The Inflation Report came out today and all was quiet.

there is no alternative really to just tracking your own finances .

overall. we are ten years into retirement and despite spending down 6 figures a year our portfolio today is way higher than it was the day we retired.

that's my benchmark

Same here after 30 years in retirement. Only difference, we don't track our finances. The credit goes to my wife for her wanting to prepare for early retirement & to a Fidelity advisor on how to invest so our funds grew instead of depleting.

I have moved all of my investments to fixed income. Things are going to be much too unstable for the next almost 4 years to expect things to continue as they were. Who knows what will happen after that.

at just 20% equities and zero bonds , 10% gold i am the least invested since 1987 .

after an amazing last two years we can just sit back and see what unfolds .

this is not a good time to try to catch a proverbial falling knife if one isn’t in their accumulation stage
