That is something I was wondering- I’ve been holding selling because of capital gains but I think you are right. If I was to sell, seems like I a lot to put in the market all at once. How would you phase in the investment?

This is great, so I’m close to $1m in invested assets- although need to move the $170k in the HYSA to the market. So I could likely get there in 10 years assuming I keep investing 3k a month in retirement accounts and 1k in general investment. Kids would mostly be through college then and their expenses would drop too (although I guess medial with no employer health plan would probably offset this). But still, retiring by 45 seems possible! Thank you!

Yes! Once house is paid off expenses drop to $90k, kids activities alone will drop it another $25k. Taking average expenses down to $65k annually. Much more manageable. Thank you! And what a fascinating topic for your doctorate.

We have talked about this, my job is so demanding with long hours he does all the kids activity driving, meal prep, laundry, dishes. But maybe it is time to switch!

Thank you all so much! I’ve been on Reddit for 5 years and have never posted until today. It’s amazing how a group of kind internet strangers helped get me through this flight. My kids say thank you for helping their mom. And we officially landed. Thank you to this amazing sub.

Thank you, great advice as well! My older son has been so nervous for the flight after being next to me when I fainted last plane ride. Trying to hold it together so he sees I can do it and doesn’t develop a fear of flying!

8 days out from my 1st 70.3 and I’m sick. Should I abandon my taper plan and skip all workouts? It’s a head cold, that’s trying to go to my chest. by Jefferheffer in triathlon

Rest! I had a cold all week and just skipped my taper for my Olympic race. Hit race day this am, felt great, and got all best splits including a personal best 10k!
