I used to stop at the Mound store for snacks.
Disco Duck. Classic.
I'm a couple of days late as usual. Neat to have an author on here.

We use Arm and Hammer deodorizing shampoo. Our dog loves to roll in vile crap.
re: Is Vanguard brokerage platform okay? Considering moving an existing account.

I've had my IRA and Roth IRA accounts there for years. If you're wanting to actively trade though I'd go with IB or Schwab. For everyday investing Vanguard is fine. Their estate department is very good to work with.

Hauling grain down Sharkey Road I've seen several. I once had to stop my truck because a mama couldn't get her 2 cubs out of the road. It took a while but she got it done.

How in the world did that farmer pay for that high tech floating dairy with robots with a 30 cow dairy operation? Dairy must be heavily subsidized.
I'm in the same boat except I haven't retired yet. I've got an offer waiting at a farm here mainly driving a fuel truck and other odd jobs my back can handle. I keep talking myself out of retiring yet. I've got good insurance at work. If I quit I'll have 5000ish$ for part B and Supp. plus no dental or vision. My wife just retired. She's 65 and I'm 66.
Check out their portfolio on Morningstar. Overweighted in financials and healthcare compared to their peer group funds. Underweighted in technology and largest holdings are Microsoft and Apple. No AI among top 10 holdings. Check out the performance page on Morningstar. This fund is in the bottom 10% of its category for the last 15 years. I'd look elsewhere.

My wife is not interested either. We are in our mid 60's. I manage everything but the first of every month I run our balance sheet on paper and she looks at it so she knows where everything is. I also got one of those planning books and wrote down what she needs to know to access all accounts. She recently handled my FIL's estate so she is familiar with the process. I've tried to interest her in investing and financial management of our stuff but she just doesn't want to invest in learning it.

Kaz brothers as well.
What about the New Earth? Heaven is a transition. The New Earth sure sounds physical. Even in heaven we will know each other so I don't know how you can rule out our physical presence there. Revelation 21 and 22. Isaiah chapters about God's Holy Mountain. Micah chapter 4. As specifically to animals, Jesus and his army ride white horses out of heaven-Rev 19:11-16. There is a chapter in Randy Alcorn's book Eternal Perspectives that begins on page 427 about animals possibly being there. We'll definitely have a physical presence after the final resurrection.

On this mountain the Lord Almighty will prepare
a feast of rich food for all peoples,
a banquet of aged wine—
the best of meats and the finest of wines.
Isaiah 25:6. If no animals where will the meat come from? When we get to the new earth I think we have animals. They were in the Garden of Eden so why not the new earth?

I also have plugged many tires and ran them with no problem. If they leak after awhile I put another plug in and they're good.

My SQ is 11 yrs old and it's never needed anything.
I love CEF's especially at a deeper than normal discount and a low Zscore. That said retirement is a different situation with every person. I'm 66 and still working. To me it depends on how much you have and how high you want to live in retirement. I personally like simple things and an uncomplicated life. I have positioned my portfolio for income and safety. I do have some BDC stocks that I sell covered calls on. The rest is a mix of investment grade corporates, TIPS, Mortgage CLO Etfs like CLOA and JAAA, and some preferreds. Lately I've been overweighting TIPS in my new buys. These are my thoughts. Good investing and best wishes to all.
