Makes sense--thanks, BG and Cyn. When we go back to the US, we won't have health insurance until ktsp gets a job--shouldn't be a problem (living in Iceland, we've almost forgotten what health insurance is like), given our age/health, but we'll be sure to keep plenty in savings to get us through that time. As soon as we're set up and established again, then we'll look into the next steps of investing.

We've considered buying in Iceland, but we just can't fathom how to take care of it from afar--without begrudging someone in my family to be the caretaker, or renting it out to students during the winter (which seems risky in itself). But hey Cyn, our apartment is up for sale right now, if you're interested...
the landlord doesn't seem to be having much luck in this market.
