This week I'm buying a new washer and dryer, new cellphone, getting the generator repaired and buying the requisite materials for 3-4 years of house and yard projects.
We are current on all vaccinations, even recent TDaP.
We're also planning to keep an eye out for a camper when folks start needing to sell stuff.
@Cosmichomicide I had the same thought. We are due for new phones, so we will be making that purchase before the end of the year. There may be other items we rush to get, too. There’s no way to know how bad it will get under the new administration and how quickly. I’m also going to start moving our retirement investment funds into more low-risk, stable funds. I don’t want us to lose a ton if the market crashes.
@GEAUXJayna @Cosmichomicide I have been contemplating the 401k as well. We did that before J6. I had a feeling back then.
@AverageCitizen @Cosmichomicide Yep - we hung tight with most of what we’d invested in pre-pandemic, with some slight adjustments in the last year or two, and our accounts have rebounded and then some, but I’m worried about what’s to come, so I think we have to go low risk, at least for a while.
@GEAUXJayna @AverageCitizen
It's a crapshoot.
Which describes the next 4-10 years.
Hell, I was even thinking about ways to take SS now, since I expect my "full retirement" to not be there.
(Didn't make ANY sense, so one grand scheme down.)
