a funny thing was in march's money magazine they did a story on my wife and i in the portfolio makover column...when they were doing the origional interview they asked what i thought we would need in income when we retire....my answere was about the same as now since the only thing we would have more of in retirement would be time and time cost money ...the editor wanted to know why if we enjoy biking and camping why we needed so much money...the answer was "well we just dont bike around the block...we take trips and stay in hotels and do all sorts of things.....and then there are our hobbies.........

I can verify that! Cutthroat spends money like a drunk sailor on liberty.

Come to think of it, Minnesotta Slick used to be a drunk sailor on liberty.
