G'morning all!!
I hope it goes well for you Brendan!! Be nice to get back to CO eh?

On the 92%..yeah I am relieved. It was a class I didn't want to take, on stuff I don't care about...and you guys know how much I enjoy being forced to do things. It's my very favorite. My biggest fear was not passing, because then work would've charged me for part of the tuition, and then I would've gone crazy and quit or some dumb thing since my rope seems to be getting shorter and shorter by the DAY. So, I averted that reaction which is a good thing. In the meantime, anyone has any questions about life insurance, annuities or securities, you just let me know.

Sounds like you have a variable annuity. You really should consider going with a fixed annuity so you always have a guaranteed interest rate, and a plan that invests conservatively.

correct you are.
i want it fixed rate, but the rest of the guys in the union want it invested because they are money hungry.
i tried explaining to them what would happed when the stock market took a dive, but they were all too wound up with their "the stock market will never crash" mentality.
now they are all screaming bloody murder cause i was rite.

but on the same lines, they refuse to go fixed rate because they think the market will get better and they will make the lost money back.

over the past 11 years, i have lost almost $24,000 from my annuity fund because of these idiots and their stupid stock market investments.


some people were born stupid, and others work all their lives to get that way.

I thought at his age they still recommend the variable to maximize his return potential?

I guess this doesnt figure in the current depression...

Morning All...enjoying my second cup of Java, wish I had some irish whiskey!

Had a couple margaritas last nite...Yummy!!

Hey Cris...I think Autumn is here!!

Its work related, but it is nothing compared to what others here are facing.. but it is still a drag,

We had recieved a 20% pay cut with hope of getting it back in 9 weeks, we are no longer expecting the money back. That with the wifes hours being reduced by 50%..

As I said, nothing compared to what many of our brothers and sisters here are going through.. but it is still a drag..
