@33export,
Thank you, but I don't react to short term investments. Our funds have gained for YTD 8.7%.
I withdraw a minimum of $24,000 ($2k/mo) every year, and my balance remains the same. In addition to my social security, I live a very comfortable life. No mortgage and no car payments. My car, a 2006 Acura, has only about 50,000 miles on it. I now drive less than 3k miles/year. My wife adds more mileage every year, because she drives almost every day.
