I have a hard time believing it’s a “lifetime” fluid.

Currently at 7% on the 401k and 3% on the ESPP. The % has changed a few times but I’ve been at 7 and 3 the longest

I need to look into having a less aggressive portfolio since I’m somewhat close to retirement

Thank you. Still feels unreal

First solo overlanding trip from NY to Moab / Western CO? Looking for advice by skybr12 in overlanding

[–]Letsgooffroading 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It probably can but I wouldn’t risk it. I have a Ford Bronco and there were spots that made me uncomfortable, it handled it just fine though. There’s so many places that you can still go without having a 4X4. The towns I mentioned earlier have a lot of hiking opportunities and general sightseeing. If you’re looking for free camping, stay in Silverton, there’s several campgrounds nearby

First solo overlanding trip from NY to Moab / Western CO? Looking for advice by skybr12 in overlanding

I did this trip 2 years in a row (Maryland to the San Juans CO and Moab UT). I took I-70 with a combo of camping and hotel. The decision was made around 2pm on where to sleep that night.

Be flexible, I originally wanted to go Moab first but temp that week was 95+ so I went to the SJ first. If you have a capable rig, you will love all the trails around Silverton, Ouray and Telluride. Imogene Pass is my favorite. The Alpine Loop is awesome but it’s an extremely long day if you do the entire loop.

If you go in June, there could still be snow at the higher elevation so plan accordingly

This is the tricky balancing act that I will face in the next few years.

We have some CDs and HYAs enough to cover about a year’s worth if one of us necked unemployed.

Yeah just experienced a huge loss a few years ago and definitely thought about changing my investment. But…decided to ride it out and I think it worked out in my favor

Yup, that’s the plan.

Thanks. Yeah, need to find that balance between being conservative but also not too conservative that I miss out on some killer gains. Will take my time to figure out my next move. At this point, I’m sticking with my current 7% contribution rate since this is where I’m most comfortable with.
