thanks, and yes, a pittance of a pension and regular checkups keep us on budget and head off any problems — best decision i ever made (financial or otherwise) was serving our country doing search - and - rescue, oil and chemical spill remediation, etc. (you can guess the branch of service)-- along the way, frugal
living, along with dollar - cost averaging, asset allocation, and diversification allowed us to retire early — Vanguard has been very good over the years, despite the Dot Bomb, 2002, and the recession (
where we actually came out better with a modest but bargain retirement home purchase)... it's not easy building additional «legs» on a retirement platform, but now that we're here, cash, real estate, investments and insurance products, along with a small pension all help to avoid any real dependence on social security (we won't even need it at full retirement age)-- however, like nearly everybody, we're headed for Medicare in several years, albeit with a nice
supplemental and pharmacy benefits — but our main concern is staying fit, active, and healthy!
This online webinar series includes eight
live sessions, small group discussions,
supplemental reading materials, 16 continuing education credits (
where applicable), and a certificate of completion.
Also, if I made payments to a
supplemental health /
life / accident insurance company offered by my employer, aka, pre - and post - tax payments
where does this factor in on my taxes?
