That's such a good feeling. Being a Lansing native myself I can't help but admire the green and white motif. Was that coincidental or are you as excited about the final four as the rest of us here?

Even more congrats on making enough off DFA to pay for two mortgage loans!!! Dang!!! Anyway, your plan seems solid to me...pending job loss means you need a bigger emergency fund.
