What you are describing is not that rural. For instance where I live. My whole county has 2 stop lights. Hospitals are 25 and 40 minutes, walmart (only box store) is 25mins. Nearest grocery is 15 mins. Restaurants are 15-20 mins. I love it. Wouldn't have it any other way. That being said I do...

Thanks yall. That's exactly what I did and it worked out.

I have a weird pension with the state. In addition to my basic benefit, I will get a hazard duty supplement until age 67 when SS kicks in. How would I enter this into firecalc? simple numbers for simplicity's sake: basic benefit=1000 per month for life Hazard duty supplement= 700 per month...

Here's the thing about day trading. I can see it working out if 85% of your focus is risk management. Cut your losses as soon as a trade turns against you. (admit you were wrong and get out quickly) and allow your winners to run a little more when they do what you thought they would do. Set a...

Ordered these wine glasses for my wife's birthday.

I thought about that and maybe the same with AAPL. With so many people out of work how many new $1000 phones will they be selling. I think both companies subscription services will keep them afloat.

I currently own neither of these stocks. I have $2000 to deploy. Would you buy one over the other of these or split them 50/50 ? This would be in my brokerage account. Thanks

My walking around money is usually less than $50. However I always have $200 stashed either in the car or a hidden pocket in my wallet. I call that my "Redneck Emergency Fund"

Honestly I don't know the answer to that question. I can assume that Dad is taking small amounts of net income from the farm maybe on an "as needed basis" but I don't know that for a fact. Also I actually can only ballpark what his pension is, but since I am in the same system I know how they...

Thank you all for the replies. I huge part of me wants to just be there for them but excuse myself from offering any actual advice. It is after all entirely their call. Nothing is wrong with CD's. I have CD's in my wife's IRA. But CD's should be a part of your investment strategy not the whole...

My parents (mom specifically) just inherited approx. 100k after taxes. They are meeting with a :facepalm:FA:facepalm: next week. The typical investment strategy for my family for generations has been to put all of their money into bank CD's.VERY conservative. VERY scared to put principal at any...

Thanks Travel, That was my concern. What makes something a tax managed fund? ... I would assume that a tax managed fund would belong in a Roth? Correct?

I have approx. 12k in an old employer plan that I am going to be rolling over into a Vanguard IRA. My wife has a IRA with her only holding being a Target retirement 2040 fund. I really like this fund for her and was thinking about just investing my 12k into a 2040 as well My question is this...

Not sure if this qualifies or not but...when I was 28 (31)now I began to think about and look for a job in law enforcement. I quit my job in IT at 29 and went into law enforcement. Been very happy ever since. I think that my current contentment comes from having a job I love and my son being...

Well you could say that, but I only take folks to a select few destinations... And they don't get to choose...:laugh:

When I walk out to my driveway I get in my car, grab my radio and say "on duty", and I am at work... ... I am a cop with a take home car!

Does anyone know anything about AXA equitable? They are coming into my school system pushing their 403-b's. Anyone have any experience with them? fees,performance,etc.? I have an old TSA with ING through employer that is earning approx 4% which beats the pants off of most things right now but...

I have about 2000 of "play money" that I want to invest in some individual stocks. I already have a vanguard IRA account. Could I open a seperate vanguard account and trade stocks with vanguard or are there good reasons to open that "play" account somewhere else like a Scottrade or the like? For...

So... did anyone take the plunge and invest in BP? Either with stock or options...

52 week range is 44.62 - 62.38 Today price is 48.35 How low will this thing go? If they don't stop the leak in the next two weeks will it fall off the table? http://www.energyandcapital.com/articles/bp-stock-selloff-is-overdone/1141

I just rolled over DW's old SEP IRA with American Funds (with 3 funds in it) to Vanguards Target Retirement 40 fund ... After reading all the good reviews about Vanguard here I just decided to pull the trigger. We'll see how it works out... I have my Roth with American funds as well... Might...

It was made out to the dealer. I told the bank which car I was interested in and the dealership it was located at. If they didn't come down to that price. I would have just ripped up the check.

Ok here's my experience with cars. The last car I bought at a dealership (used) was a 2002 Mustang GT in late 2002 with 8000 miles on it. I had done a ton of research and found a price I would be happy paying ... so... I came in to the dealership with a cashier's check in hand for 18k. Car was...
