⚑ 6-Month Review — February 2027
  • Scale IBKR $600 → $1,000/mo if comfortable
  • Route $400 free money into IBKR — massive compounding impact
  • Evaluate Opportunity Fund — still needed at $800?
  • Gold vs equities balance — still right?
  • Consider income protection insurance
  • Real estate goal — start saving toward it?
