Stock market jumps.
Buy/Buy/Buy.

I guess it's better than 9.9%.

Are you happy??
Well let's see. Four years ago my income was my part time job at Publix, maybe $400/month total. Bursitis forced me to quit, and my income went to zero. Last year I turned 62, and now get $958/month in Social Security. Hubby was, and still is, providing all the rest in Social Security, pension, and a 2-day/week job.

I'd say we're doing great.
