Luckily many years ago I came across some life changing books from John Bogles and others. Those books have shielded me from all the nonsense and fluff in the financial media.
Jonathan, remember there is the medically assisted help to end suffering option towardstheend. My dad took this efficient and compassionate route. Not sure where to go in America, but the Swiss have it. If you want to pursue it, don't wait until the last minute to investigate the process. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dignitas_(non-profit_organisation)
If I am retired and accessing ROTH to control income (re:ACA subsidies), shouldn't I keep a portion in short term bonds..say 3 yrs worth to ensure access when market is down? So I should be ROTH rebalancing correct?
It has been a year since my dad short circuited what could have been a life of suffering for him, mom and the rest of the family. This option was only available to those with a bad prognosis, but retain a clear mind. Once the mind starts to go, it will be hard to qualify. Looking back now, we see his assisted suicide as the bravest and most compassionate thing dad did for himself and all of us.

I'd rather pass on the Lambo-type advisor and go with a The Millionaire Next Door-type advisor.

yup. I am very skeptical of dreams and fantasies. They, like grass, look brighter further away.

this and next year might be the last opportunity to go big before the subsidy cliff disappears.
