[quote=Anonymous]Reading Edelman's The Truth About Money (late 90's?) really inspired me to kick my savings into gear. He made compound interest sounded soooo freakin' awesome. Even a regular person, like me, could save a lot if I just started early enough and gave my money time to grow. On paper the numbers work out wonderfully. But the reality: when things are going good in the market it is awesome. But when the market tanks, OMG. Don't look. Yes, I know, that's the way the market works. At any rate, I admire Edelman but I've come to realize that I crave a certain amount of safety, too. Especially as I get older. Paying down a 3 % mortgage isn't very exciting, not nearly as exciting as letting your money ride the crazy dips, hills, turns and loop de loops of the market..true enough. [/quote]
