Lyrical Tribute: “Drain of Funds”

Tips-Trends-Talk

Drain, drain, drain
Drain, drain, drain
Drain, drain, drain
Drain of Funds.

For ten long years,
I stashed cash and got vain
But as I found out, It was funds down the drain.

Drain, drain, drain
Drain, drain, drain
Drain, drain, drain
Drain of Funds.

Oh, I thought I was so clever
But I was financially slow.
Weak stocks and inflation never
Helped my net worth to grow.

Drain, drain, drain
Drain, drain, drain
Drain, drain, drain
Drain of Funds.

Every drain,
has got a bad enabler
But real estate investment
Makes my portfolio stabler.

Drain, drain, drain
Drain, drain, drain
Drain, drain, drain
Drain of Funds.

Mutual funds and money markets,
T-bills and muni bonds,
Can’t beat deeds and equity
And the cash flow I’m so fond
Of…

Drain, drain, drain
Drain, drain, drain
Drain, drain, drain
Drain of Funds.

Now that I’ve grown wiser
The drain has surely ended.
And I’m so much more assured
That my retirement is funded…

Drain, drain, drain
Drain, drain, drain
Drain, drain, drain
Drain of Funds…

Oh!

This is also a special dedication to my dancing and singing buddies who recently played this song and got my brain going in this direction…

My apologies to Ms. Aretha Franklin.
