... where "it" is your pot o' gold.
Another person's post made me think about this. The poster basically said he felt uncomfortable posting details like how much money he had invested, etc.
That seems really sensible to me. After all, we're all trained from birth to refrain from talking about money, and people who blab on about their wealth are worse than bores, right? Well, except for all of us, that is--we talk about nothing else (except sticking nails into pee-pees and things like that.)
My feeling is, there is nobody else I can talk to about money, except my husband. It would be grossly impolite to bring it up among my friends, some of whom are in serious debt and others of whom are struggling to survive on meager government pensions. Various of my family members have first hand experience with bankruptcy. One of my sisters was heard to say she didn't know how much money her husband has invested, and she doesn't want to know. It's not "nice."
Needless to say nobody wants to hear about my plans to retire in ... let's see, this is Feb., so it's now 4.7 years away. Yet obviously, I am somewhat obsessed with the subject. So I blab my most secret intimate financial details to a million random strangers. I guess it is a little strange, isn't it?
