dej(Jed), I retired at 55, have investments in stock market. I'm 65, haven't tapped into investments yet. When market crashed in 08 I cashed in some stocks and took a major loss, on paper, which is tax deductible $3K per year or it can offset any capital gains. I put the money back in to the market and it's back to where I started per 08.
Recently my brokers, I have two, thought it would be a good idea to buy into short term bonds. One is paying 7% the other 6.5% with a bonus at end of term.
I too have no debt, all properties are paid for. I paid cash for my last two homes and last two vehicles.
Some think the market is too risky. Keep in mind, my losses in 08 were just paper losses. Yes he market has risks, but take your paper losses and it's income tax reallocation.
7% on $150k won't take long to pay for a new truck, if you can find last years model with no interest. It won't take you long to pay for a new truck and still have the $150k in your pocket
