We grow our own, always have. We B&H. We started buying stocks in 1975. We held, held and held some more. Through ups and downs. Never sold until after retirement when we started taking out small amounts to supplement a pension and SS. Our very hard work through the years and our buy and hold...

Thank you all for your kind words. Someone wrote that it was like waiting on Christmas to arrive. That is exactly how I feel. Take care!

25 days to go. After 35 years of full time work I have only 25 days to go before I retire. I'm not exactly retiring early - I'm 64 and my wife is 63. Also, we are not exactly wealthy but we have been saving for retirement since we were married, a little each month, every month for more than 43...

I spend 1 hour at the end of month each putting together our financial report for my wife and I to review. I might buy a WSJ several times a week. On occasion, I check in with this forum and the Bogle forum. I have been a Buy and Hold type of guy for the last 40 years. In general, I feel that...

Not Me I've worked for a major international oil company for the last 35 years (one the largest in the world). Since the age of 45 I've gotten a raise nearly every two years and several promotions; my salary has increased more than 120% since the age of 45. Several months ago, at the age of...

4 years cash. I started saving for retirement in 1982. It's been a roller coaster for 32 years. I never sold but I always did had cash on hand and still do. Having buffer of cash gave me the courage to look away (and pickup a nice bottle of red) when the market got ugly. Just look away.

No allowance. We live on $12,000/month and buy whatever is needed. Out of that I spend about $1,000 a month on my hobby (fine art photography).
