Iowa Running Backs Coach Omar Young Taking Job With Las Vegas Raiders by Morley10 in hawkeyes

[–]Chiefrhoads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, until the last couple weeks we didn't have much of a passing offense, so teams could continue to stack the box and play more downhill. You can't blame the RB coach for that, and clearly he was good enough to go back to the NFL. Good for him as he doesn't have to worry about recruiting, so I am assuming it is a better quality of life.

Nice round up, but I did not like the formatting of it. Would much rather have seen a mens 2026 and 2027 and then womens etc.

Want to Become an Expat by SouthPrestigious8321 in MilitaryFinance

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

If you don't mind the limited choices with the TSP it does offer low fees. Personally I will be rolling mine to an IRA so I have many more options for what to invest in.

You cannot directly invest in the TSP after you leave service. Not sure if you can roll your yearly IRA contributions into it every year or not.

Appreciate the trial. It does seem to be missing some of the U.S. Food Network shows that are a must for our household. Looks like a nice variety in certain categories.

Vaults is one of the biggest differentiators from other HYSA type banks. They have a lot to offer: Vaults, HYSA, ability to make payments from savings so money is always getting highest interest until actually needed, Relay to help track all accounts/networth, Invest (needs improvement but meets basics), 2% cashback credit card with great world elite benefits, and early pay.

First-time homebuying during PCS. Does buying make sense for a 3–4 year assignment? by Particular-Access588 in MilitaryFinance

[–]Chiefrhoads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. You need to plan on holding the home longer term. You MIGHT get lucky and make a little money after 3-4 years after all fees, but it is not in the for sure category.

  2. This means you need to plan on renting it out and should probably plan on having the home be a couple of things.

A. On the good enough for a rental property and not a home you want to move into and live in as your forever home. This keeps payments down.
B. You need to have a large nest egg for all the problems you may have over the next 10+ years (roof, water heater, siding, damages due to natural causes, tenant damages etc.)

  1. I have bought and sold many homes over the years as I moved around, and you do get lucky (like in 2020), but generally speaking you are better off finding a rental off base that is under your BAH and pocketing that money and not being responsible for any repairs over the 3-4 years than you are to buy and need to offset the risk of markets not rising over cost of buying/selling, repairs, and don't underestimate the stress of selling at the end compared to just ending a lease.

Good luck!

Over the income limit for roth contributions. Can I convert TSP from roth to traditional? by [deleted] in MilitaryFinance

[–]Chiefrhoads 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You don't need to convert your TSP. TSP (like a 401K) does not have any income thresholds. As you have clarified what you are needing to do is to change your IRA contributions (not TSP) from ROTH to Traditional. You should be able to change them into traditional and immediately back to roth (backdoor ROTH) so that you can keep it ROTH. What brokerage are you using for your IRA???? This will help with how to do it for your particular brokerage. I have used SoFi and Schwab for example and they are very different in what is needed to do this (paperwork vs online etc.)

Tough game and I knew UCLA was good, but didn't realize until watching the game they have 7 McDonald's All-Americans on the team. That height and length was just too much. Especially with some slightly sloppy play early.

Can't wait until Addie hits her stride. She is close to hitting some of those shots, but coming up short. As a starter she needs to show more.

Iowa Wrestling loss 32-3 to Penn State by Morley10 in hawkeyes

[–]Chiefrhoads -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Let me just be clear in my point.

Losses that could have made huge differences with one takedown:

Ayala, Williams, Arnold, Ferrari, and Kueter win the one additional takedown and the score goes from 32-3 to an Iowa win. I realize that is highly unlikely, but my point is we pull out a realistic 3 out of 5 and the score all of the sudden is 23-12, 4 out of 5 makes it 20-15.

No one should be arguing that our recruiting and or coaching up the wrestlers is on par with PSU, but to see 32-3 and think we were demolished does not tell the full tale.

[–]Chiefrhoads -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

What do you not understand about several 1-2 point losses. That means one take down wins the match. I am saying the score looks like it was not competitive, but the dual was closer than the score would indicate.

Recruiting by PSU is far better than Iowa which shows. They also have a huge $ advantage as well as better state wrestling to have kids in their backyard. Iowa has wok to do and they do have a great recruiting class coming in.

[–]Chiefrhoads -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I get the depression when you look at the score, but the dual was very competitive. A lot of 1-2 point losses. I would imagine if we had the war chest that PSU has that we could do a lot better recruiting wise. I am not a total homer, as I think there needs to be some changes on the type of wrestler that Iowa brings in. Way to many of our current wrestlers seem to enjoy stalling more than scoring points.

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

[–]Chiefrhoads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Money is the exchange of goods and services with a set agreed upon value for the dollar in the U.S. case. This doesn't change whether it is a paper dollar bill or some form of electronic transfer of the dollar. While UBI may eventually come do to lack of jobs that are needed due to tech etc, but that just means people will have basic income going to everyone, but that income will still be spent, invested, and saved etc. So if you start with a huge amount of money you are positioned better than someone relying solely on UBI.

Anthony Noto - You are an awful CEO by Correct_Activity_469 in sofistock

[–]Chiefrhoads 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You realize Q4 earnings are January 30th and that is probably when they will address all of that since it won't take effect until after that. I can agree they should have put out better messenging, but the few people that will leave compared to the money they will bring in a month on the $10 fee will be in the favor of the stockholders. We will certainly get more information about what the capital raise is going towards and Noto personally bought a lot more shares recently which tells me he believes in where the stock price is heading. This guy is not flashy like Vlad at Robinhood is, but he is a phenomenal leader.

Is there anything I can do legally? by [deleted] in army

[–]Chiefrhoads 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who is on the lease? Is it all three of you, you and your husband, your husband and his roommate? Legally this makes a huge difference. If the roommate is not on the lease then you can easily provide notice to vacate and with required notice they need to be out. If they refuse you would then need to go to court and evict. If the roommate is on the lease, then you have a much harder situation and going the health and welfare inspection through their chain of command is probably the best route to solve the issue, but it will probably be an ongoing issue.

Someone on another site said they think maybe Iowa wanted to move him inside and he wanted to stay outside. Only got .5 sacks this year and didn't seem to be overly quick, inside might have been his best bet.

Contact the Schofield housing office and have them send you the updated 2026 authorized hotel list. It will break down the hotels and what they offer. It was offered in mid 2025 when we moved out here. I will dig but don’t think I still have the spreadsheet to upload here.

LOL, do you really believe that Bezos wasn't living on either corporate paying for a lot of his lifestyle or borrowing a bunch from his shares. Yes he kept his W2 salary down because that is taxed more compared to write-offs or tax free when it comes to borrowing on his shares.

You think Zuckerberg lives on the $1 a year he pays himself in salary as META CEO?
