I've had people chastise me for
saying that when funds are taken
from me for my benefit, ie SS or
retirement, etc., that if those funds
disappear or can't be accounted
for, I contend it's either been stolen
or misappropriated, whatever you
want to call it. If the money was
lost through " investment ", somebody
did a poor job or didn't do their job
or is a thief or both. To me, it's the
same as if I deposit money in the
bank. It's supposed to be there
when I get ready for it regardless
of what happens in the world.
We had a "situation " here not too
awful long ago with the police and
fire department pension fund sans
funds. If they took it from them, it
it should be there if it wasn't stolen.
I've always been critical of people
thinking they knew better than I
about what to do with my money
