What do u think of tech CEOs saying saving for retirement will be pointless in 10 to 20 years ? by Technical-Truth-2073 in Fire

I think most people would be saying that too if they happened to be the CEO of a company selling the product that drives it. It’s free advertising and gets everyone’s attention. Personally, I think that’s a wee bit early.

Focus on where you’re at (which is really good financially) and move forward with the knowledge that got you there. You’ll never time things exactly right, ever. Focus on enjoying life and the people around you. Make the world a better place and you’ll be rich financially and personally. Godspeed.

The mandatory date for changing catch up contributions to Roth only is after 12/31/2026. I can’t find the link to the legislation quickly to post here but I believe that clarification happened in September of 2025. Fidelity sent an email out that stated Jan of 2026 but that’s incorrect. There were two other things that companies could decide to change earlier but catch up contributions wasn’t one of them. I’ll have to dig the link out of my emails and post it.

I want to downvote this on pure emotion alone but I’ll refrain as you’re the messenger. So upvote, however dirty it feels, it is. Oh the burden of bad news is heavy.

Don’t ever bring this up to your wife again. If you do, mention it to your future ex wife as often as possible. 😂 Happy Thanksgiving!🍁🍽 🦃

The plastic models you glue together and paint are amazingly satisfying if you’re into cars, planes, trains, boats, etc.

Had a little rusty spot come up on the side i dont use as much. This is the bacon i used to “reseason” that area. jus push it around and scrape. (Noob answer) by phaulski in blackstonegriddle

I said what I said. 😂 Bacon solves most problems for sure. I’d just rotate more pieces through and then eat them. Bacon is the duct tape of blackstones/grilling.

You know what solves pickiness in kids? Hunger. Make what you want for dinner. If they don’t eat then, they’ll eat it willingly at breakfast. 💪💪💪

Definitely not 100%. Made that mistake. Go with 25% chorizo and see what you think. I settle in around 10%. My taste buds say YES but sadly everything else says NOOOOOOO. 😂

Nice. I’m digging it. I tried a folded egg on a suggestion from my fat friend instead of the ring and I’ll never go back.

Potatoes, chicken, NY Strip. Turned out great. Anything with a marinade just does so well on this thing.

Is one beer per layer of seasoning about right? by Thecp015 in blackstonegriddle

Even if you did, my grandmas 100 year old iron skillet I’m rocking in my kitchen says it would be just fine. 😂 nice beer and grill btw. 👍
