I can't comment as to if I believe they are a good idea or a bad idea. But I do know, they are way over my "keep it simple" portfolio

I also think that we live in a social media generation. No one posts poverty, they only post positives. Richard, your example of those attending experiences such as the World Cup games, the NBA Championships games, also Taylor Swift concert ticket prices, etc are living in a world brainwashed into f.o.m.o. ((fear of missing out). I believe that most HD readers are financially successful because instead of suffering f.o.m.o. we've successfully navigated the difference between instant gratification and delayed gratification. We enjoy the fruits of our labor... and our savings when we actually can afford it.

As a former Toledoan I always look forward to your articles. On top of that when it's about Toledo it's even more interesting. And the fact that my son is a teacher at Whitmer High School in Toledo and actually teaches Financial Literacy. Makes me enjoy it even more. Thanks

No real concern here. Our current income from two SS accounts, one full pension, two smaller pensions provides much more than our expenses. We are about 70% Vanguard Total World (VT), 10% Vanguard Growth (VUG), 10% Vanguard Value (VTV), 10% Cash. . I used to fully fund our IRA the first of each year when we were working but now that we're retired (except a seasonal part time job) I fund our IRA on dips. Each one percent drop gets a $1000 investment
