if you are so emotionally rich, why do you need more of my money?

Yuo can laugh till the cows come home, but I would not trade my expenses and problems and frustration of raising kids to being all alone for anything.

Again, I think we have estableished the few hundred bucks per child is nothing compared to what each child costs in a year. And you may think you have enough to cover your old age all by yourself, but very few can, statistically proven. And with medical advances, you may outlive your productivity to society by decades.

So you may be in for a surpise and be thankful somebody will be covering your ass when you are old and sick and nobody but the government will care about your butt.

Why do those who have the most, want the most?

I don't have the most, but I want the most. the system prevents it. it is set up for dependence. you will see one day.

wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong. I will have enough, because I don't waste. don't look at me because you have enjoyed a life of cable television and cell phones.

I thought you had enough to cover yourself through decades of old age and sickness, jmarquise. Millions, right.

Or is your idea that through careful investments you will evolve from a poor sucker in your 30s to a Rich Man in your 60s.

If that is the idea, trust me you picked the wrong timeframe.

No way investments will cover you the way that the stockmarket is going.

So you may be thankful for all these "breeders" before too long.

I hope I don't find out until after Saturday, cuz I'm just a little kid who watches Saturday morning cartoons.
When do you suppose I will suddenly change? When I retire?
