Another good site is NCG, they are a grading service and they have prices and pictures of different grades and what to look for.

We always purchased the full coverage from the car rental place, it covers everything if there is an accident. If you get the basic coverage there could be out of pocket expenses such as deductibles and anything that is not covered in the basic plan. It costs more, but I felt better that...

Here are some of the place we saw on our trips to Ireland: Picked up a one day bus trip out of Dublin to New Grange and Hill of Tara. Stayed in Dublin near Trinity College saw Book of Kells, Dublin castle, St Patrick's church and Christ Church. Headed south to Powers Court and Powers Court...

We live in WI, no State taxes on military retirements or SS. If you have 100% rating on disability property taxes are refund when you file income tax and they have a lot of state GI Bill benefits as well. Great hospital in Milwaukee.

Great questions, it made me think, DW and I have full coverage though the VA with prescriptions covered too, Tricare (TCFL@65) (covers co-pay), and FEHB (BCBS +1) with Vison/Dental. Do we need to sign up for Medicare and pay the premiums since all of our medical is covered. I understand if we...

Both were still working and we have never sold into a dip since we started to invest in 1988, we kept on buying, saw a lot of losses, but they have all recovered higher then in dot.com bust and 2008. No panic and no sleepless nights.

So the basic question was, if you have twice the income (pensions and SS) to cover ALL your expenses (including med, dental, vision, life insurance, etc.). And no need to withdraw money from investments, what would your AA thoughts be with investments over $1M, still adding to it too. My self...

Current AA is 85%Eq/13%FI/2%Cash; I really want to know if we are to heavy in Equites and Fixed Income. We really don't need the growth since all of our expenses are covered by pensions.

Thank you for the feedback.

103k is pensions.

Here is the situation(both retired, no kids) Expenses 83K/yr; Expenses include all, but travel Current retirement income 103K/COLA adjusted each year Additional income: SS/both and two additional pensions totaling 60k/yr within 5 yrs Current AA is 85%Eq/13%FI/2%Cash Is our AA right for us...

OK on that, but where would the SWR ($617k) from 55 to 70 come from? That would also have to be deducted from the $1,025,960 leaving ~$400k @ 70.

Where is the SS Bridge money coming from? IF the money is coming from investments along with SWR monies that calculates to ~$1.4mm from investment total leaving about $400k left.

I have been watching this too, there was an outcry to the Ireland government over the changes they made in 2015 that added the income requirements and other stuff. A petition was signed and sent in they also took comments from the public on the issue and are expected to change some stuff later...

We have ordered a 2008 Mini, a 1982, 2010, and 2014 Camaro, and 2002 BMW. The wait is the worst, but you get what you want. I paid less than MSRP on all of them, only dealer cost I paid was prep and delivery, no mark up on cost.
