Your 2 most valued activities out of 10 vs. weakness

[indysteel]

That made me smile, I'm a "stuff it in a coffee can in the basement" type investor.

I might become one of those. I just read a book about Bernie Madoff and, man oh man, my mattress is looking like a pretty attractive investment vehicle. Granted, lots of mutual funds aren't overly risky, but there are just too many choices. I need somebody to tell me what to do (and to be right about it). DH is just as bad--and his father is a certified financial planner. So, I do nothing but squirrel it away in my savings account. Of course, there are worse flaws. At least I'm not procrastinating on the savings part.
