[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because we want $10m to retire.[/quote]

Why?  Give us an outline of your retirement plans and why you need that much to achieve them, then explain why those plans are so important and desirable that they're worth [b]giving up more of your prime years working [/b]to achieve them.  I'm genuinely curious.  After all, time is limited--for all of us.[/quote]

Np. Working is not “giving up” one’s prime years just because I have $5M invested. It’s a choice about how we want to spend our time, and some of our years. There’s a sense of fulfillment from that, and it’s no less valuable than puttering around in a vegetable garden.

Oh, please.  I retired with less than that and we have a gardener.  Your "sense of fulfillment" is more likely from deriving your self-worth and identity from your job title and paycheck.  And let's face it, most high paying jobs don't contribute jack shit to society.  It's not like you're a fire fighter or something.

This is pretty ignorant.  Partner at Goldman Sachs contributes just about everything you do.  Without the capital raising nothing you do in your life would exist or [b]exist the way it does now.  Computers, cars, electronics, leisure, air travel, the banking industry [/b]so you can but a home -- nothing.[/quote]

The state of all of those things you listed is not good right now. Getting worse and worse. Please stop raising so much capital. We’re good.[/quote]
