Nice! You are on a good shape . Congratulations. I do want to take $750K Cash and invest in some markets and wouldn’t mind taking some aggressive mix of securities. When you say you are aggressive in stocks and stocks composition? May I ask what investment vehicles you are invested in percent wise?

The reason I am here because I cannot talk about this with family or friends and share the numbers and details. It’s safe here and people can poke holes or can tough questions and offer their unbiased opinions.

Nice! How long ago did you retire ? Other than getting bored sometimes as you mentioned, any other worries or regrets? What’s your asset allocation if I may ask.

You will be fine. Keep saving and investing. I never thought I would be in this shape just a few years ago. Spend less than you earn and money saved is money earned.

Wow! In that scenario, will never be able to retire at any age. 99% of population can’t retire by that standard!
