I started planning for my retirement when I was in my thirties. I have always been a good saver but it was not until I was in my late thirties that I became an investor.

I wonder how many people who felt sorry for this woman would feel if the baby died in the car or was kidnapped. I would not leave a pet alone in a car much less a child.

Although, I may get an investing idea or interest in a stock, I have always found it best to do ...more
