I currently live in the Hudson Valley. Beacon has undergone a lot of transformation over the last few years and has a very nice Main Street area. It has an active arts scene. It is on the east side of the river with trains that go right into NYC. I also like Cold Spring which is the town...

Is there some kind of proof you need to show that they are spending more than half time at the other parent's house? I am the parent they are currently living with during the school week and they attend the local school in NY, but their father lives in NJ (a little over an hour away). He makes...

Good luck with everything! I would love to do this as well, but I"m about 10 years behind you, so I would love to hear updates!

Does anyone happen to know if federal employees have the option of adding additional funds into the TSP over the $18000?

I grew up in the New Haven, CT area. I have been overseas most of my adult life but recently moved to the Hudson Valley area of New York.

Thank you for all of the suggestions. Time to do some research!

I love to travel but I get tired of traveling alone. I don't have many friends that like/can afford/have the time to travel. Can anyone recommend a reasonably priced company that does tours? Or maybe know of a group that puts together excursions one could join? The more reasonably priced...

Scotland, Ireland, Wales, England, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Iceland

It was a great show. That laugh!

2023 is my goal year, but 2028 is my no later than date. So depending on how things go, it could be 2027.
