and he is not greedy either. I am spread out all over the place financially. "Don't put all your eggs in one basket" is our motto. I didn't make a bunch and I won't lose a bunch either. He is a Vanguard fan from way back too. He learned from his parents to be frugal (the depression) and that is how I was raised. I saved every penny I earned and lived a frugal life but now may lose it all due to being sick before I could retire and now have the ACA. If that is taken away I lose everything very quickly. Something is very wrong with our capitalist country and healthcare.
