Go for it! And the next time you hear about your CEO getting an

buying power" relative to him -- perhaps by a factor of 10 or more
greater than the *amount* of buying power you've lost.

That's not the mentality of most businesspeople I've known. Not even
of engineers.


Well I kind of have gone into business for myself. I think a lot about various businesses I could go into. But none of my ideas seem like they would be real businesses. They all seem like they would be hobby businesses. And they all require work. And I do not need the money. So I just do a little investing and make more money than when I was working as an engineer.

And I am trying to get the next generation interested in investing. I funded my sister's granddaughter's Roth IRA. And am hoping she will eventually get interested.

I hope you succeed. It sounds like you're a good example for her.
