    Hi advice on dating

    Good lord I cannot believe there is this much chatter about men and dating women young enough to be their children, and that women typically don’t have any assets. And their oops getting pregnant. ? I’ve got too much in assets and property for any guy to ever date me again. All I’ve ever...

    Hi advice on dating

    So we would all think it’s cool for a happening 58 YO woman dating and marrying a 39 YO male..... Right? Just checking, since it’s sometimes......that the woman has the bag o cash and is the elder. So, ok if it’s the chick doing the 1/2 plus 10? And to consult her age comparable colleagues...

    Date of Residency in New State for State Income Taxes?

    Residency for state income tax purposes generally is based on the number of days you spend/live in a state. More than 50% of 365, you’re typically a resident but check state regs, state tax return instructions or the like. Pretty simple, plus tax regulators look at mailing addresses for...

    Time to let a friend go.

    This, and ADD socially awkward would be a no, for me. ADD and socially awkward was equivalent to deep seated narcissism in my experience with someone like this, in an intimate relationship. NEVER AGAIN!! Put your mask on before helping others.

    Now that you are FIREd, what type of clothes do you wear?

    I love this thread. I am renovating my 2nd/retirement home and I just sacrificed about 3 feet of my walk-in closet to go toward the bathroom off the master. 'cause there will be no suits in my closet going forward, and besides that I'd have some shirts to hang, maybe casual dress or two. Woohoo!

    Getting through that last year or so

    Keep your eye on the prize! I too had an age I had to meet to keep medical, way better and cheaper than any other option including Medicare. So worth it. Now that I've hit my date, it's a lot easier to toil away a few more months, cough, another year, to pay for some luxuries, like a second home...

    Where we grew up.

    I own my childhood home (from age 1 onward). Mom passed, many years after dad, and two of my siblings as well. I bought out my sisters and still have it, starting to do some remodel. It still has the original 1960s ranch built in cabinets in the kitchen. Brandy-new windows and roof a la...

    Jeff Bezos divorcing

    Ditto to this. Pre-nups typically apply only to assets 'brought into' the marriage. Just 'cause he's the man doesn't mean he gets all the assets created or acquired during the marriage. Hello 2018! And...!...she did actual work on the ground floor, aka their garage, of Amazon.

    What is your pet peeve of the day?

    Still people who step in front of me and stay in 1st gear. It's like the highway people, step lively, people have places to go. And faces out of your phones! People walking down a busy, or not!, sidewalk, often abreast with others, face in phone, slow motion walking! Pull over already.

    Hearing Loss, and Hearing Aids

    TV, high pitched voices, background noise, telephone conversations....these are all areas where people have trouble hearing as they age. Anyone with these troubles should consider a solution. Hearing loss doesn't get better, unless it's temporary from an infection, under treatment for example...

    Hearing Loss, and Hearing Aids

    Well, I hadn't previously heard of the relay from one dead ear to the good one. I understand how it might work and also be frustrating. Is there an echo of sorts? But I was thinking this must be an alternative to bone conduction. So, bone conduction is what I was thinking to suggest considering...

    Sleep. For a nightcap, which is healthier: alcohol or marijuana? if you need chemical

    I'm surprised at how much weed has been vilified on this thread. Hey, we aren't working anymore, right? What's the big deal if someone vapes a bit of weed? It's not as bad for you as alcohol and surely Benadryl and the like is just a substitute for alcohol or sleeping pills - chemicals. I'm...

    Class of 2018

    Well, I entered the one more month club in mid 2018 -- right about the time I was finally going to exit. I'm now targeting May 2019. Collecting a few more paychecks, and my 2019 401k contribs, funding the remodel of my country home. I'm comfortable with this strategy. I don't have to worry...
