    When flying was fun

    My first flying was in the 70s and I walked pretty much unmolested right to the gate and they showed me a seat chart with an outline of the fuselage with little peel off stickers with seat numbers. Everyone was super polite and orderly. Wonderful experience. Fast forward. I have flown 10-12...

    Retired recently and have a rolled over IRA, classic dilemma

    Just tried that and no luck. And oddly, in the OP, it didn't put the quote marks properly.

    Hmmmmm, something is going wrong with my posts. I had the above post in 3 paragraphs and a list and it came up as one paragraph.

    Retired recently and have a rolled over IRA, classic dilemma

    Thanks for the list of book and I will add those to my pile. I am reading Buckets right now, I have Grangaard and all of the Bogle and Bernstein books. I really like the Slott books, very good data in those. I originally almost just dumped everything in to form a simple low expense ration...

    Retired recently and have a rolled over IRA, classic dilemma

    Ahhh, perfect, thanks. I have articles on the benefits and drawbacks of each approach but had not seen the comparisons. I retired rather quickly and with no intent to do so just 4 months ago, so I have loads of planning that I originally thought would be about 5-6 years from now. Thanks...

Was interested in gaining some insight into dividends vs taking cap gains as...

    Retired recently and have a rolled over IRA, classic dilemma

    I've recently retired and just received "rollover money" into my traditional IRA from my 401k and from a lump sum pension. I now have the classic dilemma. It is a lot of money and is sitting in my Fidelity account as MM funds, earning nearly nothing. To me, the market seems like it should...

    Hey, I got lost for a bit due to decision making (no trade matrices) and just wanted to say thanks for all your welcomes. Sounds like a few fellow engineering types here.

    Tax consideration for taxable, IRA & SS revenue streams

    I read most of the PDF and found it interesting but unconvincing. I was a bit surprized that he indicated at 70 years old that the couple #2 could just "choose" how much to withdraw ($20,000) from the IRA and therefore wins. In reality wouldn't each couple would be forced to withdraw (as RMD...

    MegaCorp retiree, age 50

    Hi, all. Just a short introduction. I just retired from the aerospace business in El Segundo, CA. Business climate was starting to get depressed and rather than hang around and watch that I decided it was time. Because of LBYM behavior, I believe that I am in great shape financially in terms...
