Next stop S&P 3500_3600
I think we are going to ride between 3500 to 4000 for next year possibly longer
 
Closing on our first rental property next week. Market sucks for buying right now....but no better way i can find right now to have idle money generate profits right now. Ride out the downs and ups of the real estate market for 10-15 years and hopefully sell for a profit. Profit during and at the end. Wish I would have started earlier, but at least now I'm taking control over money just losing value.

Before someone says it...it is certainly not without its cons...

Darn right. My poor office manager has the tenant from hell. And here in IL, she couldn't get rid of her due to covid BS.
 
Even with today's 1% drop, I'm still up 7.7% since the low point from back in October. In it for the long haul. That is, until I can't stand it anymore and just flat-out retire.
 
Producer inflation was expected to be .4, but came in at .7. This is going to back the fed into a corner and force them to be more aggressive on raising interest rates.
Hope this helps
Yup, fear of a rate rise again. Watching this play out over the past 6~ months has been interesting. I refused to look yesterday as well. And I am still not selling, may buy a little more.

I met with my UBS Advisor last week. My probability of retiring at 62 with my current lifestyle went from 99% to 82%. That's including the boat, boat slip, my country club membership, the addition we are having done this year, though; things he never knew about prior :) I figured it was time to make sure. I know, first world problems.

Not sure when you planed on taking social security but have your advisior run the numbers again delaying your retirement to 62 and 1/2. You would be amazed at how not digging in to your funds for an additional 6 months and contributing to them for that same six months while delaying taking SS 6 months does to that equation. I'll bet your 82 jumps to about 95%.

Thats the easy part. I have been on hold HOURS a day trying to get setup with Medicare, Part A B C D. Its a fkn nightmare!!!
And that dont count Parts G and N.
Good luck. I am ready to go back to work with company health insurance.
“We cover your doctor. Call doctor. Nope we dont take that.” Spend another 3 hours on phone. “Try Humana or AARP”. “Yes, we do dental but not prescription, you need a separate plan for that”.
You think i kidding? Good luck. Your country club dues and boat fuel bill is pittance compared to what youll be paying.
Dead Fn serious!

My own opinion is the fed has just gotten us back to "normal" -- 4% CD rates, 6-7% mortgage rates. That's solid and "fair" for both borrowers and savers. Attacking inflation requires a move up from here.

If you're in good health work until 67, make bank, draw max SS, give it your best shot. Figure you'll need as much in retirement as you need when you work, and cross your fingers.;)
 
Agreed, I won't stop working at 62, never planned to, just nice to think about as an option. And good health so far.

@Pirate Lady your medical insurance comments are concerning, it's not new to me, been dealing with it for a while with my mom who's 84. It's definitely not what most people think it is that's for sure. It's another one of those government things I would pay to not have to contribute to and keep the money for myself.
 
Got my butt handed to me today day trading...lol. Got caught in the chop. Will get it back in the next few days...hopefully...lol
