Thank you CA renter. We were CA renters too from 2004 – end of ’09.
The problem is that I do not think my situation is all that unusual. Anyone of the sandwich generation could have these issues. Kids in college, elderly parents. Parents that outlive their savings. All it takes is one spouse to get ill to reach the tipping point. Many medical services we may want are not covered, especially alternative such as acupuncture, homeopathy, preventative on going care. Copays for medicine that used to be $5 when we didn’t need them are $45 now that we do. It can add up real fast.

Back to the original post. Can’t someone go through clubs like The Norris Group and make an 8-9% return on their money with pretty much minimal risk?
Of course there is always risk or there would be no reward, but I think they have a really good track record going back quite a ways.
I was thinking that might be quite a bit better than the 5.5% mentioned and might help to take care of a lot of the additional costs everyone has mentioned.
I know I’d rather have my money or at least some of it in something with a proven track record. Maybe I’m just not a stock guy.
