The Family Fund

We do Things a little different

Quattrone’s Featured in The Globe and Mail

Globe and Mail Story

Check out a feature that The Globe and Mail ran on our family just prior to Christmas.  The story is mostly accurate except I am not the eldest child, and my profession is not Portfolio Manager of the Family Fund.

Other than that it is pretty spot on.  It’s tough reading all of the comments about it.  I think some people just miss the point.  We’re not trying to belittle the spirit of Christmas by not exchanging gifts, we’re trying to enrich the spirtit of Christmas by doing something together, as a family.

There were many other very positive notes left on the story and we’re very grateful that a lot of people get the idea.

Merry Christmas to all!!!

I read the the Globe and Mail article and thought it was a great idea. So thanks to some fortunate stock selection and Sirius you’re off to Italy in 2010. Can’t think a better family present.

I agree with Scott, this is an amazing idea that can go a much longer way to happiness while moving away from needless consumerism.

Congrats on getting featured in the Globe and Mail – I hope more people will take notice and make smarter choices! Put down the credit cards and make your money work for you!

Have a great trip in 2010!
