I like your confidence. I'm not planning on making any changes. If I was needing this account toward retirement, I am sure I would have invested more safely. Or maybe pulled all my hair out. lol! Seven years after retiring, and SS eligible in almost exactly one year, it is much easier to "plan" for the future. The wife worked longer than I had planned, and the government wants to help me with healthcare. We have not spent down nearly what I originally planned. Sometimes things do work out. With the wife's pension and both our SS, we will not be making more money than we ever made, but more than we have ever spent in a year. When something happens to one of us, this account could make up for the wife's SS, allowing the survivor to keep on keeping on without financial worries. It is not as good a feeling as first becoming debt free, but good all the same. Does anyone else know Brice Johnson had 39 points and 22 rebounds last night? Go Heels!
