute video in some internet forum to be a requirement to not be classified as an ADHD ****.

After 2 job losses that rocked the family, what I make goes into CASH. I learned my lesson. EVERYTHING is paid off, and I get my first paycheck this coming Wednesday with the new job. That will be 7 weeks without pay.

My checking to savings auto transfer is far in excess of the average household monthly income in the US. With my forth coming $90,000 C8, it doesn't even move the financial needle...BUT, I will only ever do one at a time. Once paid for, then I start over. C8 won't even stay...it'll be a C8 Z06.

The retirement funds have been under funded for decades. That's why property taxea are going to explode in some regions.

Big thing that made for a nice retirement for us is my hefty pension with a 95 percent funded pension plan from my fortune 500 company. That plus social for me and wifey, her pension, then 401K and then investments we feel very fortunate. Have two houses now likely going to consolidate down to one soon ....but a nice one ...

We had every thing paid off when we retired. Having no kids enabled us to save money.
