When I bought a house a number of years ago, I drove the mortgage broker nuts because I needed to understand all the math in the deal. This was hampered a bit my less-than-stellar-but-better-than-average math abilities. I find that if I wrestle with a problem long enough, I can usually get it -- especially with regard to financial decisions. So I was happy to discover this board (which occurred because I had a Google Alert on "longevity annuities" and received a message about this board) where I see a lot of intelligent discussion that, more than occasionally, gets into the math.
About my nickname here: my hobby is making crossword puzzles. I've sold a few to the New York Times. This may be an avocation in my upcoming retirement, but it will never be a living. The NYT pays $200, and they are the top of the heap! But I figure that the time I spend making crosswords saves me money vs. other activities that might be more costly (read: bail money).
