First mow of the year. Weed whipped and blew the hardscapes down. Tire broke on the mower, but I've had a spare sitting in my rafters so it was an easy 1/2" socket fix. Replaced my bicycle tire tube that had a whole, and put a new tire on the back. Off to the races again. Took the kids to...

Our resident ZeroCool from the movie "Hackers," lol. I used to have a selenium web driver script that could snag all my data after some logins...but since the advent and force of MFA, I can't seem to find a sensible way around it. Would be nice to get an API Auth token and pull the data with...

Jan '24 : +1.35% Feb '24: +5.1% unfortunately trailing the SP500 with my massive position in AAPL and the bit of a hit that's taken. 100% equities, ~66% Magnificent 7, 34% AAPL Mar' 24 +5%. Flat month with AAPL dragging me down. People warned me not to be so exposed to one equity, but here I am...

Over 200,000 posts from the top five. That's pretty incredible. Would be interesting to normalize to totalPosts for each of the durations and average it out, see how much of an "addict" these folks really are ;)

Insane. I don't think I have a hobby I spend that much per month on besides travel averaged out throughout the year. I really want to buy a spa, hardly "workout" related, but therapeutic. That's more BTD though.

For folks getting the transparent bar, its supposed to be an ad. Your ad-block is making the ad a transparent bar in it's best "college try' of not annoying you with the content of the ad. A small price to pay?

Per month, that's tough. I bike, run, run on our treadmill, and lift free weights. I've only paid for a gym membership a few months of my life, prefer to do it on my time and my plan. So electricity for the treadmill, I finally bought my first new bike tire after 10 yrs of off/on riding...

I like that you can just cut and paste images now. That might be bad though, especially in the Funny Joke Thread.

New Posts Competition anyone? I've valued the insight from each of these member's. Let's Go!

I hope you get at least some days on the beach with the Pina Colada.

Bingo. I feel so much more pure and healthy since I quit drinking. I hope I have the right support later in life if dementia sets in to stay pure. Time will tell. What an insightful article!

We are in the "kids keep us busy" season of life in our 40s, and rent like you mentioned up on Alexandria each summer, then we spend Labor Day weekend at Grand View Lodge (VERY NICE!) A friend invites us up to another cabin for a weekend and then we meet family in Wisconsin Dells once each...

In the calculator I built myself I have the dividends just included as part of the total return. investment savings almost implies there is a value that is being saved by participating in investing??? Or perhaps a "savings" or "money market" type of investment account?? I might need more...

Health became my addiction when I quit drinking. I realized I was basically just posioning myself everytime, I never blacked out, but my consumption levels were unhealthy, and some of my decision making under the influence was quastionable at best. With a family history, I decided my life...

Lol. I feel ya Frayne! I've been exposed to a couple nude beaches and stumbled upon the Garden of Eden down in Key West :facepalm: And often wondered what the allure was to keep it all off and exposed. It is likely a sense of more freedom for some, just not my cup of tea. And I'm not into...

As far as tools, build a google sheet with what-if calculations bond vs no bond. I am 100% equities, until I die. Unless something better comes along. But SORR is a thing, so if you don't have bonds you need cash in down markets to avoid selling low... Anywho, back to your RMD. If you...

Doable. Keep the taxes low, but maximize and leverage that Roth as best you can! We may be retiring around the same time. You never know what kind of curve balls life may throw though. Edit to ask, how much is currently in taxable % wise. We have about ~37% of our money in taxable...

I went to Jackson MO Brookside Park. Nice veterans memorial park with food trucks and live music. Went with dad and my son for his golden birthday which was the next day. Someone mentioned the polite clouds. It's one of the cooler set of people you could meet at a totality event. It was the...

1st took 15 yrs. Started saving at 26, hit 1MM last year. Hoping the second 1MM will come in less than 5 yrs. We will see. DCA at least $1,000/week...sometimes more, sometimes less.

So far looks like SOME clouds possible where I will be headed near MO. That is today's forecast. I can't stress totality traffic enough. IF you are in the path and are leaving the area or trying to get into the area any few hours before or after the event, traffic will be and not limited to...

I want to talk to the guy with the Ridgid pickup box in the SpaceX lot. I bet he has wrenched on some cool stuff. :dance: I need to check this out now. I've been to Vandenberg, Cape, and adding SpaceX would be a no-brainer.

Had an oddly similar experience while visiting a friend downtown. Was approached by a guy who was crying, had an interview the next day but missed the bus out of the city for the night. I told him if he could sit tight when I am done visiting my friend I would give him a ride home. He was...

Define "rich". Rich, and famous...or just rich and discreet. I would take the latter if I had some choice of the matter, but a guy can't wait around. And when you know, you know. I asked for a prenup. Denied. We still married . I had drive and ambition. So does DW though. We make a...

Ohh, a deeper dive, I like it! Well even more spectacular if we keep this pace.
