Well I've noticed having a pile of $ keeps Murphy away, so if I have to have a Medivac chopper on Main ST podunk and take her anywhere on the planet your F##king right that's what's going to happen.What does this have to do with my investing strategy, well I set up our finances so we can live off of a 40hr week on one income "I usually work over that but its a good base".

King Insurance is very active in the non coastal western states and in Arizona, Edith Lasson out of Flagstaff is very well thought of.
