R you echo many good points.
My family comes first without hesitation. I believe there is an movement among our generation to pursue careers that make a difference in our world and "giving back" instead of "taking all"... without being too cheesy, more Gordon Lightfoot and less Gordon Gekko lol.
If our WaMu becomes a windfall, my dad can retire and invest to his heart's content, and my fiancee and I will get married without delay (she's blonde, smart, and loves fishing). we both work in children's health care; needless to say, this is an investment for our family.
Good luck brother, and to all the great people on this Board.
