re: Anyone retire early early?

Posted by 98eagle on 5/12/24 at 7:43 pm
I retired early 5 years ago. My wife retired super early 10 years before me. We love every minute of it. She was working herself way too hard with her successful business while my corporate job was super stressful for a long time with lots of free overtime and zero appreciation by my bosses. I fe...
I agree. I deserve all of the down votes I can get for my poor judgement. Having no diversification at all is actually really bad advice....
[quote]Bitcoin and investment are contradictory in the same sentence[/quote] I respect your opinion, and a lot of people feel the same way as you do. I've been a believer in Bitcoin since 2016. I'm not sure what to call it if it not an investment. Maybe "massive money maker for those who ...
[quote]Dude[/quote] Glad I made you laugh! Seriously, go check out BITO if you like Bitcoin as an investment. They could only put a much smaller amount in it if they decided they want to try it. I'm making a killing on it. BITO is one of ProShares ETFs, so it's legit. ProShares has 144 ET...
This is what I would do if I just retired with $1.2 Million, Obviously there are risks so this is not investment advice. Do your own research. Put $1 Million in BITO and $200K in cash. That's about 40,000 shares of BITO. BITO's monthly dividend might pay $1 or more per share per month. Th...

I'm considering a Weber Kettle also. Do steaks, chickens, burgers, sausage and ribs taste better on it than on a good pellet grill? I'm also considering the new Weber Searwood Pellet Grill, but it costs several times more. It seems like a heavy solid grill, easy to use and clean, will sear meats,...

I retired early 5 years ago and am still under SS eligibility age. We have no income except for passive (interest and investment) income. For the past 3 tax years I've been aggressively rolling over Traditional IRA to Roth staying under the tax bracket I wanted to stay under. This makes the 4th a...

My mom died a long time ago. However, whether the clock were turned back or she were still alive today, if I had a chance to save her from dying, I would do it, even if I died trying. I couldn't live with myself if I just stood there and watched her get killed when I could have stopped it....

The largest wealth manager in the world is the Bank of New York Mellon. They just disclosed in an SEC filing that they have bought a small amount of two of the Bitcoin Spot ETFs in several purchases. If you thought BlackRock had the largest assets under management (AUM) with $10 trillion AUM, it is...
