| Minor increase in cash since we took a vacation with family to California, had a good time but not cheap. Spouse decided to quit her job in early Nov to save her sanity. She will look for something else in the new year so that will likely stunt cash going anywhere but down in the next six months or so. Also dropped cars a bit since one kid had an accident. No one hurt but significant damage that will have to come out of pocket to repair. Given the hassle they are having with my old car my kid decided to buy a new vehicle, and they are finding that is more of a hassle. Basically dealers are not needing to negotiate or offer incentives, stock is limited and demand is high. I will still repair the old one and use it as my own car to save gas versus the truck. Retirement is sliding down from a high of 1.3M, but I have skimmed gains to safer accounts when it was close to peak. I now have what I need to meet planned retirement withdraws so short of full economic collapse I'm sitting pretty good. Home prices are nuts in my area so while I increased a bit, per local sales I am way under value. I just don't trust the market so I am increasing value on the home slowly. Still chugging along in paying down the Mortgage and otherwise looking forward to the holidays. |
