Deathtotaxes - love your handle. No, it was more like dumb luck. I just wanted to have my own place cuz my former SOB landlord kept turning the heat off at 2:00 AM every morning!!
I helped a family member out of financial ruin - I don't regret it - I would do it all over again. What I regret is not taking profits from the stock market. Now I just play the pennies for fun. No more high price stocks!!
I just wish back then we had a forum like we do now.
