I would add an expense column (which would be a sum of a detailed expense report, i.e. insurance (home, car, umbrella), college, property tax, food, clothes, vet, medical, utility, etc. costs) with an annual increase of 3%. Also, for the sake of being conservative I would use a ROI (return on investment) of 5%. That way if you get 8%, YIPPEE you are ahead of schedule and can retire earlier. : )
That actually sounds pretty good; even though 8% is historically reliable the problem is with the fact that the 8% is a long term average while retirement is a short term certainty.

Thanks for the news! I’m wondering what’s going on with the markets, and if we are taking a dive if it’s time to get out for a while.
No new weekly threads? Just curious. :-)
How's your New Year's Resolution #1 coming along?

I was wondering too!
Maybe some people on the ping list will see this tonight?
I saw it, am still sitting on the sidelines. Things seem over priced yet the market keeps going up up up after that mini correction.
