    Idaho MSG draw 2025 results

    I have one friend that drew a Panhandle moose tag. I am doing DEA this year, but thinking I will jump back in for sheep in 2026.

    Asset management and or Private equity invesments

    There was just a merger of 13 PE backed CPA firms announced, the "new" firm jumped into the top 50 by revenue. Still small potatoes compared to the Baker Tilly/Moss Adams merger announced last month with a large PE investment. Doesn't seem to be slowing down. Agree on the succession planning...

    Maven Rangefinders?

    I have had one for about 3 years and like it it a lot. It felt a little bulky at first when archery hunting but I got used to it quickly. I had a cheap Leupold before that which I was never happy with. Could try to get it to you to test out for a bit if you wanted to try it out.

    Dept of Interior handed over to DOGE

    One way that social security is "means tested" is by taxing it at up 85%. Lets say a married couple that had above average earnings and retirement income has combined social security benefits of $60k a year and they are in the 22% tax bracket - they would pay about 11k a year in additional tax...

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    I did some reallocations and Roth conversions in the first 2 weeks of April. Down about 3% YTD on IRAs/401ks. Still down about 8% from peak in the fall.

    Quotable Quotes

    Was at some meetings the last couple days and there was an Idaho old timer there. He was telling stories about growing up in Sun Valley while his mom worked at housekeeper for rich folks. He remembers wandering around the streets and sitting on some eccentric guys lawn while he told stories...

    Verify that you hunt

    A few pics from the last several years. Stinky deadhead: Kitty while deer hunting. Blocked out the recognizable background that I am sure many people would know. Maui shore fishing: Wife with moose: Late night moose cutting up: WY

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    I have some (small) risky positions in my HSA. If some of those penny stocks hit it big I can get all sorts of medical procedures done :ROFLMAO:

    Anybody Buying Yet? Where’s the Bottom?

    If you can always get that timing right, great. And you should start a hedge fund. For 99% of people leaving it in is the best approach. With some mindful allocation adjustments based on risk, age, etc. https://awealthofcommonsense.com/2014/02/worlds-worst-market-timer/...

    Roth vs. Trad IRA Benefits - even from converting LATE?! (like 70 y/o late)

    You are referring to regular Roth contributions which requires wages/earned income. It is specifically prohibited to convert RMDs to Roth. Roth conversions are a whole different game than Roth contributions. Plenty of people do them DIY but if someone doesn't understand them they should work...

    This is why Bozeman is kind of annoying.

    I have still only driven through Bozeman and have never stopped. Probably 4-6 times a year since 2017. One of these years I'll have to check it out.

    Social security by the numbers

    Yep, say you retire with $1M in a 401k. Plan on 5% or $50k per year. If market goes down and you're at 900k then you would take $45k. The reality is most people will have fluctuating living expenses, trips, vehicle purchases, etc. so they might range from 3-6% depending on what is going on.

    Social security by the numbers

    Yes and its generally conservative based on past market performance. So if the market is down and 5% is needed it should not kill someone's plan. But definitely more risk.
