: wayne  stupid I am 
: with a 6 figure income

: Its a good thing I dont take my financial advice from you!!


It was a mistake to leave my phone number in my sig file when I replied to
this gentleman's posting. He phoned me last night to try to interest me in
going into his business, where he makes his alleged six-figure income.
It's Amway. As for taking financial advice from me, I haven't done too
badly. At age 43 we have over a quarter of a million dollars in mutual
funds. That's invested inside and outside of our RRSPs. I've calculated
that my wife and I will be able to retire with a monthly income of well
over $6,000 in today's dollars even if we never invest another cent from
today on. We own our house mortgage free and own rental property. We're
borrowingmoney on our mortgage-free house to buy more mutual funds. As for
RRSPs being horrible, as he suggests, he doesn't know what he's talking
about. We have the best government-sponsored retirement savings plan that
I know of in the world and Canadians would be well advised to put as much
into RRSPs as they are able. If Dave is getting as rich as he suggests by
selling Amway, good for him. It's not for me. It's also not for a lot of
people. If you want to lose friends fast, just start talking Amway. I want
to become financially free and keep my friends. Some of them are also my
clients, and many of them are doing quite well also.

Oh, Dave, one more thing: If you wish to respond to this. Please do it
here. Your phone call disturbed my wife.
