- Don’t bank on this ROI
Dear Mrs. Figgins:
My boyfriend, whom I’ve been dating for 11 months.
We’re both 32 years old. I have had a steady job since I was first out of college and have saved a good amount of money for my retirement.
We’ve talked about marriage someday but nothing has been set yet.
He’s asked me to invest in his new venture. I really don’t want to but if we’re going to have a future together I think it will show trust.
Looking for an emotional return on investment.
Dear Emotional:
Emotions and investments make for a down market in more ways than one.
Your future hopes are at big risk on this one – and so is your money.
He can’t commit on marriage and you want to commit your retirement dollars on him?
Don’t bank on this ROI.
Mrs. Figgins
