It is always interesting to see what people have appreciated over the past 12 months. And for this cohort it has a great balance of experiential pursuits as well as healthcare related "upgrades" and such, along with toys and pets etc. Keep them coming! Scubamax

It is now year end, and time to reflect on what your favorite purchase was over the past 12 months. I had a hard time coming up with much (Although we did spend a lot this year). I guess if I had to narrow it down it was tickets to the Guinness Storehouse in Dublin this past spring. It was a...

We put in a whole house generator a few years ago. It was a BTD project, but decided to go top of the line all the way. We purchased our own propane tank and buried it. 1000 gallons. If you are going for 250 or 500 look at 1000 as a viable option since you are looking for power...

We like NS so much we have a seasonal property here! Lots of good advice and tips so far. There is so much to see and do I would not do PEI or Newfoundland on this trip. Feel free to PM me for Cape Breton specifics!

As the saying goes…..Time IN the market beats timing the market!

We enjoyed the Dylan Hotel. Great quiet location near a lot of good places to eat.

Exactly! Its a lifestyle change more than just a diet adjustment.

A couple of comments and a suggestion... 1) Read the ingredients in those wraps. A LOT of them have hydrogenated fats/oils in them which are really bad for you. Plus for me I cannot tolerate a lot of fillers that they have like soy, guar gum, xanthan gum and the like. Oh, and I can't do...

The week after Christmas is always a time to do some reflection. I typically don't ask myself what was my favorite thing I got in the past year, but somehow the thought crossed my mind and thought it would be a great topic. For me, it was a subscription to YouTube Premium. I was on the fence...

I have had a Dewalt Cordless chainsaw for a few years now and really like it for light/medium duty work. It is great to have as a “grab and go” tool and as long as I have a charged battery it always starts. Along the way I have acquired other Dewalt battery trimmers and cutters which work well...

And state laws (as well as federal) are always open to being amended by legislative and judicial means. So I have kept my 401k in place to hedge against a state law change scenario, however remote.

A few years ago I the lyrics “I am older than I once was but I am younger than that now” finally made sense to me. Basically the more wisdom I have I discover the less I really know. (YMMV).

Quit mega corp in 2014 and kept it in 401k. As mentioned earlier the most bulletproof in a bankruptcy situation plus it has good choices ( including stable value) and low fees. Plus keeping it at a bit of arms length keeps me out of trouble. YMMV.

I play it daily before I make coffee. Very fun and gets the mind going first thing.

Thanks for the tip on Salomon.
