63. We started getting into Nvidia about three years ago

My partner was messing with retirement things, and tech friends were telling us the boom was coming. Since I'm a gamer, I've been using Nvidia products for years, so I told my partner to go ahead (based on my video gaming knowledge, lol - I know nothing). But I know the cards are basically industry standard.

It's . . . going well.

I actually expect this valuation to readjust, but we're middle-aged and looking more towards 15-20 years until retirement. So, for now, whatever happens happens. Not going to panic sell if the bubble bursts. As long as they make hardware, it'll probably be fine long term.
