I bet your situation is very common. It certainly is similar to mine... (Assets, retirement timing, expenses, AA, etc) I'm optimistic on your plan. I'd bet your a little scared to leave jobs paying a quarter million annually... to start spending down your savings.. Barring a huge market...

Im a fan and watching these discussions closely as I'm done buying purely fuel supplied cars. Done. Will never buy another gas only vehicle. My next will be hybrid or plug in EV. However, you can could call me Pragmatic Pete.... I just have to take a realistic view on situations to determine...

Not sure what to believe on all this. The virus is certainly making headlines. Even Marketwatch blaming a market drop on it.... I've read over an over again that the masks do zero at preventing the transmission and they should only be worn by those already infected... Doctors where them to...

I have a little different opinion on the "if you enjoy your work, keep doing it..." philosophy. You might consider exchanging that office time for getting healthy time...I"ll explain.. I know its anecdotal, but my neighbor (lead partner in a fancy Atl lawfirm) worked a few more years because...

Hey Diver. We are planning our own nomadic breakaway in the coming years. Boat in St. Augustine being prepped... At any rate. Doing some research. Have you heard of "Diver Dan" supplement insurance? If so, any opinions or experiences? My understanding is they airlift you back to the US for...

LOL. Yeah, these are the same peeps that feel like they must post a daily announcement on Facebook that they've met the love of their life and are so blessed... Then, everything goes quiet for a few days... and their status changes back to "single"...

What really needs to be part of that bill is to make SSA tax thresholds indexed for inflation. It was set at $33k (individual) in 1984 and has not changed since. $33k in 1984 is not the same as $33k in 2019. If it was indexed, your income threshold that triggers SSA taxes would go up...

As a motorcycle rider... Next to a teen and a cell phone behind the wheel, deer strike is my biggest fear. Have had some close calls over the years. ....and for the record... when I do go down....I will exit this world just like I came into this world... bloody and screaming...

My last physical at my ACA enabled practice was a complete waste of time. Sat in a room full of coughing sick people for an hour and got 3 minutes of the DR's time.... Ive had enough of this ACA managed tail wagging the dog healthcare! DPC Dr. is out of pocket monthly expense of $50. But, he...

Little different reason to quit... You say you want to lose 40 pounds. I'm assuming you are overweight by at least that much. Do your loved ones a favor and make your new job a passion to change your lifestyle and lose the weight. Don't go for the lose it quick quackery. Make a commitment to...

Atlanta is pretty good about waiting for ya. So, I ALWAYS stop to pee before boarding. If your connecting flight landed with a reasonable amount of time to go terminal to terminal (as little as 10 minutes), they typically will wait on you. At least Delta does. I used to run like OJ Simpson...

C to F: double it, add 20. (Not exact, but easy to do and remember) Distances: Think track and field, which has converted in the US. A 5k run is 3.1 miles. A 10k run is 6.2 miles. Car indicates 50 k/h, you're going 31 m/h. Car indicates 100 k/h, you're going 62 m/h. But, who really cares, if...

My bad. I mixed up the alias. Was trying to mask their real names and ended up only confusing the matters. Yeah, the horrible conditions were for the grasshopper. To answer the question: What did I not like about the Ant (high-cotton) facility? It was primarily costs. It was crazy expensive...

That's illegal and soon to get much attention from Washington. My megacord CEO had meeting w/ the new president and immediately issued a mandate about avoiding hiring or training offshore workers. The hammer is about to fall on offshoring. Don't go political. This is all info relative to the...

Worked my way through college as kitchen crew for a restaurant chain was hard. Usually finished at 1am to 2am and headed for the bars and bottle clubs. Getting up the next days for class was hard, but somehow I managed to get a degree. Benefits in that job were the people I got to know...
