Jim & Alice

Timely article, ed ed. Thanks for sharing. Currently, I do not make scheduled withdrawals from our funds, but I do make 'occasional' withdrawals that won't add up to more than 3% annual, usually for specific purchases. We're in our early 60's, and this is a tough one to call. Good time to be conservative in budgeting. Jim

Yep, We both wish we could be out there too... Be sure and have some good 'stories' that can be shared when we get together again. Grandchild is due in early January, and then when we can pull ourselves away (February?)... we'll be heading for Arizona for sure. I've already told Alice the tears have to 'stop' by the time we get thru Chicago. Jim

Don't forget yer friends when you become rich. :-) Jim

Good folks, you guys be, Tom & Dianne. Give our best to Southern California... Salton Sea... and hopefully Sunshine & warm. Jim & Alice

Yep. According to my Financial Advosor... we should be out of stocks. And with his half of the family treasury, we are. On my half, I am still sitting in MM funds... Watching & Waiting for 'something'. Interesting times we live in! Jim

Hmmm... at those numbers, I would say you are doing pretty well. Congrats! Jim
