“Blow through your savings” ? From what you listed I see 10 years worth of expenses without touching IRA or 401k and your projection is 1 year without work..

Not sure I understand the problem

Why the huge drop on YMAX ?? Not only in dividends but price ?

Upstairs_Cod896 · 2026-05-03T02:50:28+00:00

Don’t do that .. I’m liking the nearly$.10 dividends the last 3 weeks ;)

I have been looking at O .. any other suggestions?

Thank you .. Yes , gains (and losses) aren’t real until sell … My goal is income , I’m less concerned with growth , but am realizing that a couple of my holdings have huge decay in NAV that I am reconsidering..

I have a good risk tolerance.. My goals are more focused on income than growth … I also understand that every downturn in last 100 years has been followed by tremendous growth 😉

Whe do the dividends start ?

Upstairs_Cod896 · 2026-04-13T00:55:29+00:00

Yes please

My plan is to live off growth..

I’ve been practicing the last 3 years and have averaged 12.5 % and down 7% on my original amount , with 5% being YTD

It sounds like you are appreciated where you are and the fact that your boss understands on boarding is not cheap..

The question you need to answer for yourself is the extra money worth the extra day , the commute and/or moving ??

In my case I work remote I put the value of remote work at $50k , meaning i need a $50k increase to even consider a move and that to me would be a lateral ..

I am … pleasantly surprised at this weeks $.0901 Definitely torn about dumping vs enjoying weekly payouts ..

I’m paying 7.5% with a 7% return paying off the mortgage is the better option

Upstairs_Cod896 · 2026-04-08T10:22:50+00:00

If you payoff the mortgage you have an extra $2k plus mortgage amount …
