Hi again, 1st good for you on the girl. It is important to have similar financial logic. Perhaps not the details but definetley the field in which you play. Under... is ticking me off and your comments on the highest % group was very good. I thought I'd go in to that later. If we are to work on the whole networth/life success thing, I find it interesting that the real estate above all else crowd seem to spout whacky stuff. If you look further at what they are saying, they often are super cheap, super fearful people. I have no doubt under will remain relatively wealthy but it's not his passion for real estate that will do it but rather his avoidance of risk and probable miserly lifestyle. Any way you slice it though I'm not really anti real estate just anti stupid. (That whole revision to mean thing).

Finally, my wife's first husband family lost rights to the family company right before WWII and his family is still fighting for a split of the bus. It's a little firm called Bayer AG :-). Did I mention ex.... oh well.
