We are building a new home in 2024. I'm looking for advice / ideas on what technology I should include or prepare for. For example, I'll add a 50amp outlet in the garage for future charging of an EV, even though I don't own one yet. Would you include anything special for future fiber optic...

I have a very rudimentary understanding of options trading and strategies, but no practical experience. I would like to learn more before I put a toe in the water. Are their books or online resources the options experts here would recommend?

My DW has had a flexible universal life insurance policy since 1988. We’ve been making automatic monthly payments of $25 for years. I’ve pretty much ignored the policy but just now looked at it. It has a guaranteed interest rate of 4.5%, which seems great now, but the prime rate was 10%...

Feeling old today. Been surfing on and off 25+ years. After about a year off I find I just don't have the same flexibility. My pop-up is crap. I can't seem to get my lead foot (goofy foot) in the right position. What do do? Stretch? Yoga? Floor practice? I'm 64 and hoping to surf...

Greetings! I feel I’m behind schedule for FIRE. I’ve been investing in available 401Ks, IRAs, and some taxable accounts for 25+ years, but didn’t have a real clear plan in place in the beginning. I’m now paying much closer attention to asset allocation, expense ratios, etc. I’m debt free...

I haven't retired yet but I'm only a few short years away. I'm getting a good handle on my spending and have almost 20 years of data in Quicken. For those of you in retirment, how do you plan for major expenditures? I would be replacing a car every 8 - 10 years, spending $10,000+ on a new...

Attending the Masters is high on my bucket list. I've tried to get tickets through the lottery for several years with no success. Has anyone purchased a Masters package? They are expensive but it may be the only way to get in. For those who have gone, is it really the religious golf...
