    Monthly budget

    I bought a brand new Toyota tundra in Jan 2017 at 1.9% interest over 5 years. Still have it with 127k miles. One of the best purchases I have made. The rest of my budget needs work:

    Manufactured Outrage

    This country's hard on people. You can't stop what's coming.

    Great recap with the writing the pics! Not sure if this makes me want to do the haul road hunt more or less 😂

    Gas/Fuel Price and hunting plans

    800 miles round trip to get to my Idaho elk unit this year with my Tundra. Possibly two trips in Oct depending on how the first week goes. I would expect $300-$400 of gas for a week. Fortunate to spend small amount on commuting with <8 miles round trip a day for wife and I both. Don't see gas...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    Oh yeah, risk is small for me and individual stocks are very small portion of portfolio. Along for the ride. Very familiar with the area. I grew up on a small dairy farm 10 miles SE of the site. Still have land and family there and my brother owns the main farm. I was in high school when they...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    Talon Metals (MN nickel miner) popped again today. I bought in Jan/Feb 2024 and plan to ride it out a while.

    Withdrawal calculator

    Pro-rata rules apply mainly to backdoor Roth contributions and nondeductible traditional IRA contributions/withdrawals. With Roth withdrawals they come from contributions first.

    Withdrawal calculator

    I had a college finance class where the professor showed the math on saving from age 25-35 beating the person saving from age 35-65. My wife and I started contributing 10%+ in 2012 at age 23/24. We were making $70,000 gross household income, rent was $600 a month in small town midwest. We lived...

    Well fattened bucks

    Does it take as many Hopzones to hunt well-fattened bucks as it did 8 years ago or have things slowed down a bit?

    W9 Tax form

    Typically the organization sends the scholarship funds directly to the school/university so no W9 is needed. Then the university reports total scholarships and tuition/fees paid on a 1098T. That way if a student drops out the University can refund the scholarship to the organization as well. A...

    Fly Tying/Fishing Thread

    Douglas 11'6". Helps turnover 12 feet of leader/tippet. I still suck at casting it. Monday on the Kulik walk wading I was using an Orvis recon 8 weight 9' single hand. The two hander would have been nicer there too.

    Fly Tying/Fishing Thread

    I mean, we are just fishing beads under bobbers 😂. Using a 6 weight switch rod, 15 lb leader with 12 lb tippet. A foul hooked salmon is a pain in the ass and will break things up. But the rainbows can go high 20s and we have broke off a few of them too. A couple guys are swinging flies but I...
