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.

As long as MM stays above 4.5% of so, I am slowing trimming stock and adding to MM through 2024.

Yep, that's my thinking, too. I retired early from corporate America in 2020, even though I was never a highly paid executive. This was thanks to living below my means, maxing out my 401K directly into a Vanguard Index fund for 20+ years, accumulating a bunch of RSUs from my company, and juicing my returns by following the Mechanical Investing board and Saul's board.

I now have 20% of my liquid assets in Schwab's money market fund paying a 5% APR monthly. The rest is mostly in index funds, some Dividend King type stocks, and a dozen or so large cap and mid cap tech stocks.

Good luck to all in 2024.
