That or 70% of people here believe they are younger than they are. Subconsciously they know their age, but they haven't looked in the mirror for a while. Haha! Seriously though, it's good to have a mix of people, early or not, they provide a lot of good info and entertainment.

Our little Ruben has doggles. We decided that since he liked riding with his head out the window at 60 mph and his eyelids were on the verge of peeling off, we'd best do something to protect his eyes. Now he can bask in the wind as we cruise down country roads.

1B, I'm on a roll! I think I'll retire early from using binary and hexadecimal systems. Today is my last day!

Lol. Well that's embarrassing. I guess I get a lonely 0 on the binary comprehension scale. It's been so long since I've used it. It should have been 11011. Glad I could provide some humor!

There are 10 people who understand my age. Those who do and those who don't. 1111 Or for those more literate in hex, 1C

Ok, good to know. It's not worth all the trouble for $10. Thanks!

But if there are weekly Ira deposits occurring, wouldn't they count?

My wife worked too little time to receive credit with her pension the first year she was there. The dollar amount is just under $100. I was working on taxes and realized I should "roll" this into our Roth IRA. What are the rules we have to follow? This checked was cashed at our bank many...

Do you feel it was worth the 99 big ones? DW and I are looking into this also. We figured it could provide some insight into family genetics as 3 of 4 of my grandparents died at a young age. All were heavy drinkers and smokers, so I don't know what long term problems lie within the family.

After doing a bit of reading I did confirm that I can collect my pension immediately upon termination of employment. I can take the lump some of my contributions and interest, or leave it in the account to collect the full monthly benefit. It seems that the 72t rule is not a terrible option as...

Is there something special that quicken does that firecalc or any other online planners can't do? I don't know anything about quicken or it's products to be honest. At this point the only material book wise that I've read is the bogleheads guide to investing, and the four pillars. I knew how...

I was thinking of where I got the notion that I could collect early, and it was actually from the pensions benefit calculator. It pulls numbers from my statements (the calc is specific to me) and I can plug in numbers like final average salary, year of retirement, what survivorship option I...

Pensions seem secure. They just had a meeting in Harrisburg about pension reform. They said they want to change the plan for new employees and potentially current employees going forward. They wanted to make it into a 401k like program. They said all earned benefits would remain untouched...

As DW and I sock away money for a very early retirement, we wonder if we have already put too much into tax sheltered accounts. At what point do you decide that you need more money in non sheltered accounts? Here is our situation. Ages 27 and 28. Expected retirement age 37 and 38. Yearly...

DW and I pay about 1300 a year, DD says a little over 18,000. I was surprised to see how much our plan actually costs. Funny thing is, we probably only cost the insurance company between 500 and 800 a year. We don't go to the doc unless there's a problem. Wish I could just take all that...
