About to pay off our last student loan payment, which is 13.5k. Gonna be hella nice to have $284 extra a month and not have any debt aside from the mortgage.

Still not comfortable with my 6 month emergency fund. I am pretty close currently and after paying off this last bit of debt I’ll have enough left over for 3 months of emergency funds. Hope to get that up to 6 by Fall.

Yeah, I’ve already let them know I’m not signing unless I can get that so we shall see.

It sucks that it’s taxable but I’ll throw enough deductions out there to hopefully get it down.

Luckily I haven’t signed anything yet

As far as the "bottom falling out," you being 36 should not worry about this as long as you have a disciplined long term strategy. A market correction of 10% won't break you like it would a person near retirement, and you will be able to participate in the inevitable recovery, which is the most lucrative time in a market.

...
But if you can time the correction fairly close and change over to bonds until it hits bottom, and then move back over to aggressive funds, won't you get much more from the recovery? I know...lots of 'ifs' in that, but if you can work it...

Sure, if you're able to see into the future, that's a great approach. In reality, almost everyone sucks at timing the market.

That rarely works and should never be done for those in the accumulation stage. Those 10 years or less from retirement might do what you’re suggesting though. If you don’t meet that criteria, you’ll likely lose more in preparation for a downturn than actually riding out equities.

People talked about moving money and an impending correction around 20 in the Dow. People did move money. Here we sit at 26. Those people missed 30% gains.

Timing the market in retirement accounts isn’t worth it. Decide on your allocation preference and rebalance 1-2x per year.

People who try to time the market almost always end up losing and giving money back to Wall Street. I've seen it time and time again.

Worse yet are the panickers who sell at the bottom and stay in cash. Emotional investing is bad investing; cooler heads prevail.

Can someone explain to me who and what estimated taxes should be paid through the year from selling stock? I have done lots of reading and it’s comfusing who must pay through year and who can just wait to pay these when they file their taxes for the year?

What do you mean by this? Are you saying that if I move into bonds too early I would forfeit gains that I would have made had I stayed in aggressive funds? Or is different cost in moving to bonds?

Here is some decent explanation of underpayment rules. Underpaid is different than owing. Underpaying means the IRS is going to fine you. Owing just means you have a liability but no penalties.

Basically it says that if you owe a grand or less you're good (total tax - withholding). Or you've paid the lesser of 90% of total tax due OR 100% of PY tax liability.

And that is assessed capital gains. Gains in a retirement fund are not taxed. So you're just looking at whatever you've sold outside of retirement.

I'd say if you are withholding enough for you and your wife, and unless you have a SHITLOAD of gain, you're probably good.

I don't want to speak for him, but I'd imagine that's what they're saying. If you'd have pulled out of your money when Trump got elected (as a lot of people talked about), especially after that overnight move on the futures, you'd have missed more than it will likely set back.

All speculation of course, that's why they call it speculating, not hedging, but yeah. There shouldn't be any other cost.
