That was cool!!

Agreed. Many marriages do end in divorce and at age 29 the OP doesn't have an insignificant chance of it happening to him. Even in community property states like CA inheritances are separate property unless commingled so I second the observation of figuring this out and understanding any risks...

My wife and I are also DINKs and have been seriously discussing getting divorced because of the higher income marriage penalties.

If I'm fully paperless where do I look to find the notification that they will start charging a fee if I don't have a linked account? Where do they show the rewards is being reduced from 5% to 3%? When I look here: https://online9.penfed.org/PenFedOnline/Forms/ProductsAndRates/Loans.aspx I...

Here is another vote for Ally. I got tired of chasing after the highest yields (have used discover, ING, e-trade, etc) and Ally while not always the #1 is always very close to it. I enjoy the user interface on Ally, works well with quicken, and the few times I've contacted customers service...

Does Fidelity provide personal return information farther back than 5 years? My biggest complaint with Vanguard is that they only provide personal return information for the most recent 5 years.

P90X legs and back with ab ripper x Mid day 2 mile walk about 3.8mph pace.

What your wrote and what you meant don't agree. If you look at the bolded word you would realize you have a type. As you need sufficient participation from "low" income folks in order for the "high" income folks to receive the match.

My family has had great success with Bran based recipes from the book: "The 8 Week Cholesterol Cure" I believe the newer version emphasis a more low carb approach now but the older (original?) version had an emphasis on Bran. My dad received advise to go on cholesterol medication but held it...

You are correct that the employer contributions do not have a "compounding" effect. I had the same reactions as you when I read the article, so i ran the math in excel using IRR. However, the part above that doesn't make sense to me I highlighted in bold. If I run a series of cashflows over...

I'm waiting for the original poster to clarify if the 11% returns are including his cash or just the performance of his equity investments.

Pretty sure in the US you can't use deadly force to defend your property either right? Only if you feel you feel personally threatened?

Thanks for sharing. Fiarcompanies releases some great vids. Agreed. I'm pretty surprised on how quick folks are to react negatively to the video.

I thought VNR is a company. Yeah it's named Vanguard Natural Resources but it's not a Vanguard fund...

I often wonder this too. I personally grew up never seeing anything butchered and have made the joke before that if I had to kill and butcher my own animals I'd probably become a vegetarian. I think upbringing would have a lot to do with the answer.

As others have suggested consulting or temporary controller/CFO work could be a good route. This is what I did after deciding to leave public accounting and not having found the next job I wanted to try. I left on good terms and got several referrals from my prior partners on consulting...

What kind of trailer/boat? Most small boats that I see with 5 wire plugs on the trailer is because the trailer has surge brakes and the 5th wire prevents their activation when trying to back up.

This is so true! I did a sabbatical over the summer of 2010. It was amazing I'd get up on average at least an hour earlier than I did for work because there was so much fun to do. Besides I could always take a nap latter if needed!! lol. Sadly, retirement is a loooong ways off so I won't be...

5.6% YTD 90% equities 10% bonds Almost all the equities are index funds.

My wife recently lost her wallet in the parking lot at Disneyland. As soon as she got to the gate she realized it as her annual pass was in the wallet. She immediately rushed back to the car and while she was scanning her path back she was 99% sure she dropped it getting out of the car. The...

This discussion is drifting into the topic that had great discussion in this thread: http://www.early-retirement.org/forums/f38/why-doctors-die-differently-60257.html The articles in the first and second post are great discussions on the extremely tough topic of quality of life vs quantity of...

How does that compare with pre P90X?

Doesn't seem unreasonable that it will cost slightly more now ($13.5M a year) but saves how much when those same people reach retirement??? That is the more important consideration.

Imputed rent income sounds scary but I just can't see this being applied in the US anytime soon. I sounds close to the "3rd rail" topic of the mortgage deduction. Either of these would potentially kill housing prices.

Good for them even if I wished they were staying on the air. I am not a regular weekend radio listener but always enjoyed their show when I caught it!
