Good bet?
Dear Mrs. Figgins:
I’m about to retire – and want to start a little side business. Wife’s against it because we would need to dip into our retirement, and if the plan fails it would be real hard.
Went to the small business bureau, and I think they’re another government front.
Went to the bank because I thought the government wanted banks to lend to kick the economy back into action. Doesn’t seem promising and that leaves going into retirment money..
I’m having some problems getting the wife to go along with this plan but I feel that if I don’t go after my dreams now, when will I ever get the chance.

Dear Bill:
A wife is the person who tells you to slow down – when you’re moving too fast.
The bank is the place that loans you money - when you can prove you don’t need it – or even want it!
These are times of uncertainty, Bill. Unless you can aford to gamble and possibly lose, slow down and don’t gamble the farm.
My advice: Bet on your wife’s intuition.
