Mark loves to travel. At one point he decided that he would spend his whole life on it. He decided he was going to save up for a trip around the world. In order to do that, he decided that he needed to invest, so he wouldn't need money and wouldn't have to work, but could travel around the world. He worked for years and hardly spent any money, he wore his sneakers for more than five years. He invested quite successfully in stocks in the stock market all these years, and the dividends would be enough for him to explore the world freely. He was going to withdraw all the money on Tuesday, and buy the tickets and all the necessary withdrawals as early as Wednesday. It was October 19, 1987.
