Bought Into this Bloodbath

I was greedy while others were fearful

Look, my day was unbelievable for a middle-aged, middle-class guy.

Mensch or not, I had money flying every which way. I started the morning by transferring nearly three grand from our checking account to our son’s college.

Oh well, that’s what I do.

That’s why I diligently saved for over fifteen years and am still saving for our daughter’s upcoming college years. More on that later.
