    • Dennis, thanks for your open and honest piece. With regards putting spare funds back into stock market funds, is it worth considering dollar cost averaging over a period of time? That way you don't need to feel the pressure of getting your timing right. DCA might not be optimal, but it can take some pressure out of the situation. Good luck with whichever path you take.

    • I often hear it argued that the 4% (now 4.7%) rule is too simplistic, not optimal etc. But I really like the fact that Bengen's advice is based upon actual historical data, and has a rational basis. And it is sufficiently simple that basically everyone can consider it as part of their financial planning. This at least gives people a simple guide for their accumulation phase, and a starting point for the de-accumulation phase. A more complex and more sophisticated approach may well give a better technical result, but if the complexity overwhelms the "average Joe" then it is all for nothing.

    • Thanks Richard. Glad that you found such a good niche to move into later in your working life. Your suggestion about repairing broken businesses is an interesting one - food for thought!

    • Thanks Rick. I don't envy all the corporate turmoil you had to endure. I certainly hope that with a little time I can move into something that suits well.

    • Thanks Dan. We still live in the same small town, so hopeful that when I drive past the workshop will be bustling and prosperous.

    • Thanks Mark. I'm equally happy to work for myself or others, having done both in the past. If I did get back into business for myself, I would look for something run down that needed a spark of life again. Nothing around at the moment that fits the bill, so happy to work for wages again.
