That's good. I know some day I will probably have to find one that I like. I will probably use a CFP at some point, possibly a fee-only. I probably should start thinking about it more. But for now, I'm it. But that's just me. I am a freakazoid about it. I have remained quite conservative because I know I am not a spring chicken. My bottom line is to establish my own cost of sleep. That's my test. And I am boring so I fall asleep easily. But I will say that this thing now is the scariest thing I have ever seen for investments.

A financial planner called me today, in fact. He left a message. I do not know if he wanted to buy me dinner or not. Maybe he wanted me to buy him dinner.

I just hope my pension fund's financial planner is doing OK.
