The incident you described just makes my blood boil. But you have the last laugh. You've got your nest egg, your Chinese oil stocks, and some land in Arizona. They've got a bunch of debt.

I know much more than many of my male friends, but I'm very rarely seen as an equal.<BR/><BR/>My only comfort is, with the exception of one, none of my guy friends are nearly as financially secure as I am. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
