Jonathan, Another home run article, this one with bases loaded. Can I get clarification #3? Is it own both Total US stock market + VT? If that is the case, since VT is 2/3 the US does not that dilute the internal portion? Thank you again, your truly a gifted person whose shares so well there gifts.
Someone asked the great financier J.P. Morgan what the stockmarket was going to do, he replied "fluctuated". Also, I don't recall the source, said: "You make most of your money in a bear market, you just don't realize it."
I love going to Thrift stores for books, dvds, and clothes. Yet, some are better priced then others. Those are the ones I haunt, at this point in my life I can afford to be super choosy what I buy, because I suffer from an embarrassed of riches from the above. Which leads me to an interesting story. A few days I went shopping at my local LL Bean store and has sticker shock, what was worse was I had 2 gift cards, so it was even my money. I left empty handed. Good thing I did as the next day in my email was a 10% off that and feeling less guilty about buying new I went back and purchased the item I have had eye on for years.
Easy, keep investing. There is a story on a young boy asking the great financiier JP Morgan what the market was going to do. His reply:"fluctuate, my dear boy.'
I am driving a 2010 Honda Pilot at 122k miles. Some rust is appearing here and there, but runs pretty good. Expecting at least least another 7 or 8 years out of it. As well as my '07 Camry with 77k, will need new tires and a radiator next month. Still cheaper than a car payment and higher insurance.

Remember to use time wisely. Once spent it's gone forever. Unlike money, which can be earned again.

Without hesitation the Tintern Abbey part of the Wye River Valley in Wales. Visited it in summer of 2010. Absolutely beautiful.

Has anyone purchased a vehicle through Costco's auto program? If so how did it work and what was the experience?
