That’s why you should be increasing your bond/low risk fund contributions as you get closer to retirement and adjusting your allocations accordingly. This obviously means you have to do some long term planning to start putting things in motion 15-20 years out.

I bet you can probably keep a kid or 2 occupied with it for 3-4 years if you switch up the grip patterns every couple of months. Maybe start challenging them to stick to specific routes.

Hand counts SUCK. My firm does them (different department) and I’m only willing to help out if it’s at the beach town in our state.

I’d go to Vegas with that.

I lol’d

Curry. Rabbit curry if you want to kill two woodland creatures with one stone. Tell me rabbit sous vide in coconut milk wouldn’t be amazing.

1) Who let you out of the greys?

Hah! Stealing this idea for future gifts.

Hitting $100k in my retirement savings before my 30th birthday. Half of every raise gets added as a contribution, though I think I’ll start contributing to the available Roth 401k now since the tax cuts nudged me down a bracket.

I prefer plain Greek yogurt over mayo in things like chicken/tuna/egg salad.

No way is Disney pulling it when it’s still #1 at the box office on a given weekend. If/when it slips to 3rd or so, that’s when you might want to start worrying. The new Pacific Rim movie opening this weekend *might* knock it off the top spot, but I wouldn’t be surprised if BP held it until Ready Player One comes out…

It’s written into the terms of the contract you sign when you get a student loan. Sure, the US Dept of Ed could try to change the terms of the contract after it’s been executed, but 1L contract law says that dog won’t hunt in any court in the union.

Of the people who’ve married into the royal family in the past 50 years, she’s probably the closest to being an actual human being and not a highly sheltered pseudo-teenager *cough*Diana*cough*.

You forgot the fact that the IRS (and every state) will let you e-file for free using Free Fillable Forms. Mailing is NOT the only option if you want to go directly through the IRS.

My (public) elementary school did a cookbook as a fundraiser one year and there are recipes (including the one me and my mom submitted) that we still use 20 years later. The dynamic is exactly as you describe for a church cookbook.

I’m a huge fan of Dollarbird. It’s all manual input so there are no security concerns, but you can set recurring expenses easily and it takes 2 seconds to add an unscheduled transaction. I do best savings wise when I’m forced to face the times I spend money, and this is perfect for it. Everything else can wait until…

I’ve never had an Airbnb host refuse a request to drop my bags off early, so I’d start there before any other option.

Have you actually ever used it? If you put in accurate information, you end up with a refund of close to zero at tax time, +/- $100 or so.
