decided to go commercial. Peets decided to go quality, but they're hard to
find.

The whole thing is bogus, Frank. It's an investment site, the point
being that one is going to need a far larger nest egg if he is planning
to see his 90s.


Why? This country has a whole wave of people planning to enter retirement
while their net worth is in the red. Why bother to start saving now? And
if you start with less than nothing, what difference will it make how long
you'll have to "make it" on your savings?

You neoconservatives obviously know nothing at all about finance.

Right. But if that's the case how does one explain that I can retire today,
draw greater than my current income and never touch the principle, even if
interest rates plunge?

Get a grip, Doug. Where in my statement (the one you quoted) did I intimate
that investing for one's future is a bad idea? Let me help you--I didn't.
I only implied that the life expectancies were seriously exaggerated to be
utilized as a sales tool in order to convince someone with a realistic life
expectancy of 78 that he's going to live to be 95 and therefore needs a much
larger nest egg. Obviously the larger the nest egg the better, but to
fallaciously inflate life expectancies in order to sell something is bogus.

May I inquire as to where you got it?

I have a great source for that and a large number of other excellent
coffees, both regular and organic, if you're interested.

My cousin's son has two coffee houses in MN--college towns--where he roasts
his own special varietals and blends. He has both organic and whatever
isn't considered organic, with no price difference. His coffees are the
best I've ever had. He learned his trade in Seattle, home of some of the
world's best coffee. They have a website which I'll email you, if
interested.

Don't be too impressed by "organic" coffee. Most of it comes from
Peru, where they decided to focus on organic. It takes three years
and a lot of money and paperwork for a small farm to become certified,
regardless of whether they have been organic for years. On the other
hand, a large corporation and clear cut virgin rainforest and be
instantly certified. Thus, when you buy "organic" you are actually
supporting rain forest deforestation by bug business!

As for price, the Peruvian organic is as cheap as "regular" coffee,
and is much cheaper than the higher quality beans from the best
specialty farms. Thus, if you pay more for organic, you're probably
being had. BTW, if you doubt this, just taste test Trader Joe's
organic vs a small quality roaster's offerings. Or just note that in
Whole Foods they always offer "organic blend" which is mostly cheap
Peruvian.
