We have a walking pdad, you do need the railing, so get one with that. We are not light people in this house 215 and 265. We have had ours for 6 months, we each do about 30 minutes a day on it at a slow pace as we both have knee issues for years which has contributed to the weight gain. They...

It would depend on what the craft beer was, in our house thats still cheap beer. Take for instance Founders 4 pack of 12 oz bottles of Stout Breakfast stout - $11.99 Kentucky Breakfast Stout - $17.99 Kentucky Breakfast Stout Spicy Chocolate - $23.99 The inflation for beer personally was a...

Like all things its local, our city changed zoning and building laws in the last 5 years and builders are finally building apartments again so we finally saw a 0.5% rent decrease YoY. We haven't seen the price jumps in insurance yet, but I'm waiting, we renewed in December and it was only a...

I've had it happen more frequently lately. I find when I look like I'm on a mission and got places to be I am left alone, its when the sun is out and Im just wandering that I must scream easy pickings. An lady who looked in her 70s came up the other day in a grocery parking lot trying to sell...

The first million took 19 years, the second million took 9 year and most of that I was no longer adding to but actually drawing down. I'm really hoping the trend continues and the next million only takes 5. Its only been a month since I hit 2 and I'm 6% of the way to 3.

I certainly think they have some logistics they need to work out. If people are going to have to pay for a buyers agent, many will skip that so then sellers agents are going to have to field a lot of calls and arranging of meets since there will be no buyer agent to let them in and make sure...

CosMcs may have a market. There are certainly people that dont' care where they get their drinks from as long as they taste good and its fast in/out. Honestly I'm one of those people. Usually I'm more thirsty than hungry when driving around. As for price wars, I think its more a backlash...

I bought a ton of McDonalds in 2010 as a real estate investment play, McDonalds now owns about $40 Billion in real estate in the most prime locations in the world. Mcdonalds tried to re-brand itself getting into the "fancy" burger market, driving up prices. It also spent a decent amount of...

Adding this video actually addresses my question directly, sharing as I think it makes is way more clear https://youtu.be/c6ZgIR5Vx00?feature=shared

Unfortunately none of these addresses Roth 401k Rollover treatment which is why I had asked the question, its the one topic I've never seen addressed.

This is what I was trying to get confirmation of. I'm not sure I found anything useful in 8606 but 1099-R instructions I think confirmed it My understand now is if I rolled over $10k and $8k was contributions to my Roth 401k, It would show the $10k in box 1, the $8k in box 5, H in Box 7, and...

The deli meat price is the reason I finally could justify a meat slicer. I got a whole Turkey post Christmas sale, roasted the turkey breasts, made the rest into ground turkey and it came out to $1.39/lb processed, took about an hour. I never thought I'd be grinding/slicing but at these...

When kids are involved I always ask have you accounted for - College - Failure to find a job after college or one that allows them to leave home - Future weddings - Travel to see the kids as they will likely move elsewhere The earlier you FIRE, the more things that are just unknown (taxes...
