WRAP

1.  W = Widen Your Options
2.  R  = Reality Test Your Assumptions
3.  A. = Attain Distance Before Deciding
4.  P. = Prepare To Be Wrong

Great suggestions for decision making and success.
Already used it for 3 small personal decisions:
-  Purchase of a new microwave oven
-  Changes in cable TV service
-  Purchase of computer software.


Comments re two items in the book.
1.  Claim that investing in ETF's is much better than in mutual funds.
     I find the alternate to be true, no load mutual funds are equal or better.

2. Write always uses "she" or "her" when referring to a person.
    There are ways to avoid doing that in this day and age.
