    • You are quite amazing to not only be willing to share your journey with us, but also value writing as one of the final ways you can continue to make a “small difference in the world.” May you be granted many, many more days on this planet to make a small difference in each one, and to experience life and the love of family to the fullest in every single one.

    • Do you mind me asking which company and plan you are on?

    • Great article, Dennis. You’ve given me a lot to think about, that I hadn’t even considered before.

    • When are you going to let the HD community know how we can give back to you for what you’ve given us? You turned off the ability to donate, and it sounds like you may not need the money much yourself anyway. But surely there’s something you can let those who want to contribute, just as our way to express our admiration and appreciation for you. Anything you care to share?

    • Bogleheads Conference 2024 featured Dr. Carolyn McClanahan, MD and CFP, addressing the topic When Should a DIY Investor Quit DIYing? I found her analysis and plan very helpful.

    • I switched brokerage accounts once for a $10,000 Citibank bonus, which was enough hassle to last a lifetime (but not nearly as entertaining as your experience). I’m not going through that again for less than $1,000 — bare minimum.

    • Not really sure of your argument or what point you are really trying to make, but it seems to me you may be conflating net worth with potential legacy assets — which is why you don’t count anything that may go down in value as it’s used for income in retirement. Set me straight if I missed the point here, because I’m not quite sure what it is!
