Tundras live: Dumb Dad Jokes, Incorrect Opinions, and Relationship Advice.

I am older than OldGuy and nearing retirement (in 4 years). I have money tied up at Fidelity and Vanguard. Money goes up and down but you have to ignore daily swings. By having a high yield guaranteed account or CD you earn a decent return. If you have a hybrid money market and bond fund you earn a little more. I am moving some money into a tax free account to minimize taxes which are overbearing.

 

Yeah I'm still like 15 years out from retirement and also play this game as well. Vanguard has quit a bit of my money right now. I don't even pay attention to it as my money market manager does well by me overall annually as I watch it grow.

No one else needs to respond; he's the only one that is making any sense here

 

Not sure I'm following your dig but I prefer bacon over sausage, and pink tacos over either of those. Might be that at times I'm slow.

 

I used to work in a toy factory making plastic Draculas.

There were only two of us, so I had to make every second count.

I wonder what category most tundra owners are? I never realized so few people have much saved.

 

I get into a similar discussion weekly over here...

how do folks afford to live these days?
