We've decided it's time to get rich.
Lotto winnings would be nice, but since we don't play it's not a viable option. Neither is gambling since:
1) We suck at it and
2) We don't enjoy it
So that leaves earning and investing, I'm afraid, and we're getting serious about it. In the past year or so, we divided up our old 401(k)s with our practice spouses (as required by the courts,) bought life insurance, transferred our 401(k)s into SEP-IRA accounts and have those invested in a nicely diversified and fairly aggressive portfolio of low-cost mutual funds.
Then today I opened a new savings account at HSBC Bank, an online bank that's fully FDIC insured. They're paying nearly 5% interest on regular savings accounts, which beats the hell out of the 1% (or less) Bank of America pays.
Bring on the wealth!
