Out Of The Mouths Of Wives

We recently moved our retirement account from an online brokerage firm to a company with local advisors. I guess we figured we needed a bit more guidance than, well...none.

Since hooking up with this new company, though--and through no fault of our advisor’s, by the way--the market has taken a precipitous drop. Our balances have done likewise.

So today, we ran in to our investment advisor and his wife at the post office.

“Hey, it’s you,” I said, in as light a tone as I could manage. Even If I am somewhat disenchanted with our fledgling relationship, I wouldn’t want him to think I was about to go postal on him. “What a coincidence. We were just talking about our money...”

I thought maybe he’d spout a bit of timeworn advice like “This looks like a great buying opportunity...” or maybe “We’re going to need to keep a long-term perspective.”

But no, his lips were sealed. Instead his wife spoke up with the most funny money line I’ve heard in a long time.

“Hope you’ve got a lot of it!”

  2. Let me just say that I am a huge fan of real money--in other words, gold and silver. Paper money isn’t the devil. It’s just that it was meant to be backed by the gold standard--actual physical gold reserves held in the financial institutions. Those were the days, eh?

  3. I worry about my retirement fund since our Gov. Schawzenneger loves to dip into it to help balance? California’s budget. Really Scary politics!!!!
