8. My allocation of my money is... ALL MY MONEY IS ALLOCATED AS MY MONEY

At 70 I am beyond trusting politicians to follow through on campaign dreams.

When I donate, to politicians who seem to share my interests, I donate small, expecting that if when things proabably go bad ( I am supporting someone who shares -my- much in the minority values after), I'll lose small.

I don't believe in supporting Sunk Costs. I won't give just to help someone I earlier gave a little.
