How much money is enough to retire? Assume trader doesn't own his home and has a family of 4. What's a minimum yearly income to live comfortably--ie take trips whenever one wants, pay for private school for 2 kids,etc.

Gee, the Cantor Viewpoint pays Kudlow for his opinion. How did this guy every get back on the street after his cocaine, liquor, and prostitute addictions? Well, I guess the answer is that he offered some to top Wall Street officials.

I think the % is fairly accurate. In any case, I have made $6 mill in 7.5 years. I am therefore offering my 30-minute training program for only $100,000, which includes info on how to manage your millions. Takers? Geez you guys are so negative. I GUARANTEE I can make a millionaire out...
