• I lost my best friend just under 2 years ago. Consequently, he was also my step dad since I was 13. We did a lot together including vacationing, baseball games, and working together. What I did not realize is the void that I would have not having a best friend.

• I am within 5 years of retirement. I just bought my first bonds which are in Vanguard 2030 Target fund. I do have 3 years expenses in money markets. I really am not sure if I will keep the Target fund or any bonds as I view bonds as debt of a company and I am not a fan of debt ( even if it’s not mine). Stocks have done me well in my life and I feel like a proud owner owning stocks vs owning bonds.

• Makes sense Craig. I too keep looking for that big find in a single stock only to be let down. Thankfully, 30 years of consistent dollar cost averaging investing, I have choices on working because I want to vs have to. Appreciate all the knowledge I’ve gained from your Retirebeforedad site.
