Ah, sorry about all your losses DD! Hope you are feeling better and healing over time too.
I haven't made a million yet (on those investments), but at least $130k so far! So it is a start. :-)
If I do well, I will give a good portion away over time to good causes. I don't understand how some people get all caught up in their wealth. It is a sickness, and the can't take it with them! Sure their kids can spend it, but is it bring them happiness and peace?
