[QUOTE="Bubblehead, post: 647975, member: 14176"] I'm not sure this is a parallel analogy, but this post put me in the mind of this story. We have a feeder driver that has something like 45 years of safe driving. When asked why he continues to drive when he is obviously way past fully vested in the pension, and well past retirement age, he tells this story. Some time ago he divorced his wife and in the ensuing bitter battle to split their assets, it was determined that he would have to give her a piece of his retirement benefits when he retired. It is his contention, and intention obviously, that he will die behind the wheel of that feeder before she gets another penny from him. While I grinned and found this funny and admired his persistence initially, I found myself inevitably pitying him. In his efforts to win the battle, he is losing the war. The woman he is trying to defeat is kicking his ass, all the way to the grave, whether he realizes it or not. Weigh your options carefully when choosing between time and money. [/QUOTE]
