TIPS for longer term, CD's for Shorter duration, cash for a year.

-1. I like the fast stuff. Also don't miss someone picking up the phone and crashing my connection. Also, surrendered our landline phone around 2004 - only used by telemarketers calling at dinner time. Besides, boobs took forever to load. ;D

Fed deep fried sheep testicles to my SIL decades ago. Told her they were popcorn shrimp. Grudge remains firmly in place.

Not sure how anchored you are to your location, or the tax status there. We recently moved from a somewhat tax friendly state to a very tax friendly state (for both 62 YO and military retirees). We fit both criteria, so moving was akin to a substantial pay raise. There are numerous threads here...

Just my $.02. I received a buyout in 1992 that pays annually for 28 years (yup, about to run out of gas).:frown: Even with the modest inflation of the past 3 decades, the funds have approximately 50% of the buying power they originally did. While inflation is modest now, who knows down the...

+1. We bought a tent style that you poke your head out of on Amazon for ~$100 to see if we would use it. We do, so our upgrade is exactly like your photo - 2 people capacity & 115 VAC. The tent style looks incredibly goofy. But, if one can get past that, it does what you want a sauna to do...

None of these should harm your exit plan or time. My $.02 is: None of us (except a few brave souls) are travelling much by air. So, just park that travel money in a bucket and use that for any hike in itnl air (which I highly doubt for the foreseeable future). Yeah, many here are bummed out...

Paywall...

We have rented 2 BR (pet friendly) ocean front condos at MB for ~$1200/month. Weather is as PB described, mostly pleasant with a few cold snaps. Numerous flags from Canada and many northern states hang from the balconies. We vacay there not for the weather, but to stay at a huge, uncrowded...

That's 7 votes to hit the exit. Go now! Have fun!

Glad that you escaped. Sad for the residents of Venezuela. Hoping the best for your relatives stuck there. It's so ugly.

And you're predicting the market will cease to be volatile and uncertain exactly when? ??? With that mindset, perhaps an FA is in you're best interest.

Our peke gets boiled eggs for a treat. One egg = 4 treats in the day.

+1. With 2 pensions and 2 SS streams, we were golden.
