3. Im a health care professional

When DT got elected first term I made a decision: 1. I put all our 401 in a money market ( i know, I know spare me the lectures) 2. I left my thriving practice and comfortable life and home to live and work on an Indian Reservation, where I put my talents to work helping the poor and disadvantaged. I decided I didnt need a retirement fund and I am fortunate to be able to work in my profession until the day I die (knock wood). I am very fortunate as I love my work and am happy with the decision to never retire. In the meantime i have a valuable reason to get up every morning, as these folks need my help

As the song goes " money cant buy my soul, 'cuz it come from a hard earned place'

I do feel sympathy for those who are taking the hit on their 401s, but I got other folks to worry about too
