Retirement investment options and expected return
Posted by ShermanTxTiger on 5/10/24 at 12:42 pm
I am about to retire and wonder if anyone here has crossed over that beautiful bridge. If so, what does your portfolio look like? Annuities? (Not a personal fan of annuities) What is the expected rate of return on investments?

The units aren't loud but I have heard quieter.
I am a fan of Lennox so far. I have had Carrier and really liked it. I will never ever,...

Unless we soil ourselves, we are getting in.
We have a favorable finish to the schedule. We dont have to win them all but we do need to win the ones we should win. No more sweeps allowed. That would be soiling ourselves....
