    From Brews to Bourbons: Drinks to Avoid.

    I couldn't believe it. It was $65, on SALE. You know how you expect a bit of smoothness and character, particularly after it was recommended. It was really disappointing.

    Biden admin attacking hunting in elementary schools

    I'm not clear why they would allow hunting in elementary schools. It seems kinda dangerous, what with all the kids around. Maybe if it they restricted the hunting hours to either recess time or, more preferably, after hours. See, with the kids gone, you could even set up traps, and hang out...

    What are you guys paying for gas?

    $5.49 for regular here, in San Diego. Funny thing is, we ship gas to Arizona, and they sell it much cheaper. :unsure:

    From Brews to Bourbons: Drinks to Avoid.

    A friend recommended this stuff. Apparently it used to be good years ago, and the company started cutting costs (and corners). It was less than average for twice the price.

    Retirement: When would you like to retire? Do you have a plan to get there?

    That is true. Obamacare (before 60) is based on AGI. So, either you have deductions, and/or an income below their thresholds. Not to beat a "dead horse" but someone more proficient at investments can show you areas of investment that are, and are not prone to mandatory required minimum...

    Retirement: When would you like to retire? Do you have a plan to get there?

    He did show me the numbers. The particulars are that it matters WHERE u are. I live in the peoples' republic of Kalifornia. Here they screw you every way they can. My wife wants to move, I want to move, but the fishing, weather, etc is still a draw, so we drink the Koolaid. Here, our...

    Retirement: When would you like to retire? Do you have a plan to get there?

    I hear ya. I'm a numbers guy too. But, I don't know what I don't know. It's usually free for a first consultation, and the reason I'd still recommend it is that they will usually give you info on angles you never considered. You don't necessarily have to hire them, just listen to their...

    New Zealand Stag Hunt

    @Kiwi - Nice friggin' stag! Didn't think the public ones went that big. I recently joined NZHS to get feedback from locals in your neck of the woods, as my buddy and I are planning a trip out there before the rut (Feb-Mar). We may end up doing a management hunt, but my buddy wants to do...

    Retirement: When would you like to retire? Do you have a plan to get there?

    Not sure if you already checked on this, but Obamacare is ridiculously cheap after you turn 60. It can be much less if you're under 60, but there's more income hurdles to jump through. My wife retired about a month ago. Through her work we were paying about $1300 month for insurance. We...

    Retirement: When would you like to retire? Do you have a plan to get there?

    This is a great point. I've come across so many ppl who buy new trucks every 5 years or so. If they knew how much they were losing in depreciation and insurance, they would probably reconsider. I still drive a 1999 Durango. I can do the repairs myself, so I don't necessarily recommend...

    Retirement: When would you like to retire? Do you have a plan to get there?

    I retired at 54. Worked in the high end automotive service industry for 30 years, and worked my way to parts and service director. . When I was 25, I told my (way more mature than me) girlfriend that I was GOING to retire at 50. She was from a VERY financially-responsible family, as her father...
