While inflation is a worry to be sure, I really don't think economists are worried about hyperinflation in USA. I wouldn't lose that much sleep over it. I suppose anything is possible. That Harold Camping guy could be correct on his new prediction. Rapture is coming Oct 21! Sell everything!

I didn't read the whole thread... But I'd say take a couple years off. Don't consider it a retirement, but do some low cost traveling for a couple years and see the world. That way, you have a good excuse for not working when you seek future employment, and you can get the bug out of your...

As a Chicago native all my life, I came in to say that Lou Malnati’s is by far the better pizzaria. I'm not exactly sure why people like Giordano's.

I'm a really really new investor. I want to buy a few individual stocks/mutual funds. The prices seem really low right now, and I know the bottom of this market is nowhere in sight. I just want to gamble with 2k or so to start and I'm curious what internet trading site I should use. I have...

Your stomach will get used to a plan if you stick with it... well, at least the pangs will be less intense. I strongly recommend popping about 5 raw almonds if you get the pangs really bad. It helps for me!

My BMI is 23!!!! 5'10, 160, but I'm 27 and I can run a 5k in 18:30 and I can bench 225 about 8 times (it used to be way better back in the day:-((((((( ) But I'm not FI, so you guys win!!!!!!!!! Damn it! Care to trade?

Also, what do you mean when you say, "wrapped in annuities?" Remember, I'm a newbie, and I have trouble grasping the concept of a VA much less the term annuity. I realize you are saying this means there are additional fees, but do the annuities exist only to rob me or is their some goal they...

1) no 2) yes I do have the power to change things... This whole annuity thing kind of scares me. I don't want to get ripped off when I'm putting 10% of my salary in this thing. We have already signed everything. :-(. Is it just a little mistake or like putting my whole retirement in a VA...

Okay... That's kind of what I was reading that companies can rip you off with fees which is silly when there are clearly companies that can charge 1/10th of the fee. I know many here recommend Vanguard, T Rowe Price, and Fidelity, but I don't believe these companies offer 401k programs, only...

Hi, I just started a 401k with my small firm through The Hartford. They offer the following funds: AIM Real Estate AllianceBernstein International Value Lord Abbett Small Cap Blend Fidelity Advisor Leveraged Company Stock (Mid Cap) American Funds The Growth Fund of America (Large Cap)...

;D

Thank you for the comments. The reason I really like this forum is pretty much everyone on the forum has one of two goals: to become FI or to help someone else become FI. It's interesting how the probably the most unbiased advice you can get comes from strangers. I'm not a corporate attorney...

Hey I've been lurking on this forum for about a month, and I'll probably continue to stay as a lurker, but I would like to introduce myself. I'm a single 27 YO attorney, and I've been working for about 2 years now. I'm not wealthy by any means, and I need to start making some better...
