As of close of business yesterday, our portfolio now stands at just over $3,200,000.
I thought we might hit that by the end of the year and here we are at that mark almost 4 months before that. The market performance has been wild. I know it can't continue but it's sure a great ride while it lasts.
I've gotten our AA up to 56% stock as it had gotten really low due to the inheritance. My target is 60-65% stock so we're close. I may just leave things be for now as in another month or so, I'll be getting the money currently locked up in the estate account and will need to deploy that.

Yes, I am actually going to retire early. I gave notice last month to drop to part time. That will start by December 1. I don't have a confirmed date yet but by contract it has to be by then. Then assuming all is well, I'll give notice in August 2022 to switch to per diem by the end of the year. If I find that I'm no happier working part time, I may make that change sooner.
Will I be bored? NO! Absolutely not. I have plenty of things to do to keep me busy. There are so many things that I defer now because I have neither the time nor the energy to do them. I plan to ramp up my ebay sales as part of our ongoing effort to get rid of clutter. I have a garage full of stuff to deal with including about a dozen cartons of stuff I brought back from my cousin's house. DW and I will travel more, both short trips and longer ones. I want to do more home cooking, something we've really gotten away from because of the whole time/energy thing. Yardwork. Housework. Plenty to keep me active for as long as I'm able to do it.
