And some sit on line at the gas station at Costco for 25 minutes to save 20 cents a gallon for their Range Rover...
Boy is that the truth. LOL I could never see driving out of my way for gas.
Hey, it's his world. If he wants to be surrounded by people who make him think he's always right like Trump so be it. We could each start our own forums if we wanted to but I'm not that narcissistic that I can only handle people who think like me. B…
I recently read an article that quoted Exxon CEO. He was basically saying the president can't control oil prices. He doesn't see large increases in production in the short term as the world already has plenty of supply.
BB is definitely Boggleheads II -- I've been banned. Heil Hitler um err... Chang, agree with us or you're gone. - Actually lucky me, I've been wanting to cut down screen time.
This is fun to listen to the crybabies! Carry on
Hey, we listened to you folks crying for 4 years during Obama and 4 years during Biden. You listened to us the last Trump term so we owe you 4 more years of moaning about Trump. Then we'll be back to…
Someone on another board thread, which has been closed due to being political, posted the following:
"As for the poll, I was surprised only by the size of DT's win and the relative issue-less vote counting."
Do they think if the results would h…
Prime visa 5% Whole Foods and Amazon, Target 5% card, Lowes 5% card. I used to use WF visa 2% for everything else but today I ordered the 4% VZ visa which will replace that for gas/groceries and whatever else I get 4% on. Will use the WF 2% for any…
I'm just glad it'll be over... for a couple months then they will start the 2028 political commercials... ugh. I just read they spent 10 BILLION on ads, how many people/vets could that feed or house? It's our own fault (I don't donate to politi…
Only 3 states don't have early voting (walk-in) Mail-in voting is mostly called absentee voting.

Will it end?
Maybe,,, if it's not close. Who would take his place? Tucker, Don Jr. It was never this bad before him so I'm hopeful once he's gone and the GOP realizes all he did was lose it'll quiet down. He's done quite a bit of damage, it's…
I don't know about where you're located but I can go look at the status of my ballot at any time. I. E. mailed out, returned, accepted etc... I would expect most places are the same. They'll track down the voters and have them resubmit their ballo…
I listened to a very tiny little bit of it. They were talking about how the 2014 predictions said small cap were going to do better than large cap over the next 10 years LOL. I then closed it.
With my assets I should be strongly GOP and was when I was younger but then I started caring more about people and the planet and less about money somewhat thanks to my wife and kids. To me that's the difference between GOP/DEM, one cares more abo…
”Can you have most or all of RMD withheld for taxes?” Yes, at VG one year I did, RMD == withhold 70% for Fed taxes and withhold 30% for State taxes. So example: RMD was 10K, 7K went to the Feds and 3k went to the State.
I don't know why but I don't think Israel is going to let this one slide. They let the last one slide. They have no choice but to go hard at anyone who wants to get rid of them and they consider Iran the leader of the mayhem. They don't mess around.
I always pull RMD's in Dec. Why not let it grow tax free as long as possible. Your RMD should have been moved to ultra short term bonds or preferably MM much earlier in the year. That way you don't worry about the market going down. I usually ha…
He's got to hit them hard now. If he doesn't win in Nov what do you think he'll be able to sell then? He has a small "fleece them" one more time window,
@hank -- I like it. Yes, 5-10% are crap people just like 5-10% of EVERY group has bad apples. The rest are people who just want to live a nice quiet happy life.
I'm male and single issue voter. I have too many women in my life I care about and don't want someone else making their medical choices for them. I'm hoping women come out of the woodwork to say Hell NO! DJT says he supports IVF but the GOP just bl…
Just saw an excellent interview on CNN (Pete Buttigieg) _ He thinks the reason Trump does all this crazy stuff is to keep the spotlight on him. People aren't talking about his failures, his policies, his debate performance. They're talking about h…
"Turning to him and saying “This (pause / hesitation), this ahh - “ … and then finally referring to him as a former President.” Came across as if she’d wanted to call him something else. :)"
YES,,,, or something else ran through her mind like t…
A few years ago my neighbor and I took an Obama sign and put it in our very conservative neighbors yard late at night on our way home from the bar. The conservative neighbor was a friend and he eventually figured out it was us and we laughed about …
It's all relative. In some parts of the world they do eat cats and dogs, in some parts they eat horses. If you lived in India you'd think it's barbaric to eat cows. I looked up "are ducks sacred anywhere?" It came back that in some Native America…
What a nut case... the cult following is amazing. Like Jim Jones and David Koresh, people are looking to follow someone....anyone and some take advantage of that. Now where did I put my American flag with Harris's picture on it? I bet it's with t…
Don't buy the 4% rule, never have. I looked at it but it seemed to me not to take into account SS. My expense's for the last 16 years average 7.07% of last years year ending total. (including SS) -- maybe that is less than 4% without SS but why bot…
My results == 2 of the last 4 years Sept was down, 4 of the last 4 years Oct. was down. You would think the odds say Oct should be up this year or will it be a self fulfilling outcome due to all the stories, comments? One other item, over the last…
In 2008-2009 I rode it out, in 2020 I flinched, sold and took a big loss (dumb), 2022 rode it out. Riding it out is much better in the long run and why you need assets set aside to handle/spend during drawdowns.
