    FIRE opposites

    At my retirement party, one of the folks said he had never contributed to his 401k because it was more important to have a 10 second car. If I had not retired, he would have been my boss a few years leter. I don't know if I could have handled that.

    How many motorcyclists here?

    I race a 2016 Yamaha WR450F in hare scrambles. I race the 60+ class. You don't stop riding because you get, you get old because you stop riding.

    Husband on ACA - Wife on Medicare

    This will be our situation in 2019. I would like to hear from folks that are currently in this situation regarding subsidies. When I run this scenario through healthcare.gov, it shows I get a full subsidy and my HI is free. It sounds to good to be true. I do check the box showing that my...
