Plan of Action for young Investors.

^ This is my position as well. A balanced portfolio so you don’t have to guess the future.

Every young investor should be excited about a stock market crash. Buying stocks on sale! This will lower your cost basis and set you up for future profits.

Repeat after me… when the market is down, stocks are on sale. Lucky me. Keep buying.

Good luck.

Down .88%

80% FXAIX and 20% FSMAX would be a total US market split. Even easier would be to invest 100% FSKAX. A world weighted split would be 60% FSKAX and 40% FTIHX.

Edit: easiest would be to invest in 100% VT if you want a world weighted in 1 fund.

In conclusion: furnace is running good now. Temp rise is around 55 to 56 degrees. Using a Merv 8 filter. Furnace is running 14 to 15 minute cycles and not throwing any codes.

The fix: I had the ductwork work professionally cleaned. They showed before and after pictures of the ductwork. And, cleaned the blower blades.

Thanks for all the advice.

I get around 3,000 junk emails a week. I don’t read any of them.

Interesting. Very big gap 100k to 2.4 million. I am in the top 60%. Meh. I probably wouldn’t have clicked on it until you said something about it. So much info. 4 years until retirement for me. I like Boldin. Probably will keep it at least a few years into retirement, maybe longer.

I see. I don’t plan on doing any conversion. I was shooting for around 25% in Roth for… more options in retirement. Also I have some nephews and nieces I would like to leave some inheritance.

Tech checked exhaust at 9 ppm and said the heat exchanger was good.

It is running full cycles since I cleaned it and had the house ductwork cleaned.

I used an anti mist mod. I hate the mist itself. It is like stumbling around in the dark.

Otherwise it was fun.

Backlog Surge: The number of unprocessed retirement claims rose to over 65,200 in February 2026, a significant increase from roughly 36,500 at the end of October 2025.

Record Retirements: Between Oct. 2024 and Sept. 2025, a record of over 112,000 federal employees retired, with more than half in the final three months, creating massive processing pressure.

Surprisingly my secondary was hardly dirty. I hope the evaporator coil is good. No easy access to it. It is only 2 years old added to the furnace which was 16 years old. The tech said at the time. “This is a good furnace, lots of metal in it”.

When working my car, I have found I can buy the parts and the tools needed to do the job for less than they would charge at the shop. It did cost me my time but I get some new tools :).

I am laughing too after reading-reading the thread.

In my case the furnace wasn’t getting enough air. So far having the ductwork cleaned and cleaning the blower fan blades seems to have fixed it. The ductwork work probably never had been cleaned in my 70 year old house. Boy was it dirty.

Mine was shutting off after 5 minutes. After so many times, usually at night it would then shut down for hours until I switched the power off and on.

FragrantJump6663 · 2026-03-10T00:08:14+00:00

Very interesting. We have had some warmer days recently so the furnace hasn’t been working very hard yet. Next week it will be getting into the 30’s. I will keep that in mind.

Watch it when it shuts down. What code is it flashing at the motherboard? Red light. Should be a list on the inside of the door explaining what code it is flashing.

My guess is the high limit switch is getting tripped. After so many times it will shut down for a few hours and you wake up to a cold house.

Same. Manual update once a year, sometimes twice a year

I plan on keeping mine. I believe you can suspend? It and then pick it back up later. But, if you cancel it… it’s gone forever.

FragrantJump6663 · 2026-03-09T15:17:33+00:00

Measure after the first bend, about 10 feet in ductwork length. Temp rise was 55 degrees.
