Thanks for all the input. I just executed as per my AA.

@RunningBum: Light bulb just went on. It should be about AA not market timing. I'll go all in as per my AA. Thanks.

Simple question: I have a windfall with my company that was just bought out. All up around 250k after taxes has been paid to me. Should I put this new money all in at these levels or DCA into the market over time? I am still 10 years or so out of retirement. This accounts for about 20% of...

Very nice. Thanks for pointing this link out. When you start to think about it in terms of fixed vs income producing it does start to take on a whole new meaning. I guess I have to stop looking at the balance and start looking at what that balance can generate. As buffet points out there are...

Government controlled wifi. Hmm, they can fully control it if everyone has the ability to get off the private access grid. At any point they could decide to implement content restrictions or blocking or just shut it down if there was any sort of civil unrest. I think it is just a way for the...

Money Chimp says 100% compounded at 3% with 45k additions. LOL. Math is always exact science, reality is not.

My two cents. When you are let go, even if for cause or not it still feels the same. It is a shot to anybodies ego, even if it is due to circumstances out of your control. Take it for what it was, and try to let go. Spinning on it doesn't help anything. I remember I was going to hand in my...

I am sure this has been discussed over and over. I am 40 yo now and have about 1.2 million in assets in the stock market with a AA utilizing Coffee House style. I am far ahead of where I need to be at my age, and even though I planned on retiring in a few years, I have now been promoted at my...

p90x. Lol. Well the poll should have read are you dyslexic. Whisper beachbody.

Fruit is the ultimate fast food. It will take you longer to get into your pop tart than peel a banana. Stop the excuses. Notice the additives in your foods and you will start to understand they are why you reach for the ready to eat high shelf life foods.

Generally speaking, wealthier people eat healthier as good food costs more money. Subsidized high carb, high fat low nutritional foods for the mass population. Highly processed foods are subsidized by government. Adictive chemical additives keep the masses going back for more. There is a reason...

So where is your line in the sand? Would you spend 10k, 100k, 1 million. How about your last $1 even if that ment your family going hungry? Would yiu sell your house? I think every body has a line that they are willing to help out up to, but beyond that it really isn't helping anybody.

Been doing PX90 for 10 months now. I stop at around 60 for each set. But could get to 100 if I pushed it over a few more minutes

She owes more on the car than it is worth. Other assets wouldn't bring much more than garage sale prices. MIL spent more than income her entire life. What even more anoying to me is she still has a $10 a day smoking habit that she refuses to give up. If all the money is in a pool then are we not...

No coypay no treatment. Most doctors require it up front now or will not order tests and set up surgeries. Been down that road already. Already talked with the wife and we have agreed to drop the $1000 up front directly to the doctors where needed. Secondly my wife will take on a part time job...
