This! W2R I agree that's the ticket.

Happiest Easter wishes to all and thank you for starting this thread Street.

If it's an Eli Lilly drug you may be able to get it directly from them through their online portal. It's my understanding that people who place their scripts with Lilly through their patient direct program are not experiencing shortages for Zep and Mounjaro. I don't take these drugs, so this is...

You have $3.6M in a month or 2. You don't need to wait for 59.5 (if you need access to $ now you can 72t - SEPP). If this new job prospect has so many negatives for you, you might consider finding something else that appears fun, and/or interesting. Your posts relay dread about this new job...

My cardiologist pops a statin daily. Says most of his colleagues do, too - including those like him who have no indication of cardiovascular disease (his choice, I'm not advocating for every healthy person to take statins). He says he knows it's a lifesaver. Flattens/shrinks plaque - smooths out...

Wonderful examples of caring & generosity here! Thank you all for sharing and street, thank you for starting this uplifting thread. I serve in a volunteer capacity as a driver for seniors who are unable to drive to medical appointments...

Thanks for sharing and congrats! Always nice to hear the good things that those on this board are able to make happen. WooHoo for you!

This is a great thread. Many laughs - thanks. Looking forward to my discounted Frosty, just need to find out what time I'll be eating it.

This from the self aggrandizing financial advice expert who also shared years ago that she had led a fake life driving very expensive cars, carried mucho debt, and was a status signaler (reformed - ha!). Old or new news from Suze is likely not worth anyone's time. No I did not click nor read the...

I have a similar story, although it involves "just" poor decision making on the part of my previous (nonprofit) employer. They switched from a great Fido 401 to a lame insurance company administered 401 based on a slick presentation by a FA and a few free lunches he spread around... they even...

My mothers favorite - Isle Royale. She backpacked it many times in her 50s & 60s, sleeping in first come first served screened basecamps on the island. There is 1 lodge. Less than 26,000 visitors/year.

DH was a high earner. I encouraged him to walk away at 49/50 because he was fried. I do care that we left alot on the table.... but not more than I value him. His mental health is much more important to me than $. Yes our assets would be several $M more today if he'd stayed in his corporate...

My vocabulary for the amazing, vibrant lifelong friendships that we've had the pleasure of building in 2 55+ communities includes positive, happy descriptors. We love 55+ for the myriad of activities, + the friendships we're growing. The social opportunities are everywhere here. We feel...

Chemicals. Developed, manufactured & used in the last generation. I don't recall a single post here about chemicals, so I'm throwing chemicals in the mix. Our waterways, air, soil and bodies are exposed to more man made chemicals than ever. The WHO recognizes pollution as a contributing factor...

Mountainsoft - that is no small feat. Nice job

Well said. Not partisan. Thank you.

Is this "play money" or a substantial % of your portfolio? (ask yourself, no need to reply here) If your TSLA holdings represent pocket change for you then I'd either sell it now, or hold it but don't lose sleep. Buy or hold TSLA - either way I wouldn't stress if it's say... 1or 2% of your...

There are many different types of bonds. We were nearly 100% equities for our working years and now individual bonds play a vital role for us, they're an important part of our AA. (equities & other asset classes do too) As we know, different strokes .... we all have different needs and...

Congrats Raven1!!! You've made a great decision. Very excited for you and your family!

A bright spot on the inflation front today. We ate lunch outdoors (81 degrees) on a nice deck lakeside. Great view and a table right next to the water. Busy not crowded. I had a basic lunch salad, a delicious cup of house made clam chowder and an iced tea, DH had smash burger & fries, DF had...

We looked at several CCRCs. Just gathering info & planning. We're under 60 - All of them charge extra to "buy in" if you are younger (60- 65) and all limit how young you can be when buying + moving in. It's my understanding that there's additional risk associated with residents who are accepted...

My spouse says we would have paid... so there's that. Anyhow, lesson is to question those fees if you're bothered by them. .

My recent RE transaction involved the same $495 fee that you were hit up for. I called the realtor and told him no go. He blustered, I didn't cave and then he waived it. I would have walked.

Sorry that you are injured and I hope that your recovery is a short road. With regard to the person who plowed into you - I'd personally let it go. Winter sports have risks and we know & accept those risks when we participate in them. I do agree with you that asking the family to pay your oop...

Very helpful catch RunningBum.
