Not to contribute to fear-mongering, but it is also quite possible that he's cash heavy so he can go shopping when everything is on sale...Food for thought. 

But, if you are humble and self-aware, you can get to where you want to be through considered actions and momentum building.I'd imagine that's a much less stressful way to get to the place one wants.Just some food for thought, do what works for you. 

Everything from weather , food to people and things to do!

Stock prices verse stocks not including the s&p, or rising food prices except fruits, vegetables, meat and grains.

I think strategy for an investor might change as you go up the food chain on investing.

It's downtown and $10 to cover the cost of room/food. 

Just some food for thought.Bob

I give to foster children, pregnancy resource centers, impoverished children in foreign countries, fight sex trafficking, food banks, animal shelters, veteran's groups, women's shelter, local fundraisers for highschool sports, 4H activities, Christian youth ministries, and more.

So I recommend that you invest aggressively (based on your risk tolerance) to grow your money via appreciation investments (in real estate, these would be double digit annual returns such as flips or being a hard money lender) and once you attain the level of cash you need to be financially independent, then you invest into income producing assets (in real estate this would be buy and hold properties and long term Private Money lending).I hope this gives you some food for thought. 

Hopefully this "food for thought" will help you come to the right decision for you and your wife.
