Besa I’m not certain I understand what feedback you seek, exactly. I can confirm that I’m approaching the market slide same as you. I began DCA once the correction passed 20% and twice since as it continued to fall. I’ve never been out of the market, but I always maintain a decent cash position...

Yes, this is a good read. Nice day here in the Northeast, DH and I plan to go for a hike in the woods. We have a secluded spot where few others venture. Shouldn’t be much corona floating about there, right? On the other hand, our winter was mild so what about a tick infestation ??? No, really...

To all who have replied, thanks so much. Lots of good insight, especially around the health insurance situation. We also would like to consider rolling some tax deferred via Roth’s once we’re no longer working full time, but we’re worried about screwing up our eligibility for subsidies if we go...

Hello, been lurking and have decided to join in. Sometime in the next 6 months I hope to be quite active here; learning and sharing. Because it is within that timeframe that we hope to FIRE. I would appreciate feedback on our situation. We have used Firecalc, and ran various scenarios. The...
