And there comes my dilemma. A natural follow on from that would be to mention my own intimations of mortality. In February I was diagnosed with prostate cancer. Apart from putting a complete downer on what should be (or at least, is is intended to be) an entertaining read for the holiday season, it would also generate a lots of OT posts. So this post is by way of getting that out of the way with now, in advance.
Don't worry, with chemo and radio therapy I should be around for many more years to come. I also note, having searched these boards, that I'm not alone in this. At least one other stalwart of these boards seems to have been through this.
So finally, to drag this post kicking and screaming into some semblance of being on-topic for this board, I was wondering if others with similar life-changing issues have found that it changed their investment strategy in any way?
For my part I can't say that it has, not the investment side of it any way. Spending the income has though. My portfolio has build up a cash float during the covid lockdown years that's probably enough to cover two years of normal expenses. I'm feeling much more inlined to spend some of that now on 'bucket list' items...
