   I doubt it needs fixing.  I am easily in the top 5% for NW of the   
   Canadian population.  No debts since the early 90's...  Retired early,   
   have income, I don't even spend all that comes in.  Grand kids doing   
   well, daughter is in her early 30's with a job and hard working husband;   
   and $750K house is more than 1/2 paid for....life is good.  Going to   
   beat the old man at the rate she is going and two kids o boot.   
      
   See, I practiced what I preach and know it works.   
   --   
   Now the real war is on Obama-debt, to save America's future.   
   And do it for your kids sake....and ignore the selfish fleabags...
