Yep, but you also have to factor in upcoming economic factors too.  I went through a real complicated set  up spreadsheet, with what I thought would be the trend on interest rates, rate of return of equities invested from Year 1, Year 2, Year 3, etc. , Tax implcations of incremental increase income, and lastly evaulate core investments on ROE basis.  Last look...  optimum for me was age 68.33.  Of course my parameters probably need to updated to reflect a Biden induced inflationary risk.

And all this money printing to finance COVID relief spending has to be causing some massive inflation.

Hiya @Lando Lincoln ! The big move to the North Woods! I remember that was coming. Sane folks do that sort of thing in the summertime around here...

So hows the new digs? Settling in alright?

And the bet got covered... @corbe threw the last one down. Though the way this thread is going, I may do another.  :laugh:

@mystery-ak @roamer_1

Yes, sane people move to the northwoods in summer.  That's the catch, lol!  It is driving me nuts, actually.  My replacement at work finally showed up from Nevada.  But weather is a masterful opponent the moment plans are made.

    Now that the Trump Era is over I've noticed a lot of my old Friends, never forgotten, coming back to TBR.  I've missed them also.

Do you have a monetary target, and if so how much more do we need to hit it?

Yes I do...although this is the most we have ever raised I am not sure it is enough if anything happens....only time will tell...

Looking at the problems Parler is having finding a server and getting back online scares me...I just hope we will be ignored as a little fish in a big pond.

Can you PM me how much more we need? I can help a bit more.

Also, hopefully it will never come to this, but if you need any help in migration, I am happy to volunteer some time.

Ok, sounds good.

I wish there were some way to extract money from Twitter or FaceBook and send it to TBR. I told my wife that my last contribution here was going to be financed by my not seeing and purchasing dog or firearm-related products from ads on FaceBook  wink777

   If Push comes to Shove, @mystery-ak There are obviously some here that have the desire AND the means to help you ensure your TBR Dream stays alive.  Unfortunately, I just paid my property taxes and am quite lite right now but will continue soon.

   You explained that the contingency funds were dangerously LOW (2 months or less) with no Capital for Emergencies which may lurk just around the corner.  I appreciate your forward thinking in keeping this place available for your extended Family of Briefers to meet and chat about any damn thing we like.

That's right but we are in better shape...now we have enough cash on hand to pay our bills for a year...whew!

...and some left over for an emergency...which is hard to predict naturally.

There is one thing we have going for us: we have moderators to keep the troublemakers at bay.

Parler, even though (from what I saw) the majority of posts were mainstream conservative thought, left itself open to bad actors with its lack of moderation. I get why they did, but it was a weakness that Big Tech exploited.

@corbe, I get you. I’ve been unplugging from all media in the past week, ten days because it’s just too upsetting. It’s not anything else, I just sometimes fear I’m going to loose my sanity since I can go literally weeks without seeing anyone now, except on tv.
