Not so much addicted but quite a bit vested. My wife and I will both turn 57 this year. I'm terrified that Paul Ryan now has a majority to try to get his policy of privatizing SS and Medicare through. I have two adult children who I worry about. Maintaining a good relationship with China allows me to have a job. My home value is very high and stable right now. Worst case we could sell our house, outright buy a smaller place in a less nice part of town, and still have a boatload of cash in the bank to survive on.
Unlike some of you, all of this day to day stuff matters to me very much. If any of it goes south in a very bad way it could seriously **** me over.
