Congratulations Mac !!
Retirement is a different situation than anything else a person can imagine. The best thing is everyday is a Saturday. The downside is ya never get a raise. It takes about 2 months to get into the idea. Don't sit around a lot. Buy some worthless stock, shut the computer off and take a walk. You've got time now to make some more good friends, some real interesting friends. Don't worry about the money ( unless you trade like me ) . I've learned many good things from you here in S F . I wish you all the best !

Congrats Mac
So you live in Illinois right? How fast would that thing go and would you be on it 24 a day?

Thanks All.

@Shillihs
I did work on the Illinois and Upper Mississippi Rivers. I live out in the country just south of Little Rock. AR . I did travel to St louis , MO which was my home port. Those boats average about 5 MPH with 15 loaded barges of corn , soybeans , salt , fertilizer, steel, sand, ethanol, fuel and anything in bulk, 15 barges about 22000 ton's.
24 hours a day for 28 days then 28 day at home. 6 hours on watch and 6 hours off watch.

That’s pretty cool, I basically retired at 42, I’d go into work 80 days a year for 3 hours until I was 48 when I stopped. It’s great not having anything to do but your body will start breaking down. My wrist popped out of its socket once from what I believe was inactivity and now i have chronic pain. Only fasting helps with that.
Basically you have to keep doing things like gardening and taking long walks. Enjoy it!

Bingo! That's exactly why I had to stop trading.
There was no "paycheck" (raises) to make up for losses.
Basically, Mac, from here on out, you're on your own.
Enjoy yourself -- and start working on that yard!

When AAPL gets to $98, we're at the bottom ... maybe.

Well this is the pullback for sure. SPY is closed below the 100 day moving average which puts it at 10% correction. The 200 day moving moving average is still moving up but price is moving down towards it. The 200 day moving average will be a 20% decline. My wild guess is they will meet somewhere around the support area of 415 and around the end of next week when Congress has to raise the debt ceiling.
and if the don't it will be a "Oh CRAP moment"
and RIS 14 still has a ways to go down still. One think is stock will reset theirselves.
