My friend wanted to retire early, I guess. Well, he's over 50 so his penny stocks weren't successful. I think he figured the stock market was a good place to make money because his dad invested in stocks, but not penny ones. He invested throughout his lifetime and made a tidy little nest egg.

He used to date someone, but she finally told him farewell because his idea of a date was she would make dinner, and then, if they went to a movie, it was dutch treat. That's why I think he's going to be a lonely old man one day.
