Hi friends. Just posting while I sip on my coffee and watch the clock tick closer to end of shift. Every day is groundhog day at work.

Is the coffee at least good?

🤔Is this a work from home joke or do you make your own coffee in the office?

[–] runawaycorvid@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Haha neither… although I can see where it would seem like a WFH joke. I just bring my own in a thermos.

Any of you all planning a bond tent closer to retirement?

The thought of buying bonds hurts my soul. I’ve been so anti-bonds since I started investing 10 years ago. But if all goes well I may approach my FIRE number in 7-8 years, so at some point I’ll need to figure out a plan.

We’ve got a fixed percentage of bonds in investment accounts, but we’ve also been accumulating i bonds for the last 7 years, so I suppose we have been (slowly) building a mini i bond tent (or maybe sleeping bag).
