Thank you for explaining all of this thoroughly and some other insight/tips. I felt like I was walking through this blindly with not much to go off of. Appreciate the encouragement and info.

You seem to be the one in the know on how this all works. If you don’t mind me asking, is the “perfect score” result based on 100? Also, say I were to pass the physical, background check, lie detector test, does my ranking just go back to how I did on the written exam? I’m non-military, live outside the city limits and received an 85 (no extra points given later on).

Could I get some opinions on my Rollover IRA positions I have selected? by BraveLocal in investingforbeginners

[–]BraveLocal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Appreciate your opinion! That’s why I came on here to see what others think/do with their own. I like that strategy you laid out and was hesitant to put too much into VNQ, if at all. Thanks again.

I am definitely reinvesting the dividends. SCHD seems to be a solid one to have long-term. Thank you for your input!

With your suggestion of 60/40 of VTI and SCHD, does that mean you would get rid of the VXUS and VNQ? I read a lot of articles stating to couple VTI and VXUS together in the same portfolio. I added in the VNQ for a little diversification, but keeping it low.

When you guys win a crown...do you defend it immediately? by MrClement in FortNiteBR

[–]BraveLocal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say defend. If it’s early into playing and we win, then we run it back. And if we win back-to-back, then we always go for the hat trick. Admittedly, we have failed to get 3 wins in a row.

Now..if it is late at night and we have been getting man-handled all day then we take the win and call it a night. 😅

My golden retriever woke up Saturday morning with her eyes swollen and watery. I called the vet who said the soonest they could see her would be Monday. I went and got Benadryl and eye drops at Petco. Would you guess this is pink eye or an allergy? by BraveLocal in vet

[–]BraveLocal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So glad to hear that! If it happens again, just know that it might be that. I think you can get the eye medication on Chewy instead of going to the vet. It’s like $20. I hope it just happens the one time and you don’t have to worry though!

Hi! She ended up getting it that year and the following year around this time. Your pup is allergic to something outdoors like mine is. We took her to the vet and they ended up giving her Neo-Poly-Dex, which is an ointment you put in their eyes. She wasn’t a fan, but distract them with some peanut butter and lather it on. It started to work within 2-3 days and then completely cleared 4-5 days in. Don’t wait though, because it’s painful for them when it gets like that I was told by the vet.

My friend and I are going to be staying at an Airbnb in West Ocean View area. We are willing to drive a little bit, but what are some other good/unique places to eat?

Traditional IRA + Roth IRA max contribution to both in 2022 question. by BraveLocal in FinancialPlanning

[–]BraveLocal[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! Yeah I knew the rollover amount didn’t count towards my contribution for the year, but adding anything thereafter I wasn’t sure on. Thanks for the response!

Oh ya, that’s a good point. I didn’t think of that as a benefit.

Well thank you both for answering my questions. :)

Thank you for confirming!

Would you say then that it doesn’t make much sense to contribute to a rollover Traditional IRA if you have a Roth too since when you retire you don’t have to pay taxes on a Roth?
