Wish you guys would have given me a heads up that you were voting this way. I would have sold all of my stock before the plunge hit yesterday. Guess I won't be retiring anytime soon.

Retiring to what? Youre' not going anywhere old man no matter how much you lost......and if you're patient you'll get some of it back ...are you still workin', Km? God bless you if you are I don't now how any of you can work and then come home to workx10!

I had to quit my day job after B's diagnosis in 2013......I'd come home to a new holde in the wall or some minor but messy wound.

Hey maybe you should invest in Trumps business.....hahaha

Yes, I still work full time, but work from home 4 days a week. Kim's mom watches her one day a week, so I can go into the office. Was hoping to retire by the age of 57 (my last name is Heins afterall), but I only have 9 months until the big day. Not sure I can afford my current lifestyle on my retirement savings and I'm not banking on Social Security to be around by the time I can draw it.

Oh poor Mr Heinz, Even working at home it still got to be arduous> And to think Kims mom looks after her...that poor woman has got to be at least 20 years older than your wife....Well every story is different and every story deserves commending.

All seriousness aside, I bet you been waiting to turn 57 all your life eh?hahahhaa

Well continue to be the wonderful man you are , Mr. Heinz

And yah who knows if SS is going to be around....by the time I get It ,i'll probably be dead anyway!

Blush. Kim's mom is 72 (she was really young when she got married and later pregnant .... supposedly). Good thing she doesn't have access to this site.
