Wow, I can't believe it's been 11 years since I posted our first net worth post! I haven't posted in 4 years and I figured it was time. https://www.early-retirement.org/forums/f30/another-update-96028.html 4 years later, wife still not working (taking care of elderly parents etc), and our net...

My parents retired in northern Arizona 5 years ago and want to come back to central Ohio. They are having a rough time finding a reputable mover to take their things. At first they thought about using PODs, but they don't go to Prescott Arizona. Then, Upack was an option, but again, only service...

I get what you guys are saying, but I don't quite understand how they could figure out how much tax is owed. For example: A traditional IRA makes sense that you pay income tax and a penalty. That money has never been taxed. However, the Roth was already taxed. Let's say I put $30k into my Roth...

It seems every site I check out, they state if you withdraw from a Roth IRA before 59 1/2 you will be hit with a 10% penalty and you "may" owe income taxes. I'm in the process of potentially moving a bunch of funds from a rollover IRA to my Roth IRA (24% bracket). However, I have a plan that...

I can top that one. I ordered a replacement part for my smoker 2 weeks ago. It shipped with FedEx from Utah to Ohio on 8/31. It stopped at 8 different locations in 7 different states before it found itself on my porch. 9 days to get a box from 1600 miles away. One time it went from Kentucky, to...

They're looking in the Bluffton area, which is near Savannah, GA.

A close friend is looking to buy a house in SC soon. He showed me a few houses he and his wife are considering, and I noticed that some of them have no rain gutters and some have a gutter installed "here or there". Here in Ohio, we have gutters all around our houses. Just curious...

What do you guys think about ONTX?

I had an order ready to submit at open this morning for 5000 share of IBIO. My manager gave me a call, and I had to run to a site as an emergency. I just got back home to my laptop, and see it's now up over 25%. Lovely.

You need upwards of 5000 IU/day (from sun, food and supplements) to maintain a healthy Vitamin D status (25-hydroxy test). While the 1000 IU/day is helping, you should really get tested (if you haven't) to see how much it is helping. Labcorp and other labs usually show a reference range from...

Up 85% from when I posted. I was going to drop $10k on them. SOB!

I'm a total market type of investor and have only purchased a handful of individual stocks in my life. Most of them did well, but it was purely luck. I'm not very savvy when it comes to this stuff, and stumbled upon Akorn stock and was shocked at its current price. I did a bunch of contracting...
