Hi, folks!
I've been lurking about and reading some of the nice material here for a couple of months, as part of my pre-retirement due diligence. I've got to say that there is some very good information here, as well as some interesting characters.
I'm turning 54, and plan to retire in four months. I believe I've got all the financial bits lined up for my family. I've got a child in high school, one in college, and one launched on his own career. I'm currently a computer programmer ('they' call them software engineers), who's decided to 'think different' about how I spend my time now that I've hit FI.
I'm managing my own finances for retirement income, with a 60/40 stock/bind portfolio, stocks in the usual suspects (assorted Vanguard index funds), and state bond funds for at least the next year (til I'm in a lower bracket...)
This is going to be interesting...
