That way I am excluding approx 300K of non liquid assets from my projection.
So we have that money for assisted living if ness.. later in life...or for whatever.

Seig, it really helps to run the numbers once a year. Also to calculate your NET worth to see where you are at..

Then once a year revisit to see if you are up or down...
Thanks you.

Regarding networth the only debt/liability we have is our home and it's $250K balance was refinanced two years ago on a 15 schedule so it will (should) be paid for the same time I hit age 65.
