Upon returning to the northern part of the US, which is as far as we could travel at the time, she then decided to keep both dogs
because I was suicidal at finding myself in a new city, with zero emotional support, thousands of miles away from my former life in the SW and she thought it was what she needed to do to keep the dog safe, who was also dealing with the
split, as it had
bonded with the other dog and my ex.
My retirement accounts are more like a 50 - 50
split between stocks and
bonds,
because of a longer time horizon and
because yields on
bonds are extremely unattractive right now.
