BTW, that reminds me: is anyone else concerned about the talk of an impending capital gains tax increase as you-know-who has made reference to? I may be jumping the gun here, but that bothers me. We live well below our means now so we can invest in order to live well after retirement, but I am concerned that my interest may be hit hard eventually. If that is the case, what is the incentive for making good fiscal decisions earlier in life? I worked a long time to become debt-free, and I would like to think that investing as I do will reap rewards in the future. Perhaps (hopefully) I have just read the accounts of possible tax increases incorrectly.
