While I have no concept of that level of wealth, learning to have one could be fun!

I'm not greedy, I'd settle for Bernie's 2.5 million.

Hmmm... Boys, I don't think Bernie did that well. Personally, I think everyone should be a millionaire by the time they retire. Heck, if you're born middle class and healthy - why not? We all have the same investment opportunities.

Not to derail this from the orginal focus,
but I just read this piece about Bernie. I choose that source to annoy Joe
That said, it leaves me with more questions than answers. Bernie didn't hold a regular job, or enjoy dependable income until being elected Mayor of Burlington at age 40---and he stepped into the world of high finance with a salary of $32,800.
I am left with a lot of questions about how he has "acquired" $2.5 million in that period of time while never holding what I would consider a high paying position---not to mention his professed socialism.

I'd have made it if not for that 1999 divorce, lost everything and couldn't start again because every time I did she would take me to court for more money. I just as of last Friday have no more obligations as far as kids go so at the age of 66 I'm not going to make it.My biggest concern is finding a place to live right now, it feels like the coldest winter we've ever had down here of all times.
