Hey Michael, way to go. All the best and congratulations.
Michael and Street Smart,
Your fathers would be very proud of you both...
Couldn't agree with you more....my Dad died of leukemia and I know what you went through.....It is a post like this that validates why I have never equated time with money in real-world terms. Your father would be very proud of you.
@Asa, that made my day.
Now that I'll be in NYC more often, I'll have to find some time to see you at the station.
Can't wait! Grab the Missus while you're at it!
P.S. One of your photos is hanging in my home office.
amen to that! I needed it badly!
Let's go into an Econ 101 conversation and talk about opportunity costs, shall we? I could have caught up on sleep or I could have written a post for IU. You won, my sleep time lost. Trust me, man, I was working. :) I am back in Chicago and raring to go! Let's hope my portfolio feels the same way....
@Michael, I second all that's been said earlier about how profound this post is and how much I hope you enjoy your vacay...
There's a saying that no one ever lay on his/her deathbed and said, "Gee, I wish I'd done more housework!"
That's because when we leave this world, the only thing of importance is the loved ones we leave behind. I am particularly reminded of that every April as I prepare to mark the anniversary of my father's death in 1999 from a brain tumor. At age 68 he was at the top of his game with money, freedom to travel, investment security, status, achievements, honors, awards. But when he received his diagnosis of an inoperable glioblastoma, the most virulent type of tumor, the only thing that sustained our family during the shocking three and a half months before his passing was love.
Settling his estate was complex, and the task fell to me. I would have traded every dime of that money for more time...the one thing that we couldn't buy.

@Scott I guess Micheal was busy making deposits in his family's individual relationship banking accounts. If we consider it in terms of money he's depositing an intangible asset but just the same very valuable.:)

@Micheal It is good to be able deal with companies that offer that level of customer centric service. I have not had the pleasure of dealing with Ally bank but from what you say they seem to be on the right track when it comes to customer service.
