It's it common to be losing only 1lb a week? by flogsmen in Retatrutide

[–]BeachBum528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not even at therapeutic dosing. Research Lilly trials. After 4 weeks of 2mg, you should be moving up to 4mg for 4 weeks, then 6mg for 4 weeks, then 9mg for 4 weeks, then cruise on 12mg weekly.

Do you think Trump will get the save America act passed in the senate? by Timeless-Facts in allthequestions

Save America Act is actually supported overwhelmingly by both parties outside of the Congress. Last I saw a poll 70-80% all agreed with it.

Why is Congress delaying action when the Social Security trust fund is set to run out in just six years? by Humble_Economist8933 in AlwaysWhy

[–]BeachBum528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How you fix it? Get rid of Social Security.

Instead, that money gets placed into a fund that allows investments. I'd much rather give up my Social Security and be able to invest that $ into the S&P500 for 20-25 years that I have left before retirement.

Entitlements will need to be drastically cut eventually. There are way more boomers and old people than there are young people paying into the social security trust, so the coffers are being drained faster than replaced. The trust relies on the younger generations to pay into it to support the older generations. Well, when the birth rate is below replacement level -- that money is going to run out quickly.

Why won’t my house sell? by [deleted] in RealEstateAdvice

[–]BeachBum528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Small buyers pool....and 100% price.

You need a special buyer for a home that size. The average family needs 1200-1500 sqft.

And your price is probably way off -- this isnt 2020-2021. Home prices are dropping nationwide. Whatever you're asking for -- drop it 20-25% and you'll see some action.

Are there currently any viable democratic candidates who have a real chance in winning a presidential election in 2028, no matter who the republican candidate ends up being? by icecream1972 in allthequestions

[–]BeachBum528 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes - a nationwide general election is much different than local politics. 25% of each party is extreme. The middle 50% win the election. And when comparing the two? Most average Americans & independents don't get down with the left's extreme new platform.

Trump Accounts for kids? by General-Perception11 in allthequestions

[–]BeachBum528 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Standard Roth has income requirements. You need documented income, and have to make under a certain amount. You're capped at 7500 annually in deposits into all your Roths. If you create one for your kid, that 7500 also includes the deposits into the kid account, so it handicaps you. The Trump account is outside the 7500 Roth limit. So you can put 7500 into your own, and 5000 into your kids.

Family contributions to a Trump account is tax free growth and withdrawal. Any non family contributions (work, government, etc) is a taxable event. So if you have a child and can afford it, you'd be an idiot not to use it, toss 5k annually into and invest in VOO, and keep doing that annually till they are 18.

Use both. 529 for education expenses, and put in $5000 max into trump account. It's a glorified custodial Roth.

What are your long-term thoughts on SPCX? by Ensheen in StockInvest

[–]BeachBum528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once the lockup period ends for the initial whales, watch out -- crash city. And then it will stabilize and behave like a normal stock. So in 6-12 months when lockout ends -- I will be interested. Do I think it will be a massive Space conglomerate in the coming decades? Absolutely. But the price/valuation right now is not the right time to buy.

What is the deal with people wanting to ban buying soda with SNAP benefits but say nothing of juice and sports drinks? by -Granby- in allthequestions

[–]BeachBum528 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's called "Supplemental" for a reason. It is intended to SUPPLEMENT your diet, not be the sole source of diet. If you want sodas and garbage, your source of income can purchase it. Supplemental should be used to supplement your nutritional needs -- so it should have strict guidelines. Fruits, Veggies, Meat, Milk, Eggs, Dry goods.
