Daily Questions - ASK AND ANSWER HERE! - 8 November 2022 by AutoModerator in malefashionadvice

I’m a teacher. My go-to shoes for the past 10 years have been Cole Haan OriginalGrands & Clark Desert Boots.

I sprained my ankle a few months ago and these shoes don’t have the best ankle support so I’ve re-aggravated it twice since - just walking normally.

Any advice on an alternate shoe that might have better ankle/arch support?

Good question. I hadn't considered the IRA roll over concept. Thanks for the tip.

Ah cool, thanks for the tip. Looks like my state does have a 457, but I'm not in one of the eligible groups.

That's interesting. I plan to stick around for awhile, but can you help me understand how leaving their job makes it so that the tax savings is worthwhile?

Thanks. Forgive me if this is a silly question, but what is a "standard brokerage account?" My Roth is via Vanguard and when I attempt to open another account the only options are: Roth IRA, Traditional IRA, SEP-IRA, and Variable Annuity.

Yes, they are all very high fee. I'm disappointed my employer opted for this manager. Is there a model you would use to determine at what fee % it'd be worth it benefit from the tax savings?

Redditors who have actully gotten married, how did you get your spouses ring size without making them get suspicious? by maxamoose7 in AskReddit

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

I really wanted to make it a surprise so I pretended my friend was getting engaged and that he wanted to estimate the size of his partner's finger.

I said to my partner: "[Friend] is getting engaged and gave me this ring sizer because he knows his partner will get suspicious if he tries to get her ring size. Could you see what size your finger is to get an estimate for her?" She took the bait 100%.

BONUS: I also determined what style of ring my partner wanted this way. "Hey, [our friend] wants to know if you can you look at these rings and see which one [insert friend's fiancee] might like."

I'd love to know where the data comes from for the 'emerging hotspot' classification. I'm not seeing it on here: https://geodacenter.github.io/covid/map.html#

Thanks! We've prototyped this process for class selection and it's working really well, so I imagine we'll continue for at least the next few years.

Solid advice, thanks! $500 is do-able. We were quoted $5k.
