    Poll:Do you Own your home outright?

    Would anyone on here pay off my 2.25% 30 year fixed rate mortgage with 28 years left? Peace of mind is ok, but not with the current fixed income spread. It's free money. I have more than enough to pay it off, but won't.

    Poll:Do you Own your home outright?

    Every time I plug in paying off my mortgage, my model yells at me and tells me I'm an idiot.

    Update on private equity investment

    I just filled out a form that said I had $XX of assets. Don't remember what the $XX amount was but I had plenty in taxable account to qualify.

    Update on private equity investment

    My best friend referred me to a private equity group and I invested 5% (at the time) of my retirement savings into a startup group developing a new drug. I got in phase I. They have just gotten phase II approval from the FDA and designated a breakthrough drug. No other drug does what their's...

    Dividend Yield vs Total Return Income in Retirement

    To the OP, I normally chime in on these types of threads and poo poo dividends, but I thought I might be more helpful. MO is a machine. My best friend was a VP there. I just looked at their financials and they can crank out some serious free cash flow. Only blip they have had recently is...

    Again, per their prospectus, none of the American Funds have beat the S&P 500.

    Things growing up have fallen by the wayside

    The Sears catalogue. Especially the Christmas one. That was awesome.

    Things growing up have fallen by the wayside

    One thing I am glad has fallen by the wayside are some of the things people used to say that were racist but accepted. Our small town was one color and one religion and some folks didn't give it one thought to say things that today would be abhorrent.

    At what rate would you annuitize (SPIA)

    I would gladly take a 15 year period certain SPIA @ 3% annual return with a CPI-W COLA. I guess that would be around 11.9% right now. Let me know if you find one.

    Leaving EJ for Fidelity- what to know?

    From the American Funds prospectus dated 1 Mar 2022, page 6: 12.18% Class A shares total return since 1/1/1934 12.72% S&P 500 total return since 1/1/1934 https://www.capitalgroup.com/individual/pdf/shareholder/MFGEPRX-004-555421.pdf And they didn't do any better over 1, 5 or 10 years. And...

    Dark Matter Image

    My current theory is that dark matter/energy exists in another dimension we cannot observe directly. Kindof how gravity in a 3D universe would influence the 2D universe but the observer in the 2D universe would not be able to see the 3D object but could observe the effects of the 3D object...

    An Edward Jones AMA

    I just spent the last 15 minutes reviewing the fee schedule docs on the EJ site. I still have no clue how much the total fees would be for $100k invested in a 60/40 portfolio. I did see they steal 10% of your dividend reinvestment. And charge you for dollar cost averaging, although I couldn't...

    Honda Pilot or Hyundai Palisade or Kia Telluride?

    Dark Matter Image

    I am confident we will eventually figure this all out. If not, we will be doomed to interplanetary travel and maybe some interstellar travel. That is depressing a future. I am talking epochs here, not centuries or millennia.

    Dark Matter Image

    Einstein's theories of relativity were pretty far out there when he published them. If ER.org had been around then, I'm sure we would have poo poo'd them just like this thread. We have a lot of cool stuff now because we better understand space time and gravity (GPS). We'll figure it out...
