Tires, brakes, batteries, belts, oil - don’t try to get the last 10%. Not that expensive to replace and a real hassle if they fail.

I have a Bulova. Looks good. Works very well.

Bought a 2004 Highlander new. 205k miles now. Running strong. No complaints.

Mow lawn, shovel snow, clean house. I did stop working on our cars about 4 years ago.

Read on this website - couple of hours a week
Read on Seeking Alpha website - same
Go for a walk everyday - 30 mins/day
etc.

My wife and I rode for many years. I stayed away from cross streets and didn’t ride in bad weather or at night. Mostly highway riding during the day during the summer. I agree with the concept of assuming car drivers don’t see you. Wear a bright jacket. I wore red or a yellow motorcycle vest with re...

I have owned BRK-B for quite a while. I also use it for covered calls. You never know but, I also agree with the thought that Buffett will have trouble beating the indexes in the future. The company is too big. We will see.

Craftsman car tire electric pump. Got it about 20 years ago.

Kids college paid for. Debt free including the mortgage. $2 million capital invested for growth and income.

Started saving and investing at age 21 and never stopped. Always lived below our means. Never got divorced. Never bought expensive cars. I am 65.

Get the dog de-barked. It was recommended by the vet and didn’t cost much. We did it to solve a similar situation. Worked great. Dog spent years barking all the time - just didn’t make much noise. Everybody was happy.

About 8% with no plans to increase it. The S&P500 have plenty of international exposure (IMHO). I am 64 yo with 80% in stocks - mostly VTI and SPY ETFs. I am retired with enough pension income to never touch my investments.

Have a 2004 Highlander. FWD, 202k miles, good in the snow, no significant problems. Bought it new. Plan to buy another one (probably AWD this time) when this one fall apart.

Is not much of a sector investor but my guess would be biotechnology.

Having a college education was a life-changing opportunity for both me and my wife. As a result we have paid for our two children to go to college and have also set aside enough capital to pay for our grandchildren to attend also.

Probably a scam. My wife and I ran into a similar situation with a wedding dress. The check was counterfeit.

There is a saying, “God created man. Sam Colt made them equal.” Running away is a good first option. I also agree with the shotgun option.

As a previous post stated - not a physician, but similar outcome. Also 64. Fairly frugal lifestyle. Tithe to our church (always have). What we have done is upgraded our travel experiences - better hotels, etc. A couple of cruises in a nicer room. We do eat out more. We have 2 young grandchildren wit...

Like in a previous post, I am also an airline pilot. Just retired after 33 years in the business at a major airline. I agree. Don't take the pay cut unless they open the books and the viability of the business is in serious risk (it is about to go into bankruptcy or is already there). The company I ...

Down 1.5 mil. Bought some at S&P500 down 10% and down 30%. Will probably buy more if it goes down 40% and 50%.

It will be interesting to see if Warren Buffett does anything during this pullback.

I am 64/married. Although I think it is expensive (loss of return), I keep 10 years of basic expenses in cash and bonds so I sleep better at night.

goldendad

At about 15 years. Along with other things (these all on the car) - brakes, belts, oil, battery, water pump - I don’t try to get the last 10% (or so) of use out of them. One house flood was enough!

goldendad

Don’t forget you need to be able to sleep at night! I would feed it in all asset classes (US stocks/bonds/foreign stocks) over the next 2 to 3 years.

I heard Peter Lynch say something in that interview about people losing more money in anticipation of downturns than in actual downturns... did anyone catch the quote? I suppose he meant people selling on (false) fears that stocks were about to lose value. - he said something like, "more money...

I would keep the farmland. It is a good hedge as it will have value no matter what happens to the economy or US dollar. I understand Warren Buffett owns a farm.

The place to invest is in penny stocks.

goldendad

I generally never sell stocks.When they seem to get overvalued I do donate them to the church we attend (instead of cash). Otherwise, when my portfolio gets stock heavy I just put new money into bonds. Been doing that since 1980.

VTI, QQQ, plus some individual stocks (KO, PEP, MCD, APPL, PG, DIS, COST, WMT, etc. that I have owned for an extended period of time). I bought almost all of the stocks many years ago and have held them ever since.

My goal is to not be a burden for our children, provide for my wife if I die first, and to provide in-state college educations to all my grandchildren.

The prices are up because people are willing to pay more for them - thus the yield is down.

Buy a motorcycle. Join a motorcycle club. Probably be more fun!

I sell covered calls on individual stocks and a couple of indexes (spy, qqq). I do that with some money that would be in bonds. Have earned 8-10% over the last 6 years.

Bought a 2004 Highlander new. Currently has 189500 miles with no significant problems. Been a great car. Still going strong.

When you have the money to do so.

Do the math. Renting could be the way to go if you invest any savings. My wife and I have owned 2 different homes over the last 33 years. We bought because we like owning our home. After looking at it (several years ago) I don’t think I am financially better off by owning.
