That's awesome. I have no pension but hope work will give me a package with some medical benefits in about 4+ years. That will make it much easier to pull the trigger.

In your initial post 2 months ago, didn't you have 2.7m in pre and post tax all in and 2 months later you have 4m in pre and post.
What investments did you have to enable a 1.3m gain in just 2 months?
Just curious...

See my post #18. Too many toxic people posting toxic posts and PMs.
Life's too short to be surrounded by that type of people.

Since he's still posting, it appears to be a very long goodbye...

A ~50% gain in 2 months is nothing short of magical.

Well he appears to be saying that his first reference was an individual balance, but his follow up post included his wife's accounts.
Thus we can't calculate what the gains were.
Nevertheless......

And life is too short to be offended by SGOTI. We have all been there (well, I know I have). There is a lot of wisdom here, and a lot of BS.
Take a break if it helps, but leave the door open.

Dealing with Troublesome Users
Can I block posts, emails and messages from specific users?
If there are particular members that bother you and you do not want to see their posts or receive Private Messages and Emails from them, then you can add these members to your 'Ignore List'. There are several ways to do this:
Through your User Control Panel: User CP, Settings & Options, Edit Ignore List. Then, type their name into the empty text box and click 'Okay'.
What if I see something offensive?
You will find 'Report' links in many places throughout the board. These links allow you to alert the board staff to anything which you find to be offensive, objectionable or illegal.

It may seem like you're surrounded but it is just a minority who have never been wrong.
Congratulations on the great offer.
