Love Dilbert!

My wife and I met on Match in 06' so my take is a bit dated, pardon the pun. I found Match to have a lot of control over the characteristics I was looking for. Eharmony didn't. I actually found my wife by searching with the keyword 'kayaking'. :) And it's been smooth paddling ever since, well...

Congrats! And enjoy the rest of your life!

Funny story. That's the sad truth too.

I think you need to get a hobby. :facepalm:

Congrats!!! That's way more than enough for us to pull the trigger & we're 43 & 48. You just need to reduce your expenses. I don't think we could spend 100K/yr if we tried.

My suggestion is to buy used. You save a bunch of $ up front and will take less of a hit when you sell. This is what I did when I bought my 05' Corvette 6 years ago. If I were to sell today I would loose very little. Go for it! If you love driving you'll love the Corvette. ;D

I posted a similar thread a while ago. The time periods selected can be misleading. It's all about historically what time periods are used to evaluate your scenario. Also, a longer time hoizon gives Firecalc less periods on which to evaluate. What I do is see what time period gives me the...

x2, & congrats!!!

I wish I could vote (not retired) but it would be NO. :D

Here are 2 pics of our beloved Tibetan Terrier rescue, Dalai, pre and post haircut. Dalai is about 5. And one pic of my departed Airedale, Rush, who I give credit for many years of sanity in my life. She lived to 12 years. Thank God for dogs!
