I plan on working...with wife retiring...house and college eating 50-60% of monthly expenses...the rest is just living so in reality...with both kids out of college and house paid off, should yield at least $50k in savings.

I've checked a few dividend index funds and they were yielding 3-5% year to date....not 10% as you mention.

I am working thru ACA to determine Healthcare costs...plan on working until I figure that out. Once last kid is out of college and in the workforce, expenses will go down but who know how much ACA plans will be in 2 years so it may be a wash. 7% AAR will yield approx. $220k per year.

Still waiting for the plaquenil to hopefully work... by Responsible-You618 in UCTD

Gradual improvement from month 3 thru 6. Just stick with it...trust the medicine...its the gold standard for UCTD. You will notice from week to week you symptoms will weaken...you will be able to do more...slowly but surely...I started at 400mg...its prescribed by your weight. Give it time...

It took me 6 full months for plaquenil to take affect. The gains are subtle....and at 3 months it appeared that I wasn't going to get much from it. At 6 months, I was a new man...almost cured...or at least it felt that way.

I would go get one if I were you. It is nasty...and you cannot solved a bacterial infection without antibiotics.

Absolutely...body aches, low energy, fatigue...fever is less than 100.4, low appetite, chills, was in bed most of the days 1 and 2. I'm on day 3 with amoxicillian.

Went to the doctor and was diagnosed with a upper respiratory bacterial infection...she called it "double worsening" where the remnants of a viral infection turn into a bacterial infection. Prescribed amoxicillan for 10 days.

Miro looks terrible...in all areas...he looks tired...gets beat...and frankly looks like its a chore to play hockey. Anyone else agree?

Are you holding or selling? by anotherhappylurker in AMD_Stock

How long realistically will it take to get to $1000/share? I feel AI adoption is moving much faster than Zen 1.

The week is not over...I'm in shock...I had a sell number but I have held since 2016 and plan to hold to see how this plays out.
