Now I just keep track of our investments, it’s a lot easier to do. Now after 11 years I know unless there is a total economic collapse, we will have plenty.
I don’t know exactly how much we spend these days, I know its a lot more than when I was working. But I know it wouldn’t be difficult to cut back if need be, but there is no reason to. We do and buy pretty much whatever we want these days, within reason of course.
