I work in a military base, where luckily, there is a free instructor for many sports. I joint CrossFit class 7 years ago, and never let go of it. I am 54 now and I weight 10 lbs lighter than I was at 25. I do CrossFit most days of a week, supplemented with swimming and yoga. With a...

I have 2 short ones that my kids have to stick it on the wall: 1. Work first, play later. 2. Take time to do it right.

I love fishing. It is my thing. I take 2 weeks off every year just to fish. The exhilaration of free diving and pulling a lobster out of a hole. Few years ago I spotted a huge snakehead and after a couple missed I caught it. It was 0.5 lbs less than a world record back then. Adrenaline...

My hardcore fishing friends envy to the fact that I catch key west lobster, Alaska king salmon and Washington DC near record size snakehead fish in a span of 30 days. No where else in the world one could do that.

Love Costco tire. My wife had a flat tire today. Took it to Costco. They cannot fix it. I bought the set 2 years ago. New tire costs $180. They gave us $140 credit. With $10 installed fee, $50 out of pocket for a new tire! They rotate and balance all four. No appointment, it took them...

Yes, he max out rIRA (6k) and put in 15% of salary for 401k (12k). Thus taken full advantage of company matching.

I have a nephew (of my dw) who just graduated from college last summer with a computer science degree which is in high demand in our area. Upon graduation, he took a job paid 65k. After 3 months a megacorp offers 85k and he couldn’t refuse. He had spent about $500/month during college. So he...

Nicely done. Wonder what’s his reaction?

@gooddog - yes, the goal is not to take many breaks. I just took enough break to sip water. My time is about "middle of the pack" compare to my fellow workout group. Those young and extremely fits can finish around 20 minutes. I do crossfit for 5 years now and love it. In crossfit, you can...

Lenindb, I’m intrigued about your all inclusive investment. Do you mind to share more? I have traveled there about 3-4 times and I found it very pleasant, kids loved it.

I’m almost identical to your situation. I’m 51, with a nest egg of $2.1M and a paid off house. I plan to retire in 7 years at MRA 58. No regret on saving “too much”, because I live life on my term. I did ask this same question on this forum 8 years ago! My only suggestion is consider Roth...

That’s a noble and generous move. Lot of people can find way to use that money, even if they don’t need it.

Sorry for your loss. thanks for sharing.
