Hi All, I was wondering about dividends and if I have this right. When I buy a stock at $10/Share that pays regular dividends, the dividend yield quoted is the yield-to-date based off of the "current" price, correct? But if I bought the stock to hold long term, and it is a company with a...

Hey Jackson. I completely agree here. Oh. Already have a Roth and plan to max it out starting next year (maybe this year, depending). I need to first get my student loans paid off. I've killed $22k so far and have less than $11k to go. I'm paying just shy of 7% on it, so I want to pay it off as...

Yep, Yep - Well Maybe Hey Kcowan, I'm not much for traveling. In my "younger" days I lived for short periods in Texas and back east, spent two years in Europe, got to see Pisa, Paris and a few other places I can't pronounce. I loved German Bavaria and the Alps, but it just reminded me of the...

Hey Seraphim. I know this site very well. I lived in my van for several months when my wife and I split up. Although the concept itself is I think a great one, in application I had difficulty with it. One big problem was finding a place to park that eluded the watchful eye of "normal"...

Wow Holy Batman, Robin! It absolutely was the adverts on the page. Now it rockets through even really long pages. It loads completely in seconds instead of minutes. Thank you so much LOL! why1942

Thanks Hi Janet. Thanks for the quick response (and from everyone else). I did the updates on FF and it is working much better now. Not as quick as K-meleon but such is life. KM has problems of its own which is why I don't use it all the time. Guess there's no perfect solution out there...

Hi. I love this forum but I'm really having trouble using it in Firefox. Often, when I go to a page - any page - on the forum it loads very, very slowly and is extremely difficult to navigate. No other website acts like this. I tried it in K-Meleon (another browser) and the site works...

Life Choice I was a little sad when I read that Jacob went back to work, but I also admire the freedom one can have once you have FI and CHOOSE to work rather than HAVE to in order to remain solvent. My sibling is the perfect example. He works for a fortune 500 company back east and there are...

Hey Major Tom, I actually get that initial conclusion quite a lot. Most people can't fathom living on very little, but I really wouldn't have it any other way. As far as blogging about my lifestyle - I can't imagine it would be too awfully interesting. Read a book, watched a tv show, went for...

Responding to all GrayHare: This is an issue I wrestle with, long-term care and unexpected medical issues. One way I'm trying to hedge this is by eating better, exercising and being proactive to keep illness at bay as long as possible. It's not foolproof but each ounce of prevention is a pound...

Hi, I'm wanting to retire (semi-retire) at age 45 (currently 36). I thought I would post my current strategy and ask for opinions, if I have missed or overlooked something, etc. The idea is to 1. pay off my student loans this year and 2. save as much as possible for the next 8 years. By age...

Thanks I already have a Roth IRA and plan to put as much into it as I can this year after I max out on my 401k. There is no match on the 401k, but I asked the question because I like the idea of all my retirement money being tax free. I chose to set up a solo 401k because I can put away $16500...

Hi, I was wondering if I can start converting portions of my solo 401k (at fidelity) to my roth ira (at fidelity) while I'm still self-employed and actively contributing to my 401k? Or do I have to wait until I'm no longer self-employed, roll over the solo 401k to a traditional IRA (or another...
