RW> You would have been better served with that money in a money market fund.   
   RW> Up until Obama began spending us into this economy, my money market was   
   RW> paying more than your 18 year total, per month.   
      
   Yes, no question about it.  I was getting over 5% in my high yield savings   
   before the Obama went on a spending spree.   
      
   RW> With the inflation rates of the last 20 years, you lost money.   
      
   Yup.   
      
   RW> That will all change in January.   
      
   I certainly hope and pray!   
      
   RW> Some people don't believe that because the money paid in rent is a cost   
   RW> of living, no matter where that is. I had a friend who rented and put   
   RW> what   
   RW> he saved in loan interest into a money market fund. He died a rich man   
   RW> and   
   RW> someone else rented his apartment the following month.   
      
   The only time I rented in my life was when I first moved out of my Mom's house   
   at age 20.  I rented for 2 1/2 years before building up my income to buy my   
   first townhome.     
      
   From there, the rest is history..
