| I'm glad the market continues to do well, and have no clue what will happen with my job, but I'm mostly keeping my head down. Spending is clearly still out of control, but I'm not motivated to correct it... it's a weird feeling. I think we've settled on a replacement car for our main family vehicle too, but will wait for the 2022 models to be available and then order one, with the expectation of fully financing starting in January or February. Not tracked in our networth are some stock awards (mostly options, but some shares also). Our aim is to let these sit for another 18 months if I can manage... my vested portion is worth about $231K today, but with additional vesting and 8% stock price growth projections, I'm estimating they'll be worth $460K by Feb 2023, assuming no major company issues or stock market crash... intent would be to take that ($~$277K after taxes and tithing, add it to the existing stocks I have - ~$55K by then) and buy a little airplane for some fun. I'm hoping I can find something decent in the low 300s at that time. Lots of assumptions there, so I guess we'll see.... |
