>> .i have a plan for good market years and bad ones...my life style is not affected by market fluctuations...my net worth is but not my nice comfortable retirement lifestyle. You, sir, are in an enviable position, one that I aspire to. This is new territory for me, and I appreciate you sharing the wisdom you have acquired during your already lengthy retirement. Thus far I have determined a method for early withdrawal from my IRA without penalty, and taken the first year's equal distribution of the five to which I committed. I freed up cash for this process by replacing some of my Q holdings with DIM Q LEAPS, and also used that process to diversify into some other potential Gorillas. I have one year's salary in a money market account yielding 5% at Wells Fargo, and have paid off all debt with the exception of my home. Nancy and I feel secure at this point, and will use this year to help calibrate our future expectations. I hope you and other successfully retired investors, such as Cha2 and Malcolm, will continue to post your experiences and advice. It has been and will be most appreciated. uf
