Confused about dryer sheets
Hello all! Lots of folk in here well on their way...but nonetheless I can appreciate all the knowledge that comes with community. My details are slightly different then most I believe, but here they are. And thank you for your time and input.
I am contemplating staying in the Navy past 20 years which would increase my pension significantly, but as of now I am looking forward to punching out at my 20 mark and seeking civilian life. With my Wife and I's combined pensions we would be self-sufficient with around $47K a year to include cost of living adjustments for the rest of our lives. We intend on moving back to our first investment home in Florida when I leave the Navy as it is $1K a month out the door for our mortgage. Additionally, over the next 6 years or so to invest in our retirement at a rate of 20-30K a year. Upon retirement from the military I intend on seeking employment and using it to sustain our meager over head and dumping both of our military pensions into our taxable retirement account.
I have been stubborn in the placement of monies into IRA's and such because most of my family hasn't had much longevity past their 60's...so that being said. I want to dump a significant amount of money into our taxable accounts until 55 or so which when coupled with our military pensions...and the intention of keeping the 2nd investment property ($600 a month income).
Long winded but thank you for any feedback or just a welcome. Great forum.
