At the Bank

It's that time of life. The wife and I have been to see an "investment consultant" at the bank, where we learned about the different ""bags" we should be putting aside to be opened at various points in our life-cycle. It was an eye-opening discussion, mainly because a) I discovered that the bag I have marked "pension" is currently empty, and b) the bag I have called "cashable savings" is actually full of other people's money. Good job that bonus money is coming in is all I can say. I'm reminded of Oscar Wilde. When shown the bill for his expected funeral costs he said, "It seems I will die beyond my means too".
