[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op—I don’t get the negativity being thrown your way. Why is looking for equal considered negative?  I think your real investment strategy sounds amazing and I’d love to have your knowledge.  You are smart to balance self employment with a fed job with benefits; it’s the best of both worlds—high risk/high reward and security.  Congrats to you for building your own portfolio and knowing what you want.  As the saying goes “know your worth”—you know your worth both figuratively and financially. Kudos to you!

I don’t know what more people want you to invest your money in.  You’ve done all the checkbox items—raised a kid who’s off the college.  Now is your time.  Are DCUM people really so conservative that they are going to invest their money until they die in order to pass it ALL onto their kids?  It sounds like your son will inherit enough from you.  You sound investment savvy and I suspect you would reduce travel if it was negatively impacting your family.

So DCUM, OP has the investments which are generating enough income to support her lifestyle.  What other investments are you recommending that she make?  please be specific.  Why should she not be spending her dividends on a lifestyle that makes her happy?  Why is doing so wasteful?[/quote]

Op here: exactly ! The whole point of getting the most from life is being able to afford things while you are still relatively young . I do continue investing in my 40s but not in same rate as in my 20-30s as I already built wealth that’s sufficient for me. It’s not anyone making all money you can make but about the right balance.

Why would I be tight with money now, to invest into another project that would pay back in 15 years and get 5-10 years of travel, then give away all to my son or managers  ? To be an extremely wealthy 60 yo? My grandma got dimensia at age 65. My son will get what I have already and it’s a hood start: he won’t be less privileged from inheriting 7 mm vs 10mm when I die.
