    Part of it is timing and the market also – back in the day my parents and grandparents had a “stock market” meeting where they’d decide what companies to put their money into - they went with IBM and a little known publishing firm called “Marvel.” Both were fledgling organizations back then.

    So, now I’m in my parents’ estate and I was able to retire early (really I didn’t need to work, but I liked my job) and I see how high home prices are for the U.S. now and wonder how new families are ever going to be able to continue to live and find housing in this country.
