Same as me. I follow CD rates and weather. Don’t follow politics until about 2 weeks before election. For me following most politics is like studying a menu a year before going to a restaurant. And news about the field that I make my living in

That is really a good price, I have 3M with CinFin and it’s about $750

I have been conservative also. Now what to do with it?? Always been a saver, hard to change. Can only have so much stuff and traveling all the time isn’t for me

I never count the house, real cash sitting in safe, silver, HSA account, or money in my fun account.

I do that almost every year . For part of my taxes. Started a savings account this year for 24 taxes

In Costa Rica right now looking at homes in Playas Del Coco area right now. There is a place Pacifico we looked at yesterday. Crazy nice houses, $800k to about 3M. Wife and I are going to talk about it when we get back. Looks great here but I could see costs and crime going up in near future

About 75% in CD’s. 10% in individual Muni Bonds. 10% in MYGA’s . Rest in a couple of mutual funds and individual stock. 90% of total in non retirement accounts. Could I have a better AA? Probably so, was just too busy to pay much attention. Slow and steady.

Have to agree with that. Have a friend who was a pitching coach in the 90’s for a MLB team, it’s always a topic of discussion

Just hit 11M in investable assets. Very little in market. I guess that may mean I have almost 11M in savings. Been a long ride and am getting tired of trying to get ahead. There are worst hobbies. Thanks for all of the advice along the way. Happy Holidays

5.25. For ten years. Looking longer term, and a decent fixed income rate. Plus able to draw some out per year if needed. They also have 7 yr for 5.55. 100k invested
