Hello!
Having admired this community for many years, decided it was time to join. The wit and wisdom here have provided much entertainment and education for at least ten years. Thought it time to seek some of the latter regarding my situation. My husband and I are now sixty, and thinking of retiring, but an assessment is in order. Perhaps we (I) need reassurance that we have all of our 'ducks in a row'. Below is the current state of affairs -
√We own free and clear a home in Florida.
√We have three pensions between us that provide a total of just a bit over $10,000 per month.
√We have $2,600,000 in a variety of standard and preferred equities that pay about $8,000 per month in dividends.
√My health care premium is payed for by the government, as is vision & dental.
√Husband has two health care plans, one federal, one state government. Both payed for by his employer. His vision & dental are also covered by the government.
√We have no children.
√We are both in good health for our age.
√My life expectancy based on family history is about 82, my husbands would be about 95.
√We have no debt.
√Our monthly bills are about $1,700 per month. This includes HOA, cable, property tax, utilities, various insurances (home, car, umbrella), groceries, car tags, maintenance, gas. We pay nothing for insurance, but I have a co-pays that amount to less than $200 per year. My husband has co-pays that amount to less than $100 per year.
Look forward to your comments and assessment of our situation, and all suggestions are welcome.
