I'd love to say my number is 1mil, but it'll haveta be much less. Get this spit of land off the note, my number goes way down.
a little OT, I bet my 'Number' is just where I go from work I hate to work I like better, for less $ but to include bene's.
Drive truck for the co-op or 'Welcome to Lowes what project can I help you with' or something fun like that.
ACA does not have an asset test. It's 100% income based. Cash on hand is not income.Quote:

This may change because there is some political pressure to include some kinds of capital gains and other unearned income in the equation.Quote:

after 65 it's probably just Part B which isn't that much unless you baller.Quote:

Annual bump. Covid changing anyone's calcs?
Man I just re-read the OP, I must've been hammered.
All I got is that I’m beyond grateful that I already reached my number. These are good days not to be working.Quote:

Forgot about this thread. I retired in June. Figure I only have 40 yrs ahead of me to worry about. No kids, but pretty sure I can rely on you guys to take care of me when I go senile.
And, so, what's the number?Quote:
