Will not be that bad [View all]

Now I know how much our RMDs will be. And the SS payments, so the reduction in our 2019 income will not be catastrophic. Down, but manageable. Of course, one cannot know about major expenses, or a stock market crash but... will see.

Glad that we had it at 50:50 since the bond funds kept, even went up a bit.

No, not ready to cash out. Not yet.

Happy 2019. Got to be better!
