…and in the middle of a very interesting video on people being foolish with their money an advertisement for an expensive roasted coffee delivered to your door :slight_smile:

Went to a party Saturday:

  • Looking forward to talking with a friend I haven’t seen for a while. Asked his wife where he was - he had to work. Well, at least he’s making bank on the overtime, I say. No, his wife says, unfortunately he went to salary…

  • Lot’s of talk about financial advisors. “Mr. Gary” helped us get a 529 plan for junior. “Our guy” tells us how much we can spend.

  • Nephew’s wife quit working for the family business to be an advisor at Edward Jones. At least she’ll be on the other side, but suspect it’s something like a multi-level marketing scheme, and she’ll be offering us a free financial review…
