| About Me |
|---|
| Medically retired. |
| Why I Joined |
|---|
| To keep track of my net worth. I don't include the value of my home ($475,000) because it doesn't generate income. |
| Best Financial Decision |
|---|
| Getting my degree when tuition was $184 a semester. I don't know how kids do it now. That college has become out-of-reach for so many is a national disgrace. |
| Worst Financial Decision |
|---|
| Not having had adequate life insurance on my late spouse. Sometimes you need to force those difficult discussions with unwilling family members. |
| Current Investing Strategy |
|---|
| Just hanging in there with plenty of cash/CDs and my Vanguard target retirement fund. Greatly relieved to have Ds in control of the government again! |
| How do you manage your finances? |
|---|
| I avoid debt and live below my means. Aside from the occasional home improvement project, I'm just naturally not much of a spender. |
| What tools do you use? |
|---|
| Quicken |
| Favorite Books |
|---|
| "Your Money or Your Life" by Vicki Robin and Joe Dominguez and "Investing in Four Hours" by Robert Bradley. |
