Thank you all for the feedback. I do love PenFed's service and I feel they are an excellent company. With that said, I'll be going with a local WA state broker. Others I know personally vouch for them and they quoted me several thousand dollars less than PenFed. Who knows, I may end up with...

Hey Folks, I'm out house shopping and trying to decide who to use for a 30yr fixed jumbo loan. 5+ years ago, PenFed was excellent for new home loans -- but nowadays they have 1% origination fees and seem comparable to regular big banks. I'm wondering if E-R knows of a secret credit union or...

Your question seems more appropriate for elitetrader.com than early-retirement.com. As others have said IB is a good choice for frequent trading. I've used MBTrading.com in the past as well, though their commission structure is now higher than in the past. If you don't like IB / direct...

now only if they'd let you open 20 or 30 accounts

Yeah I don't know what I was thinking when I posted this question 4-5 years ago. Who wants to work on their vacation? :facepalm:

I have my eFund parked at SmartyPig earning a meager 2.01% APY.

When I took that test in junior high school it told me that I should either be a lawyer or a farmer... I ended up as a computer programmer. :) Regarding the OP - she needs to pick that job that makes her think "I can't believe they're actually paying me to do this."

I mostly splurge on gadgets that I could live without. Here are the splurges that I can remember over the past 6-7 years Bad splurges Roomba; I thought this would be a neat toy - it broke after a few months, impossible to get a return from the company. what a horrible waste of money...

+1 A friend of mine only played 1 year for the Mariners before being injured badly enough to not be able to play professional sports again. He now is a public high school baseball coach - with a much smaller salary. Luckily he did save almost all of his 1st year salary so he's in a good...

While reading an interview of a 71 year old retired shop teacher on the getrichslowly blog, I came across "WWOOF" for the first time; WWOOF - World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms, is a program where people volunteer to work on a farm for a few weeks in exchange for room and board. This...

Go read one of Ed Rosenthal's books and tell me that again with a straight face. O0 P.S., legality aside, home growers can't grow in dense urban environments without seriously bothering their neighbors - the stuff smells - try to imagine just 1 little plant yielding 3 pounds of the stuff. :flowers:

the olsen data on the server could be behind the times. a "zdump -v /usr/share/zoneinfo/<Khan's Selected Zone>" would let us know.

Congratulations on the base salary hike

Wow, I'm glad I don't work at a company with that culture. Firing someone sucks, but "never pass on your trash" - deal with your own bad hires and don't schlep the problem off on another person to finish. :flowers:

Thanks for the link. That site was very useful - I had been toying with the idea of replacing my $13.52/mo Comcast "Limited" Cable package with a $30 indoor antenna; but according to that site, only 4 channels would come in for my location. I guess I'll stick with paying $162.24/yr for a few...
