The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

We are heavily dependent on equities, both in and out of 401K (now IRA, since we rolled over after retirement). Not yet eligible for SS.

We have probably three years' of expenses in cash. So we can ride it out for at least that long. I suspect change will be forced upon the Felon in the from of Congressional action if it is allowed to go that long. Too many people will be hurting, and the House faces an election in 2 years (plus part of the Senate).
