    Hell, no I don’t ‘like’ it… but I’m up 40 pounds.

    Very well, Brutus, you included Gladys in the problem of overweight without making her angry.

    It’s not about savings, it’s investments that double. Savings barely pays a percentage point or two.

    The stock market averages over 11% per year on average.

    Real estate also generally increases in value year over year. Usually not the 11%, however much more than savings.

    “Um, that is, I’ve doubled in weight, you’ve gotten a little more ‘big-boned’…”

    I have never been in a situation where having money made it worse.

    Learn the rule of 72 for how long it takes to double your investment.
