congrats!!

You're in great shape! Quit the corporate gig.

Yes, agreed re: bitcoin. I haven't purchased any in quite a long time. The coins I have I've held for a very long time. Not buying more at the moment. Also agree with you regarding the amount of liquid assets - I'm planning to spend quite a bit in the next few years and that makes me...

Yes, I'm looking into another job - maybe I'm just too cautious to completely cut the cord from new cash flowing into my coffers. And, I agree my car estimates are high. We've never owned luxury, or even new, vehicles. I'm estimating high car cost as I'm unsure about our eventual purchase...

Agreed, but, I needed some group support to actually take the plunge! Thanks!

The alternatives are not very liquid. Between 3 and 8 year cycles with most the gain seen when properties sell. I plan to harvest enough from the income this year to cover my taxes and reinvest the rest. I've seen some good returns - assuming no bad debt losses. I get your environment...

You've done well! Great advice.

Yes, I agree, my kids are trending towards some expensive schooling. I'm estimating private school cost, but even public option is roughly $30K/year.

Good links. Gumby has been a long-time font of wisdom. Also - great call with the loan advice, I intend to max those options.

I've been a long-time member here and have learned from, and taken action on, some of the advice I've gleaned from the many posts I've read here and other sites. I'm working in corporate America in an industry that has become morally repugnant to me. IMO, much of our economy is based on...

I am also looking for a new car and found the similar differential between new and used Hondas in MN/WI. If your set on a Honda, new seems best.

Really? Travelover, your joking, right? $250K - $350K is far more than most people on this site require per anum. Having a a more clear understanding of your expenses would be beneficial; 30% - 40% uncertainty is pretty significant.
