"Take for what it is worth, IMO, when you are retired, the only good use of your time, other than to look after your physical health, is to learn new things... whether that results in making more money or not is not as important."

@BenWP- Sorry Ben- the 20 points goes to Mark... the something stupid was a duck.
@Mark- Let me get back to you on what you can do with the 20 points. This may take a while.
No question that Government can sometimes be unnecessarily intrusive. Very irritating.
I'd bet that money was at the root of this particular situation- the schools are paid a certain amount daily for each student that actually attends, and many of t…
@BaluBalu- thanks to the imprecision of the English language, I can't tell if your use of the word "read" is intended to be "read" as in "reed", or as in "red" (past tense).
Since you are the initial poster and originator of the thread you will be …

How health care could change under the new Trump administration
The reverberations will be felt far beyond Washington, D.C., and could include an erosion of the Affordable Care Ac…
It's going to be interesting because if Trump were to actually deport many/most of the undocumented agricultural/food prep/construction workers, and impose tariffs anything like he has promised, inflation will take off like a rocket.
If, as he has …
Considering DL Sauron's new baby: OFTRA OneFundtoRuleThemAll. Forged by DTrump's elves in the volcanic bowels of Mt. Maga, this will surely be the last fund that anyone will ever want or need.
@Catch22- sure, why not! I'm thinking that the House and Senate elections are as important as the presidential election. If the Dems don't control at least one of those you can kiss USA as we've known it goodby.

Speaking of paying cash- we recently had extensive tree work done at the place in Guerneville. It ran about 14k, and the tree service company sent us an email invoice which was set up to pay by credit card. That got me thinking- by CC we would get 1…
When I search Schwab for CSOIX I get no result, so I searched for "Credit Suisse Strategic Income" by name, and Schwab turns up "Credit Suisse Strategic Income A, CSOAX".
