Appreciating good examples

[mtbc]

A few people in my life have inspired me by being reliably open, kind and generous to just about everybody. I behave at a lower standard: for example, I mentioned realigning my invested savings: I did not put much mind to ethically investing despite having previously given it some weight when making choices about my pension plans. Even if I can be selfishly short-sighted, the example set by such good people helps me see that. The more that contrast makes me aware of my failings, the more likely that I may yet somewhat mend those ways.

Yes, you should think about those things!

I have no money to invest, so it's a moot point for me. (My retirement is in an interest-bearing account, because I can get 3% on it.)

3%'s really not too bad in these times! (We'll see if the Fed cuts rates tomorrow afternoon.) I'll have significantly less capital once I buy and am no longer renting, I just don't want to invest in the local property market when real estate transactions are such a pain here and I don't plan to stay anyway.

I'm quite happy with 3%. (grin)

Yeah, it doesn't make sense to buy a home where you know you won't be staying.
