A gift basket!

[trapperjohn]

I was just pleasantly surprised. During a conversation I had late last week with my Vanguard Flagship rep, I mentioned that I had officially retired the previous week.

Yesterday, I received a lovely gift basket from giftbaskets.com with fruit, chocolates, nuts, gourmet popcorn, and cookies. The note that accompanied the basket was from that Vanguard rep congratulating me on my retirement.

A very pleasant surprise!

Now we know what Vanguard is doing with the money they are saving by no longer giving away TurboTax free...

Oh sure. Now let's see if you get sent a yearly birthday card like Edward Jones does.

Congrats on your retirement. Nice to be acknowledged for your success.

When DW retired, our Schwab rep sent a her gift basket, too.

FYI, Schwab sends two bottles of wine along with the snacks. I guess I'll keep them at least until I retire. (We also have Vanguard and Fidelity.)

I was thinking the exact same thing.

Yes, I am so glad I read all the posts, before responding. I never want to be the guy who always posts an "original thought" that has been mentioned several times already.

I never worry about that, never having had an original thought in my life.

It does seem there are tiny hints of Vanguard slipping over to the dark side......
