Topics in this week’s show include:    

• I was going to call this episode “A Wifebeater” but thought better of it.
• Scott Burns says old folks should share a double-wide trailer.
• Please take the MMM Survey!
• Better than having to live in a double-wide trailer, have Index Funds Advisors help your plan your financial freedom.
• 12 New Necessities that drain your cash.
• And buy cheap electronics too.
• The iPhone 8GB will be $199 (ah, but the ATT monthly plan will be $70 at a minimum).
• The Stock Chartists are getting dizzy as the S&P 500 keeps bouncing above and below its moving averages.
• Are there just two men running for president?
• TrueOhioPlaya wonders about the Vanguard ETF splits. And is it time to write covered calls?
• Jason out of Muscatine says please, please, please try Linux.
• Jason out of Muscatine says his friend hasn’t taken the Risk Capacity Survey because he doesn’t have enough money. BAH! You don’t need to invest with IFA in order to review the survey results. And here is the link listing alternative investments, such as Vanguard.
• Caller tries to snare me in a snake pit and answer whether spending time on a real estate business or just buying a REIT would be best. hahaha
• Our Guru this week is Journey. Get their latest 3-disc album Revelation. Arnel Pineda can out-Perry Steve Perry.

Amazon.com: Revelation ASIN: B0018OAP7K

• I compare Perry and Pineda on Who’s Crying Now? Perry will be in your left ear. Pineda will be in your right ear. Or was it the other way around?
• This week’s Tool is Google Spreadsheets that allows you to create Surveys for free.
• Next week’s show, MMM-116, is my interpretation of the Couch to 5K Running plan which I break out into 12 Steps (naturally). Create a playlist in your iTunes software and add MMM-116 into the playlist so that it doesn’t get deleted.
• Buffet has placed a big bet that Vanguard’s S&P 500 index fund will beat a collection of hedge funds over 10 years.
• What should we stock up on at the grocery store?
