@Lisa – Hmm, it’s a long time since I read his thoughts, but if I recall correctly he was saying that choice/options are freedom, and choice/options are also what lead to anxiety. A tribe in the Amazon rainforest wouldn’t have anxiety, for instance, since every day was the same, except for seasonal variations, ritual differences, and the odd ‘event’ like an attack by a jaguar. They don’t spend every day waking up thinking “am I doing what I should be doing with me life?”

@Brad – Indeed! Funny — I get what you mean, but my heart sank for a moment as I thought you meant down Sweating The Big Stuff’s collated list of all entrants. Clearly I’m taking this challenge more to heart than I thought!

It looks like we are moving down the list nicely monevator!! I have enjoyed seeing myself drop in the rankings.

I have found myself checking multiple times a week to see how far I have dropped. (then I downloaded the toolbar—much easier!)

Have a great weekend!

Thanks Investor. I wondered who read that post. I thought I scared most of the people off by putting “death” in the title.

I saw the two articles you reviewed on the Economist. They also did one on longevity swaps, which is a new way pension investors are hedging risks. Thought you might like it.

@Niklas – The number of people in The City who tell you they’re miserable and want to get out is incredible. I’m sure some are very happy, but the majority seem to find it a slog until their mid-30s. If they’re still standing then, work eases up in comparison to the rewards that soar so it’s crazy to leave, and then another decade goes. Then again, a lot of people are miserable at work – at least you’re paid for it in the City. Then again *again* these are often people who could do almost anything – it’s hardly Morgan Stanley or McDonalds.

@DavidMBSBriefs – Your welcome, an interesting angle on your site you have there.

@Sam – Well, to be fair to the Greeks it was US-driven low yields that tempted their life-loving Southern European hearts to go on a wild borrowing spree. But this was always going to happen to the Euro sooner or later. It’s political unity or bust really. May blog about this, this week.

@Evan – It’s all good fun, right?
