If I'm following you.Past experience, learned or perceived, tells you not to walk down that alley with ten grand in your pockets, the risk may be different with ten bucks and you may decide to take the short cut.Changing the amount of money to carry does not change the risk of getting rolled, but it does change the risk of greater losses.

I tried to rent to a sod grower for shorter lease term, but he wanted better soil type than my land had.In general I want my children and grand children to experience lack, to learn the value of hard work, and be rewarded for all his own pursuits.

Some of my favorites are the '64 Lincoln Continental, '72 Chevelle, '87 Grand National, BMW 8-Series and the current MBZ CLS.

How about college for the grand- or even great-grandkids ?

No need to get into a grand debate or try to convert me.
