It is excessive.

My theory is it's the only way I will ever get any real benefit from the excessive (oh...excuse me...fair share) taxes I pay.

. :)Stay away from gaudy excessive jewlry or large hats, IMO, it's another attention distractor.I failed to mention tats above, so this applies to both men and women, a small tat is fine, if you have badassbiker with a dagger dripping blood, cover it up with clothes.

It is a really nice feature of the house now though, but really excessive for a rental property.

The SECs reasoning for this is that if you are an individual earning a certain amount of money (in excess of $200,000 per year for instance), or are of a certain worth (say $1,000,000) or with certain assets or funds in the bank, the logic (however flawed) is that such a person by default must have an ability to make informed decisions about an investment and therefore is accredited.Obviously one can have a PhD in Finance and be well qualified to make complex investment decisions and not be an 'accredited investor' but the SEC in an attempt to 'protect' investors, defines a class of investors that an 'issuer' of securities can legally solicit when trying to raise funds.
