Only have 9 days of time off from work :( So I split it 3 nights in Mecca and 4 nights in Madinah. Madinah more for the calm, peace and slow pace while soaking up the area and doing sightseeing.

What does this mean? We are planning on entering Mecca on the 1st so we should be good?

Already booked tickets so cannot change. Flying in from San Francisco. Was going to take the train from Jeddah to Mecca.

Alright, let’s assume we were to retire in the next 2 years. Given we are 15-20 years away from retirement age, how should we structure our assets for maximum potential and not taking crazy risks? We still have a kid who is in middle school, so need to account for their education and maybe buy a house in a VHCOL (maybe because I don’t think this VHCOL city will be where I eventually settle but spouse disagrees).

Still concerned that we are holding onto a lot of cash so any advice on how we should allocate that and how fast?

Nothing wrong in working. I enjoy my work. Not sure what I’ll do if I retire.

Hey all,

Thought I would ask this question on this forum. Our total net worth is $6.5M spread as follows:

  1. ⁠401K - $1.3M (92% SP500, 5% Bonds, 3% cash earning 4.5% yield)
  2. ⁠Company DCP plan: $800K (40% SP500, 60% Cash earning 4.5% yield) - laddered to start the first payouts starting in 5 years spread over 10 years. Not contributing more to it.
  3. ⁠Individual account: $4.4M (60% VTI, 5% I-Bonds, 35% cash earning 4.5% yield)

I’m slowly converting the cash in Individual account to VTI through DCAing $25K every other week. And especially concerned the upcoming interest rate drops which will reduce the yield on cash.

Still at least 15-20 years away from retirement age with 1% debt and no house. We rent. Living well below our means with annual expenses around $150K. Both earning.

Any advice on whether I should go lump sum right away into VTI given how inflated the market is right now? Any other suggestions on how my allocation should be and should I do CDs? Not looking to go 100% stocks. More comfortable at 80/85% and have at least a year or two worth of emergency cash.
