In 1980, my wife (pic below) received 50 shares of Coca Cola and Truist Financial Corporation as a graduation gift from her grandmother. The dividends were reinvested in each company and they grew quite considerably over the last 23 years.

Current status:


She wants to sell off 72 shares of KO ($4,039.20) & 18 shares of TFC ($982.62) to fund a position in SLI.

I'm not trying to talk her out of it but wanted to know if this is a sound strategy.

Of course I understand risk/reward of investing. What says the MB gurus?

For your trouble (kinda like this but a 40yr old milf)

Did you roll the old 401k to an IRA?

Yes. Sorry for misrepresenting that. The 401K was established when I started working in 1998. I left the private sector five years ago to teach because it is less stress on my body (but more stress on my heart and head).

Well, that's not a good strategy, mate!

Vanguard total stock market index is probably your best bet.

So are you saying put 100% into that fund?

Why do you need a financial consultant?

Poor choice of words? Account manager maybe a more appropriate term.

When you clicked on the assessors maps there was a disclaimer, read it

I did, that's why I stated

"I know the boundary line may not be accurate in the photo"

But I guess everyone just wants to overlook it and tell me what I've already stated. Perhaps next time I will be more explicit that I know this is not to be used on legal documents and that the County Assessor makes every effort to produce the most accurate information possible. No warranties, expressed or implied are provided for the data herein, its use or interpretation. The assessment information is from the last certified tax roll. All other data is subject to change.

I appreciate your expertise and insight. You provided great detail about the intricacies of property lines.

The strip between the three neighbor's houses was designated for a walkway to what was originally designed to be a green space. My property butts up against it.

Just curious, but did you draw a box the size of you lot limits and lay it over your property to come to this conclusion?

I did not.
