Yup. No doubt.

The Vanguard ones are amazing and they will probably be my next major investment.

Yup. For our 18 month old, it’s Wednesday and Sunday. Of course if we go to the pool or something else happens, then you adjust. And that’s ok! We use lotion for our child cause of the dry winters.

Haha. Good catch. Meant 2-3 times a week for the year. But you know what I meant!

I went Schwab as my brokerage so their ETFs are commission free. Thank goodness.

I got started investing in January (been doing 401k for about 8 years tho). I bought a Schwab ETF that concentrated on stocks that give out nice dividends. Last week, I got my first dividend payout ($1.31 total). I know it’s a small amount and expected since I only bought 5 shares of the ETF, but it felt good seeing…

Yup. Now is the time to really buy in and let it ride for the next 10-20 years.

What’s funny is that Corollas can easily go over 200k miles with maintenance. But the reason they aren’t on the road as much is because before they hit 200k, people want a bigger car. But they can certainly last over 200k miles.

Newborns don’t need to be bathed every day—once a week is enough.

What did you say?

Neuer doesn’t stop that. But would never have to because Zlatan only gets that shot off in MLS.

This. My wife and I had several conversations about loaning money to her mom. It has gotten nasty at times. Her mom could give two shits about me and literally avoids using my name in asking how the house is doing in phone calls (how are wife and baby doing). Then she has the nerve to come visit and eat the food that…

When my mom and stepdad come visit, they always insist on getting the check. Even when they come visit they will try to pay. And then they love taking our toddler off our hands for a day or two. Wife and I make about double what they earn.

A Portugal with Ronaldo won the final of the Euros. So yeah...

I simply bought trip insurance for all my flights. Im going to Russia for the World Cup with a stop in Munich beforehand. As the father of a 18 month old, it was an expense I had to pay for flexibility. My only issue is one of the hotel stays in Moscow at a Hilton made me pay full price. The short stays in other…

My parents couldn’t afford it neither. So I worked from high school until finishing college to pay for it myself. Now that I want to leave money for my kid(s) in a trust of sorts, it’s bad because allegedly that’s spoiling them.

Apparently, since the election of the current POTUS, it’s taboo to set up a trust for your children. I have discussed this on various articles here and gotten pushback because I’m setting them up for failure. Sigh.

I understand the thought, it’s also pure laziness on my wife who doesn’t want to make something at home and rather spend money on Applebees To Go or Chinese takeout. All that eating out adds up and I worked hard looking for details and stocking up on sales at the supermarket to basically ignore all the food I bought…

I agree. Still a red card. I’ve seen Nani get a red for receiving a ball with a high boot and a Real Madrid player was close by and got hit without Nani knowing he was there. Ref gave an instant red.

I’ve had this issue plenty of times, especially recently as I was training for my first 5k. At the 5k, there was a booth selling this new detergent called HEX. Local to Baltimore, it works great.
