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
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
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
It all depends. Amica would not give me an umbrella policy because I have jet skis. Cincinnati did, but limits are high. My motorcycles are insured with someone else but the limits are high there also. I had to send Cincinnati a copy of my motorcycle policy.
Second that. Also a one piece has less places to leak. Replace shut off valve if it looks beat up or has deposits on it. Plastic the floor if removing toilet, or but old toilet in contractor bag before going thru your house with it
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.
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
I agree, go out as long as you can. Rates may go up a little, but could go down a lot. I also have CD and MYGA ladder going out 10 years. Not the most exciting was to invest, but keeps the stress level down
That's pretty much what I am doing. Adding a couple of MYGA's along the way to help defer taxes. Nice to see my average get to 4.5. Old CD's maturing in 2023 and renewed at a higher rate added almost 10k to my yearly fixed income amount.
You sound like me. I’m 58 and I run WD plans thru 90 or longer. It keeps me up at night. But dad died at 86. And wasn’t great the last 5 years. What the heck am I thinking anyways!
