This is among my largest concern when building wealth. I often find myself asking, "Will it all be worth it?"

I used to be of the same mind as Mr. Bernstein. I also hold it true for someone trying to accumulate wealth starting at 0. However, should your position be one of relative financial stability I see nothing wrong with sectioning off a small portion of your portfolio to take a stab at a few single...

90/10 I feel like inflation is a great risk to portfolio health than losses. again it depends a lot on your situation. no bullet proof answer.

It shouldn't exceed 1% of your portfolio is my general rule with precious metals. My wife wears most of our 1% of that. If you purchasing well, (I.E. going out of country where the price for these things is significantly cheaper.) Beyond this, there comes a point in your wealth journey that...

However, if you don't retrain your eating and activity habits nothing will change. Morover I've been hearing reports that these same drugs damage your muscle mass as well. Simply put just reduce calories and move. It's healthier.

Hey, I REed at 34. Take on work you enjoy. Charities and what not. Even paid work. Perhaps a cause you believe in. It gives you the answer to the question "What do you do?" at cocktail parties. I ran into this same issue.

You have to make a sale on those autos to take a loss on them. Just because people say that's the price doesn't mean anyones buying.

I concur with a lot of what's being said in this thread. You need to reevaluate your yearly spending. In short, it's possible but adjust your expectations in how much you spend yearly. Maybe learn bout frugality more? You will have a reduction in expenses from not working, however no one can...

glad to hear you are staying active and I love when people encourage this sort of activity. we walk three miles a day. I love biking, my wife's into Yoga. We had to scale back out activity as we got older, we still hit up the parks, and swim all summer long.

My favorite thing to do during contract negotiations for anything is to sit down with the person who is making me sign the contract, and read it line by line. I highlight anything that could even be remotely questionable. Then, I have my spouse reread it in front of them. after that we have open...

Anecdotal is an understatement.

The Powerball, a tax on people who are bad at math.

Don't watch a "news clip" watch the whole interview. You are what media you consume and you are being sold an idea based on the opinions of that news channel, or in this case whatever drives views; which, sadly is rage/misery bait. She said they would provide all critical information relevant...

Thanks for this info. Also I agree with most of what you said. They may be found guilty of something small, but I don't think it will go anywhere as their number one customer is.... the department of defense ;)

Did you watch the hearing for the CEO? Soft ball after softball. Never mind the feds approved 100m for infrastructure costs. Also they make 200m a year. It depends on how badly they are found guilty you are correct. My presumption is it will be not at all for very slightly.

Not according to what I've been reading. First the power lines were shut down after the initial problem that was put out by the fire department. Second, the fire is an act of god, third, the forestry service ( which is the responsibility of the state) is responsible for the clearing of the brush...

Too late. I segregated a small portion of my portfolio swearing; if, I lose what's there, I won't ever try again.

move to somewhere that's cheaper... They need to change nothing if they are willing to move to a lower cost area. Plenty are nice, plenty of parks, and plenty are low crime. Find a small neighborhood with a grocery store in walking distance. I'd focus on frugality not on income. Although, keep...

To OP Okay, let's play the devil advocate. Where else would you go to live an earn better than here and why haven't you gone there? Why would you hold bonds if you don't trust the gov? in your 50's assuming you have no reason to assume your health will take a down turn soon, id say yes you are...

But, wasn't chase in the crapper right now, and BoA quarterlies going back quite a way are turning a profit and looking nice?

No. I wouldn't do that. I would just allocate future investment purchases to CDs; should, that allocation meet your investment goals.

Yep, and seeing as how they "are" the government because its federally regulated, and how the Biden administration just promised 100m in infrastructure spending I'll bet on the house.

In all honesty everything you told me about them as a customer reenforces my idea of being a shareholder. Sadly it seems the worst(moral) companies turn the best profits. My simple opinion is that should you not be able to afford electricity than you can't afford to to live at that location. In...

Thank you for your timely reply. I am estimating 18 months turn around time before we see this produce fruit for plucking. Considering the monopolistic nature of it's situation I am finding it... tempting. We shall see. I think I am diving in, full disclosure.

Hawaiian Eletric industries is something that's been on my watch list since long before I swore I would never purchase single stocks. The time of my boglehead view of the world has come and gone. I holds a few other things, (mostly bluechips I got on sale during chrona.) I feel like it's the...
