I said....if you don't like the (risk) of equities buy 6 month/2 year/5 year T's. It's a NO BRAINER at that point. It's also a no risk investment. That isn't to hard to understand, is it. Or you could have gone out and invested in CD's, a little more risk than T's, but not much. How difficult is that?

I'm certainly glad you did well on your R/E transaction, but you're talking apples and oranges. The R/E transaction has no bearing on your Social Security taxes. They'd be the same regardless.
