Hey Monte, about time you stepped up and bought the products that have made you a ton of money. They won’t give you quite the same joy but on another level they will certainly come close.

Same thing happened to me. Although my cholesterol is within range apparently there are new studies that show how statistically taking statins will increase your life expectancies by X percentage

Medicare covers Gym membership?

Well I guess I’ll be ornery Let’s see… I can’t stop saving because I have more coming in than going out Not sure what ‘stop spending on things that don’t bring joy’ even means….Please enlighten me. Maybe medical bills??? Stop pretending….yada, yada….. Good advice at any age…don’t you think...

Sorry to be so direct but….Have you been living under a rock? Of course you should be tipping the hotel maid.

Cruising I really enjoy cruises. I’ve done 7 of them and plan on doing more. They’re great for when you don’t feel like planning an itinerary, looking for hotels or restaurants. The cruise line is important.

I’m not sure what success is nowadays, moneywise, that is. My net worth is about $8M. Does that make me a financial success? I don’t feel rich. Comfortable, OK, I guess, but rich. Not really.

The trick is in your staying power & commitment & a bit of vision. How many people bought Apple, Google & Amazon, etc Then when it shot up quickly or fell dramatically sold believing they could buy it back lower or were afraid they would lose whatever gain they had. Apple is a monster but how...

I’ve been doing the same thing. Lots of great companies that have been beaten up by the herd and the machines. I’ve bought several Porsche’s for the price of a Ford. Wouldn’t be overly surprised if they go Nissan pricing but value always comes back. I’ve been on this train before. The thing is...

They were in-kind I presume. Smart thinking. I’ve been wanting to do some serious conversions for years. I just have too much in the IRA but the taxes were just hard to swallow. If you have a positive outlook that stocks will recover then conversions are truly a silver lining to this mess.

In-kind Ira to Roth transfer time This will pass stocks will go back up. Now is around time for those of you wanting to transfer funds from your traditional IRAs to a Roth to do it with your stocks that have fallen dramatically in value. You just transfer say, some of your Apple stock, directly...

I have a real sweet tooth myself and found substituting pastry, ice cream and the like with all kinds of fruit, figs, raisins mixed with non- salt wide range of nuts, sunflower seeds helped me to cut back 90%. I know fruit & figs have sugar but in its natural form it seems to be much better.and...

This too shall pass.

I was just recently there, in September. I realize traffic gets much worse in winter. But wasn’t talking about traffic. I was comparing roads or highways on the Gulf side to the Atlantic Ocean side. The highways on the Boca side were much wider & even in September the traffic was more crazy...

I recently checked out Florida. Sarasota, Naples, Boca Raton areas. I liked the Gulf side best. Traffic less busy, layout of streets and towns & cities more low key & inviting. Housing was great. We went in summer to see if wife & I could handle the heat. We understood its really pretty hot, to...

Ha ha ha.

Glad to see another thumbs up for intermittent fasting. My DW and I just hit our 50th day and we both swear by it. We stick to the 16/8 regiment.

We have, for the most part, a pretty hardy group of folks responding. ‘Survivalship bias’ at it's finest.

I’ve tried all the herbal and advertised stuff and nothing ever worked except for perhaps short term placebo benefit.

Well I’m past 30 days doing this and I feel pretty good about it. I’ve been steadfast on keeping 16 hours between my last and next days meal. It’s pretty easy to do now just a change of a few habits. Originally I tried to squeeze 3 meals into the 8 hours: normal breakfast, heavier lunch and...

I thought I’d pass this along since I’ve been experiencing,, so far, such good results. Anyone here try intermittent fasting? It’s something that’s been around for years and every once in a while comes up again as really healthy to do. There are a different ways to do it (you can google). The...
