    I found a Growth Mutual Fund that has beat its peers for 90% of the last 20 years- Wh

    Yep, we all share that kind of information here. And if I found a fund I liked I would share the sticker symbol so people could pick it apart, because that’s what I would want. Critique on something I am missing with that fund perhaps and Believe it or not it has happened before. As a matter of...

    Single F 53 No kids $700,000 investments with low expenses annually, can I retire?

    +1. Not sure how this would work for you without some partial income. I have a friend that’s in the same boat that is putting away enough money in a 401(k) and IRA to use as income for her retirement years. But she needs about 15 to 20 K a year to qualify for ACA.

    Gross inconsistencies concerning money (our thoughts and behaviors)

    During Covid, when you couldn’t get white paper towels, I would buy the shop blue paper towels. They’re much stronger, thicker, and certainly more durable than regular paper towels. I started using a folded up blue towel as a insulation blanket for my gin and tonic glass. They were so strong...

    Blow That Dough! -2021

    You have the warranty until the time/miles run out regardless of whether it was leased or not. At least my understanding. I bought a 2016 Audi A5 off of lease for 24K from Carmax. Brought back to CarMax just about two years later with 6000 extra miles and they offered me 25K for it. And I never...

    Edward Jones vrs Vanguard

    I have talked to an EJ representative in the past that came door-to-door, and he seem like a very nice guy, family, background, etc. However I question whether he knew that the deal he was trying to sell was not for me, after I explained my situation. There was no way I was going to fall for...

    Modelling when to take Social Security and other pensions

    True, and I won’t be taking SS till 70 anyway, because I am playing the reduce tax strategy, Roth conversions, best guesses/fears on tax rates. However when I am in my 80s, I am guessing the decision I make now will be less significant to me. But that’s probably the case with a lot of decisions...
