I wonder if anyone else is in my shoes and can give advice.
I am on track to retire around 2020. I've researched my options. I've made my plan and have implemented everything I can. I've got nearly everything automated, from my paycheck auto-deposited, to my 401(k) contribution automatically withheld, to my mortgage being automatically paid, automatic savings set up for my kids college funds and our rainy day fund at ING Direct, an Excel spreadsheet to monitor everything, assumptions made and documented, contingency plans in place, my will, durable health care, POA, etc. made up, and am working on a letter of instruction that is about half finished. Etc., etc., etc.
As most of you have noticed, it's January 2004, so now all I have to do is "turn the crank" for the next 16 years.
I'm bored with finances.
Suggestions / comments?
