Your 2 most valued activities out of 10 vs. weakness

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.

Very true.

But yeah, I'm having BIG trust issues with financial institutions these days, my next step is to take money out of savings in cash and put it in a safe deposit box.

1. Spending time with my husband and daughter.
2. Writing and talking bike advocacy.

I procrastinate...well, I don't procrastinate much actually. But I do spend too much time on facebook etc. I could better use my time on:
3. More exercise
4. Housework (inside & outside)
5. The work I get paid to do
