Diversify in tech and buy SMH ETF. It's up 160.65% in the past year. If you had invested $10k in it ten years ago, it would be worth $260k today.

Try the NOOM app. It is a subscription plan but it will help you lose weight, eat better and exercise by tracking what you do in the app. By making eating, psychological and lifestyle changes it help you lose weight weekly. But you have to be committed to stick with it for it to work.

What's the note per month? If you pay it off, you have the note amount for living expenses.

Health care is going to be one of your biggest expenses. Is your wife on Medicare? I retired at 66 and I had to buy Obama Care for my wife and it was $1,100 a month. Buy term life insurance in case you die. Convert 1/3 of your retirement to a Roth and generate income, tax free in it. How much is left on your house?

I've met Canadians that now live in the US. And they say the Canadian health care is crap. There economy is about equivalent to Mississippi's. There military is a joke.

1) What is a good resource (book/s, podcast, business journal, etc) for understanding a companies fundamentals and whether their stock price is under or over valued.
I like analyzing stocks and ETFs using a combination of Fidelity's stock research, Seeking Alpha and Morning star. It gives me good info on a stocks value, growth, etc.
