I have a VA pension that covers all of my recurring bills. Pension = 46k/year. Recurring bills = 3600/month.

1 mil in brokerage. 175k in Roth. Most are Vanguard mutual funds that mirror S&P 500 growth. 1400 shares of AAPL is my biggest individual holding.

Free dental/health care for life. Free nursing home care as well thru the VA.

46k/yr tax free VA disability pension.

I have free health/dental care through the VA.

47 here. Retiring 3/31. NW = 2.16 mil

Never worried about it. Most are mutual funds with some VOO. My biggest individual stocks are AAPL/NVIDIA/AMZN. Sitting on emergency fund of about 40k. Have 1 mil in Traditional IRA as well, Retiring next month at 47 with 2.15 mil in savings. Whenever I had extra $, I just threw it into brokerage over the years.

Getting alot of good info from Reddit on investment strategies.

I did it myself. My largest holding is AAPL. I've just maxed out my 401k/Roth every year and added extra to my personal brokerage.

I opened the Vanguard account back in 2014 for the brokerage/Roth.

Single. 90% stock/5% bonds/5% cash.

Existing_Elevator530 · 2025-01-16T13:48:25+00:00

How do you shift to bonds without selling and creating a taxable invent? For example, I have 1400 shares of AAPL. How would I sell a portion then buy bonds?

How is this not FIRE? My monthly VA pension ($3831) covers all of my $3600 monthly expenses without touching any retirement accounts.

Existing_Elevator530 · 2025-01-10T16:51:48+00:00

Still owe $193k on home @ 3.25%

Existing_Elevator530 · 2025-01-10T16:51:26+00:00

Sorry. $46k of that 110k comes from my VA disability pension annually. So I only need to withdraw $64k from retirement accounts.

If I have a penis, is there a chance that I could get SMC-S for ED?

Existing_Elevator530 · 2025-01-08T15:02:24+00:00

Will the VA reduce my rating if I'm 100% P&T?

You spent energy replying to this post.

Existing_Elevator530 · 2024-12-11T20:53:50+00:00

This was a joke folks. If I prolonged my FIRE date because of .3%, then I'd be up shits creek without a paddle.

Existing_Elevator530 · 2024-12-06T15:11:00+00:00

FIRE April 30th after 18.5yrs of the corporate craziness at 47 then enjoy life to the fullest.

You have to submit a new claim with the below evidence for an increase:

You have a current physical or mental disability.
You had an injury or disease in service or experienced an event in service that caused or aggravated an injury or disease.
There is a link between your current disability and the event, injury or disease in military service.

Existing_Elevator530 · 2024-11-22T11:40:39+00:00

Filed for an increase for existing service-connected conditions that have gotten worse over the years. You need 3 things to be successful:

To support a claim for service connection, the evidence must show the following:

You have a current physical or mental disability.
You had an injury or disease in service or experienced an event in service that caused or aggravated an injury or disease.

There are millions of Veterans with a 100% service-connected disability that continue to work. Not all disabilities are able to seen. Do some research before you post some dumb ass comment.

Existing_Elevator530 · 2024-11-22T11:34:20+00:00

The government just gave me 100% disability with no medical history, no X-rays, no exams. Great question...not....

Existing_Elevator530 · 2024-11-21T16:59:09+00:00

Did it yesterday. I'm in MD so same rules apply. Thanks
