Hi everyone:
I am 45 years old with investable Vanguard assets of 1.3 million. My home is worth around 200k and paid off. Recently, had a financial review/plan with Vanguard and rebalanced to 60 stocks, 40 bonds. (Consolidated portfolio) .16 expense ratio average.
I am single, no kids, in good health, never married and recently lost my mother. She meant everything to me. She died somewhat suddenly @ the age of 81. I do have family nearby.
At the moment, I feel depressed. I work out of my house but have taken time off to grieve. The reality is, I never wanna work again. I was even feeling this way BEFORE her death.
I live a simple lifestyle with no vices. Not into extended travel, golf, fancy cars, etc...
Vanguard advised me to have all my future capital gains and dividends placed into my prime money market account. ( I wanna buy on the next big dip)
I feel more comfortable reaching out on this forum rather than discussing my situation to friends and family.
Firecalc says 90% success for my yearly spending with plenty leftover @ age 90. (I don't expect to go that far)
I am your typical guy. Sports, gym, stock market, food. Nothin' real fancy.
Just wanted to vent, I suppose. Comments are welcomed.
