    What a bunch of whiny babies I’ve never seen a forum quite like this. Like a bunch of grumpy old men sitting around trying to find something to complain about. Life is too short

    Another...when to retire article

    Gee! What’s your game? I just saw it on Google and thought it was interesting and passed it along. In case you were unaware, this is a financial forum. Move on if it upsets you. You really are joyless.

    Are you still an athlete?

    I do a lot of cage fighting. Kidding! Ran cross country all through HS. Played varsity HS golf starting as a freshman. Which did not endear me to the older juniors and seniors. Played golf with customers for 15 years for a Fortune 500 company. Would leave for Doral on Thursday...

    Friction in using CC points

    Our only CC is Southwest for flight points. Two direct flights daily to Fort Myers, and many other options. I wonder if it would actually be more cost effective if I just went with Fidelity instead????????

    “Honey, you and the kids go ahead an drive the 14 year old car with 330,000 miles and obsolete parts availability on the 6 hour drive down to Tennessee to see your sister. Good luck, call if you make it.” Yikes, having an old car with all those miles isn’t a badge of honor for me. It’s...

    So I cross the line... Should I tell others?

    Same here. I didn’t give a crap. Gave a 6 month advanced written notice as well. Hoping to push them to a package, which happened. In the big picture, you think it’s important now, but it’s just a freaking job in the end. In 3 months they won’t even remember you. My company and the current...

    When To Replace High Mileage Car?

    We have two vehicles. Mine is purchased ....cash. Wife’s has always been a 24 or 36 month Honda lease, usually an Accord or CRV. Zero cash down and an unnoticeable monthly payment gives both of us peace of mind. Don’t want her to be out on the road shopping somewhere and a breakdown. Honda...

    What are your plans for your children's inheritance?

    Hilarious! I remember reading years ago about some old guy that left a quarter of his cash to girls at a strip club naming each girl. His family was furious but still lost in court. Bambi, Raven, and Amber got to keep the money.
