Sorry to hear of your difficulty with Vanguard.
I've had Vanguard accounts, my wife and my own, including RMDs for decades. At 80 yrs old im finding negotiating the Vanguard site easier and more efficient than ever. Large fonts, Yipee!
Sometimes when things just aren't falling in place, take a break and reboot. Retirement affords us that pleasure.
Wearing Casio watches, driving Toyota work trucks and sedans for many decades have proven not only benefical for our peace of mind, but our paid in full retirement in Hawaii. Where by the way, Japanese autos far out number Eupropean versions.
Pleased you received the help you needed Dennis.
As one older than you, I've learned to play it forward whenever possible, including phone operators, who aren't or just can't be helpful for what ever the reason. We must remember today's world is nothing like we may have imagined. Civility seems to be at a premium. We're short timers, so make the best of it for our children and family's sake.
PS. I look forward to my morning "paper" too.I've been a subscriber to the LA Times over 50 years. The last 7 via the internet. Took awhile to get use to, but liked the price savings. Aloha
I've been driving since my 16th Bday, 1961.
From various sized trucks, tractors, muscle cars of the 60's and dozens of vehicles in between.
A few tickets in my younger days, but never at fault in a wreck. These days as much as I love the freedom of driving, it's not enjoyable with the hustle bustle of so much traffic combined with the many law offenders and flat idiotic and discourtesy drivers.
Note. My conclusion to avoid the in harms way of shopping parking lots is simple.
Get to the empty back of the lot asap, park and do yourself a favor, a couple actually. Avoid the stress of looking for a parking spot and the exercise of walking while breathing deeply with a smile.
PS.
Don't forget the extra steps to return the shopping cart, thankful your able.
I'm old Irishman with tears on me eyes as I type this note.
Only been a reader of your fine site for a couple years, but learned enough to immediately go to Amazon to find your least expensive used edition of "25 myths".
God's speed and love.
Thank you.
Couldn't agree more.
I'm just lucky.
I realized early in life I couldn't function in a cluttered or messy inviroment, likely an inherited trait of my parents, it sure proved useful being self employed.

The same thing Peter Sellers said in the movie Being There, as an advisor to the President.
