So I think I am a little better off now. I am retired. I had been sitting on cash for a time waiting on a chance for higher fixed income returns. Post Covid inflation has given me the opportunity to raise my cash flow by investing at these higher rates.
Back in the 90s. I started asking myself why I couldn't find a nice guy to spend my life with. I was spending a lot of time and energy in sex clubs. It occurred to me that I might be looking for love in the wroing places. I cut way back on the sex clubs and started dating. And I had a rule for myself of no sex on the first date. It was a frustrating experience - it's true, you have to kiss a lof frogs before you find your prince. And guys weren't happy with no sex on the first date. Eventually, I met the perfect guy - tall, handsome, nice, smart - everything I could ask for. I stuck with my rule of no sex on the first date - he wasn't happy about it - thought I was blowing him off, but I assured him I wasn't. I told a friend, who knew him, "I'm going to nab this guy." He said, "Don't you think you should check with him first?" I said,"No, I already know he's ripe for picking." Long story short, we've been a couple for over 30 years.
I think that if I hadn't tested the hypothesis that sex clubs are a lousy place to find a husband, I might still be looking.
+ The Big Guy got a reaction from Becket in Are YOU better off now than you were before COVID-19?
